strange with 4870x2...

[Pelu]

sup all... i got a new 4870x2 and a new psu and i notice that one of my card two cores get hot and have activity but the second one is cooler and no activity at all... I have catalyst 9.1 and AI in advance....

any idea of what is going on and how to fix this, or this is the way to be... half the card down...

I have to use NVCP to select AFR modes 1 & 2 to heat up both gpus in my 8800GS sli setup. You may have to do something similar via your Catalyst driver.

hm... maybe ATI Tray Tools... and 8.12 hotfix...
a lot of people is complaining about 9.1, apparently the 9.1 screw up some stuff like performance and remove some already fixes implemented in 8.12 hotfix...
