8 Comments on ATI to Release Radeon X1650
i dont really like the renaming of the x1600xt to the x1650pro though...its deceptive.
i have a "HIS Radeon X1650 Pro IceQ2 512MB AGP" (RV530) graphic card.
the manual is very poor.
i have two questions:
a) what's with the jumper on the card?
b) why can't the temperature and fan speed not be monitored?
thanks for your answer/help
About not being able to read temperatures i guess its the software problems. Modern cards are now installed with a blah blah chip that reads temperature.
