anyone with AMD cards using it? i posted earlier about the GPU activity in CCC being stuck at 99% after a while but at the time i wasnt sure it was a FF problem. i can replicate the problem in firefox 4 very consistently using the demos on mozillas website (the 360 degree video demo especially). for a while GPu activity will be as expected then it shoots up to 99% and a restart or putting the PC to sleep is required to get it back to normal. closing FF doesnt do a thing for it. ive also tried disabeling the hardware acceleration in FF but that doesnt make a difference either. ive been testing it all day today though. ive been using chrome and enabled the GPU acceleration in it for good measure. ive gone to the same sites (though the 360 degree vid doesnt work in chrome) and thrown all the HTML5 i can at it. the GPU has been behaving normally. ive tried a few games also and everything is working as expected. but i loaded up FF once and within 10 mins the problem came up. poking around dinternet many of the people who are reporting the problem are also using FF4 or a FF4 beta. i have a 5850 and have seen this problem in 11.1 and 11.2 (i removed 11.1 first before installing 11.2). so im just wondering if there are other AMD GPU users here that are having the same problem? if there are, were you beta users also or is it a fresh install of FF4?osan0

same problem, sticking with chrome for now

i have a 5850 and after firefox 4 is running for a while, my gpu starts working 100% and the clocks are maxed. this continues after i close the browser and i have to reboot to get it back to normal.

okay guys, so i was thinking of getting my brother a nice surprise, his current computer is pretty bad, however, i gave him my old graphics card, which is the only decent component in his computer. SO in this build i do not need to get a graphics card, as i would just use the one he is currently using.

heres what i came up with:

buildam i missing anything? i havnt done this in a while. btw, the graphics card would be an 8800gt, which is more than fine for the games he plays

the sony reader, its amazing. But between those two, i would suggest the ipad because of the battery life.
