after running a test on dirt 2 while the fan was set to 80% the computer still did the monitor color thing. So rule out the fan, just glitchy drivers for crossfire. ill test single in a little bit and update this post.

what you talking about willis? the newest update allows for 59hz instead of the 57hz? im going to guess that even if this is the case that people with monitors that need 60hz to show stuff will still have the same amount of difficulty?

the information on the 480 is very sketchy, drivers for the surround aren't out and hopefully it comes out very soon since the cards are coming out either the 6th or the 12th of April.
