Yeah given it a good clean... tried it on a different mainboard too.... dead.

Well hacked off... was a good card, 1Gb version.. at the time it was pretty good... still I guess its 3+ years old now.

Heard the AMD R9 GFX cards are better than the nVidia items these days?

Anyone got an AMD GFX card?

ah bad luck :(

I switched to ATI/AMD after 3 nVidia cards failed in a row, two of them actually went bang, exploding capacitors!
I've got an HD 6850 now, water cooled :) The card before was an HD 5750(still working in the family PC now) and my brother has an HD 7770(I think). They're all really good, zero problems :)
I dunno about their latest offerings though but presumably they're as good, I tend to just buy whatever is around the £100 mark and they generally handle all the latest games on high settings for several years.
