It’s actually really weird running a game at such a high resolution, but at least I’ve found something that actually causes my graphics card to stutter. I get about 15fps when I run at such a high resolution. I think preformance would be greatly improved if I were simply running two higher resolution displays. That way all of the video output would be done through a single card, as opposed to 2/3 on one card and another 1/3 on a different card. That said, I love my 4850×2 with 4 DVI outputs.

My 4850×2 was running hotter than I am comfortable with under linux because the fan was set to the lowest speed. After a quick Google search I found a fourm talking about using aticonfig to solve the problem. As it turns out, the command is very simple:

aticonfig –pplib-cmd “set fanspeed 0 100″

where 0 is the card identifier and 100 is the % you want the fan speed to run at.
