When can expect some driver support from ATI for the new x1900xtx card ive just bought. Superb card but cant get any drivers to load with it.

Regards

What brand? Did you not get a cd? You're on Windows XP, right?

Only the CD drivers that came with your card support these for now

Scoop what about the cards fan noise when playing games
is it true ?

6.2 one or two weeks.... the end
BTW: The 5.13s that came on the CD work with it

While not Scoop, I'll field this one. If you leave the fan on auto, you might be able to tolerate it. However, it's gonna get hot...reallly hot. I throw the fan on 70% while gaming and it's LOUD.

Normally I balk, whine, and stomp around like a disgruntled kid who didn't get a lollipop in a situation like this. But the perfomance combined with the cooling power of this sucker's got me thrilled. So thrilled, even I can deal with the noise...for now.

Sorry mate not to get back to you. Ive been playing FEAR and what a difference, superb effects etc. As for the sound of the fan its never bothered me at all. It does speed up for a second or two but then slows again. Its no problems at all, and not loud. The loudest it gets is when you boot yr computer up.

Oh and its a Saphire x1900xtx card, didnt get much of a games bundle with it but what the heck.
