Quote from: kregoron;278558There is a nice tool called ATItool (already been mentioned me thinks) its normally used for oc, but has a built in artifact scanner, which is pretty good at showing when a cards is beginning to become unstable or dying.

Yup, the latest beta works to some extent with nvidia card as well

Quote from: DannagE;278561118'c! Ouch.

Really need to blow to dust out of your cooler, look at the airflow from the other fans in your case or change to an aftermarket cooler.

I put an aftermarket cooler on my 8800GTX and it idles around 50'c now which is much better, and quieter!

Also make sure your fan is actually spinning.

Don't forget what these clever guys said
