[QUOTE="Caesium, post: 787354, member: 115385"] Couple more updates.. GPU-Z says the GPU temp is 26c which makes sense seeing as it's the same chip as the CPU. It puts GPU usage at 55% while playing video, whether it be SD or HD. Changing the onboard processing features doesn't really seem to affect that either.. Making me wonder whether it's accurate, though it does drop to 4% when video isn't playing. Maybe the onboard processing simply doesn't consume that much power on it's own. Memory usage (dedicated) is about 440MB, dynamic 67MB. GPU currently has 512MB mapped to it. I can try bumping that up to 1024 in the BIOS. 11.4 catalysts wouldn't install - they just gave no option for the Display Driver to be installed at all. I guess it's because this card isn't supported by them. I've ordered an NVidia GT 520 (decided a 210 was too weedy) to try, it should arrive tomorrow. More reports then. [/QUOTE]
