Re: Graphics card overheats?

Well, you can check the GPU temp with the new nVidia control panel. Just download the latest drivers and get out of the games after 10 mins and check the temperature, if it's more than 80` C, then you might be having problems with it.

Re: Graphics card overheats?

I sent you the PM back, but in case other people are wondering, your card probably is over heating. You can either add more fans to your case, or buy a better heatsink for it. I use this one on my 6600gt and it works great
