I don't think it's the stability of the driver causing the need for frequent reboots. The only time I've ever had difficulties like that are from fold...@home GPU client misbehaving after my box has been running for several days, overclocking the video HD5770 in my experience.
Well, you may be right. I have disconnected my other monitors and running just one 30 inch monitor off the second of the 4970s and it is working OK. I might just have a bad video card. I have never seen a video go out where they don't just die, but this one works and just keeps crapping out the display requiring a reboot. I will be running further tests to make sure... but right now I think one of my 4970s went bad.
So what should I get to replace it? I run three monitors. I currently have the two 4970s. one handles two 24 inch Dells and one handles a 30 inch Gateway. I need to replace the one that handles the 30 inch.
Would it be best to get another 4970? Or should I get a 5000 series and forget about Crossfire? Is there something I could get that would be crossfire in just one card for the 30 inch. Even better is there a card that would work with my existing 4970 to play games across all three monitors.
Any and all advice appreciated. w
