September 11, 200322 yr Hi!I just want to inform you, this driver causing my card (ASUS V9950 - FX5900 Ultra) about 70 degree celcius when my windows xp-pro startup, and increase to 75 degree when fsim is running and still going up. As a note my card is not overclocked.Compare to recent driver from ASUS (Win2KXP4523.zip) i.e. 45.23 ver, when startup the temperature is about 54 degree celcius (stabil), and about 55-56 degree when fsim running. So take care, don't make your card overheat when using this 45.33 driver.ps. I was curious to investigate this because someone on this forum or other forum (sorry can't remember) also experienced same problem. Thanks.
September 11, 200322 yr That's probably why this driver caused my system to reboot repeatedly, usually as soon as WinXP finished loading, so that the PC was unusable except in Safe Mode. I also tried the Omega version, with the same result. I've now gone back to the 44.03 driver. My graphics card is a Geforce3 Ti-500, with no overclocking.Dugald
September 11, 200322 yr On my system with this driver I get exact same temps as with the rest of the 44.* and 45.* series. Idle its at 48-49C and tops at around 55C inside FS9 with 4XAA.System specs:ECS K7VZA moboAMD XP2000+1GB RAMGForce4 ti4600
September 12, 200322 yr My temp actually went down a deg. go figure. sit tight rumer has it that nvidia is coming out with the 50.xx drivers by the 15 or the end of the month. they supposedly reworked the whole driver. but we will see.
September 12, 200322 yr I have seen no temperature variation with my FX5900. It's running between 45-50C. The default settings indicate this card can heat up to 140C before the warning lights start flashing (if the system still has the capabilities). Thanks for the warning though. You made me look...Jim Young
