That Arctic cooler is
very effective! Totally noiseless too!
Both the 5970 and the 5870 runs idle at 32-36 degree C, fully loaded like above benchmark neither of them came above 65 degree.
Silent Hunter 4 is not able to push it above 60 degree!
Stock cooler would easily send either of them above +85 degree...

Absolutely! Cooler alone is almost $70 and from February this year.
Only downfall is that it's so fat or thick, there's no room next to it for both cards to run at the same time!
Time to finally get that watercooling kit installed... A project long overdue...
To get this thread back on topic
I can highly recommend the 11.4 driver - unless you really insist on the WHQL thing.
If you're using a series 5XXX or 6XXX card there are quite a few new options, like morphological filtering, tesselation and surface format optimization.
And as demonstrated above, it is very fast!
