If there are a good number of people who would want a mod for decompressing some key .dds files, I could just put together the ones I have decompressed for myself, and release it.

Not sure of but I just updated my 5870 to the new driver, and while ever other game in my arsenal is running fine, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Crysis, you name it max settings... now when I run Silent Hunter at max settings... something I've been doing since release, I'm building up heat so fast that I have no choice but to shut down, and on one occasion the computer went ahead and shut down on its own.. I'm talking 100C and up... quickly.. like before I can even get out of the sub pen... I have set my fan speed to 100, and reduced the graphics level to medium and i'm hovering around 80-90 C which seems ridiculous... when Crysis or Modern Warfare 2, or Bad Company 2 don't get me over 60 C.. ever. I'm running three case fans.. in a central air house that never gets over 68....

This is just insane..

Are you running win 7 64 bit ?

Drewcifer · 05-30-10, 10:14 PM

Yes win 7 64 bit. The thing I don't get Is I was playing Mass Effect 2 for about two hours, not over 60C.. jumped online played Bad company 2 for a while, not over 60 C. Jumped on Silent Hunter.. picked my mission, hopped on the sub ordered ahead one third... we start creeping out of the pen and BOOM done.. card shows 100C-110C from just that brief running period when I run the game and watch the temp.. so I don't know what it got to when it shut down but regardless its getting to 100C REALLY quick..

Drewcifer · 05-30-10, 10:21 PM

I have noticed that I went from an idle temp from 10.4 of around 43 C.. to 10.5 I'm idle at 51 C... thats Zero GPU Load and the fan at 20%.

THE_MASK · 05-30-10, 10:32 PM

I went back to 10.4 because the card doesnt idle down in 10.5 . I also downclocked my 5870 to 800mhz gpu and 1100 memory clock . I left the vcore as is .

I got a ASUS EAH5870 V2 and I have exact the same problem , I am in the process to swap the GPU cooler with a Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 rev2 plus a extra huge heatsink attached at the back of the GPU PCB , I hope this two heatsink will reduce temperatures

My idle temps are the same as before driver update , 36C idle with room temps of 24C

If you search around you should find people on various sites discussing this issue. Apparently ATI 'fixed' a flickering problem with dual-monitor support by increasing the idle clock speed of the card, even on a single monitor setup. I'm not sure of the full extent of the changes, or why that would specifically create a problem at higher loads, but I would recommend reverting back to 10.4 anyway if you had no problems with that version.

Would be nice. Am I the only one?

You are not alone, Echolot. I, also, would appreciate whatever uncompressed DDS files are available.

Thanks!

I can't speak for others, but I would certainly appreciate your efforts.

SteelViking · 06-01-10, 02:41 PM

Ok, I will put together all the .dds files that I know cause clipping and low fps, and release them as a mod on the modworkshop forum. This will take a little time, but I should have it within a day (maybe today if I have time). Remember, this is not a miraculous fix, but it does help a bit especially for slower computers. Cheers.

Cool!

Every little bit helps.

SteelViking · 06-01-10, 03:02 PM

One problem, a lot of the .dds files that would need decompressing are already moddified by other mods(however, most of them were left compressed). I will see if I can get permission to use the .dds files from all the relevant modders. If I do not get permission, then sorry guys. Wish me luck.

SteelViking · 06-01-10, 11:39 PM

Sorry to anyone who wanted the .dds file decompression fix, I have gotten turned down by some key modders, and it would really be pointless to do this without them.
