Guess what happened to me?..

I updated my drivers for SH5 and bad company2..
My XFX 9800GT ****king died because of that!!

Bought a MSI R5770-PMD1G (ATI) last Saturday, no more Nvidia for me after what happened!

Mine is very very quiet, even though it has a huge fan..

"SH5 ate my video card! I want my money back!"

Just kidding, of course. Glad you got it sorted out. How is the new one?

And when it is possible, clean also your videocard.

I could in the past open my geforce 6800gt and found a cushion
of dust behind the cap of the card. The fans couldn`t cool anymore.
Luckely i was in time.

I have seen today with my geforce 260gtx that it is another story.

I have blowed with pressed air into the exit of the card.

It keeps about 45C again when idled.
