Death of a Video Card or Bugged New Driver?

:rotfl: Seems like they're a little desperate to keep that monster cool.

Nice suggestions.

I've searched for info on these cards, including the 7900 series, and I guess that's the way to go indeed. Just need to find out if my ~400w PSU is enough to feed them.

I am running a 7800 GS for AGP myself since three months, and I'm happy. It may be that these cards are now more pricey than PCI cards - but rebuilding a new PCI-system just to put in a PCI card would cost me even more money, no matter if I do it "cheap" or not!

I don't follow the hardware trek anymore - I have learned trying to evade it wherever possible. Less stress, less costs, and happy computing nevertheless. If people don't believe me I only say Hey, play some of the old Amgia games to see the difference!

I lost a very close girl-friend when giving up on Amiga...
