i can do desktop things fine but once i step into anything 3D i can only play a game for 1 minute tops and then it freezes!!!! i'm not doing any mods just plain ole' vanilla vidcard. i've been googling, it seems that my model of vid card has one of the crappiest coolers on there!!! NOOOOOOOO!
why would anyone sell something taht doesn't work out of the box? here's what i received:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-340&depa=0
now, this is unacceptable (obviously) so i'm thinking about returning but on the other hand i really hate spending more money. so here are my choices:
- return this card and get 9800xt with the good cooling.
- keep this card and get a good SINGLE SLOT VGA coolers.
but having googled around and trying to find one, no one makes a GOOD VGA cooler that will NOT take up 2 slots. i know artic cooling has the VGA Silencer but there is no way in hell i'm taking up another slot. Why don't people make the same thing as Sapphire's 9800xt stock cooler? SEE:
