I've just been reading about Catalyst 8.8 drivers
they are supposed to focus on increasing crossfire scaling, as well as official support for the 4870 X2's (which will release about the time Catalyst 8.8 does)
Powerplay 2.0 will be enabled, so expect significant power consumption drops on RV770/R700 products
I just realised this will be my first ATI card... not counting my laptop. Until this point it has been all intel integrated graphics + crap nvidia cards...

So I installed the acellero on my 4850 yesterday. Temps went down from 80c to 44c. Simply amazing. Installing the card was APITA thought and i cant get the voltage regulator sink to stick. Yes I did cut it but in the process it seems all the adhesive wore off. Right now I have on the the clips wedged between it and the acellero to keep it on. Any one have any ideas for a more permanent way? I considered epoxy but that is *too* permanent.
If you have some tx-1 belive it or not it actually sticks on pretty good.
Oh and also the best way for the 4850 + accelero is to get a hacksaw for the stock copper heatsink, and saw off right behind the voltage regulator pads. It will stay on fine with the stock screws and stuff and then you can put on the accelero and party.
That's probably what I will do.
