    Time to replace?

    At work we have a demo machine thats running 3Dmark2000 24/7 and the Gefart 256 sdram card has become increasingly "strange" it stuttters badly and emits more heat than ever before


    I changed out all fans and thought that it would help but no go.....

    Have to check the interface material as well...

    But I think it's time to retire it......

      I lent my camera to my coworker and he's on leave today

      It the HS reaches about 40-50c and the backside 55-60

      I have 3 92mm fans pointed at it

      Its the "temp" tester!

      If anything is still unstable with that mouch airflow something is broken

        GREAT!
        Talked to the boss and he just said "Replace it"

          Yeah, you can replace that cheap nowaday. Many sub $100 cards will blow it away. Dollar for dollar, ATI cards seem faster under $100.

            Hehe

            The funny thing is, I haven't actually found a game that is unplayable on my Geforce DDR.

            Neverwinter nights was the closest any game has become to being playable on my Gefart DDR card.

            It is a bastard child though, tempermental at times, requires a good power source, hot as all heck, but I have had suprisingly few problems with it.
