I`ll post what I`ve posted in STO forums:
I have been playing for a week not and have yet to crash with my 4890 with Catalyst 9.12, everything on and everything maxed out. With this latest patch AA is now no longer greyed out, with aa @ 8x everything is smooth as silk.
FYI: AMDs catalyst team has been tweeting out that Catalyst 10.1 will be released by the end of this month, Catalyst 10.1 is supposed to be a major improvement including the introduction of actual game profiles (like nvidias forceware). Perhaps AMD is working on some specific STO fixes, but TBH i have a feeling the majority of problems are coming from people with other problems either with hardware or software outside of STO. (90% likely don't even visit these forums)
regarding the overheating issue, seems like the problem is on your side either with hardware, or drivers.
personally my 4890 runs in the mid 80's on full load in any game with the fan only at 45%, STO hasn't changed that. 48xx cards run hot, plain and simple if your card is running its jet engine fan at 100% and temps do not drop below 80 celsius let alone 90's you got a problem and its not with STO.
