Video Card Recommendations
Hi Everyone,
I need a new video card. I was actually happy with my previous one, but the fan stopped working on it & it overheated. Previous video card is a Sapphire HD 2600 Pro, 256 mb, ddr2, memory, pci express. I do some light gaming & it handled everything just fine. So, I'm looking for something to replace it, nothing fancy, around $100.00 or less. I do have a preferance for Ati cards & it must have it's own fan. I don't know how much of this info you need, but here's some specs: Power supply: Corsair 450w Motherboard: Asus M2N-MX SE Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Dual-Core Processor Memory: Corsair 2 sticks of 1024mb DDr2 Any advice would be greatly appreciated! phoebe |

call sapphire and have them send you another fan, it's worth a shot or...

I doubt a new fan would help - usually when they overheat, the damage is done.

I recommend this PNY GeForce 9800 Video Card, I'm using it for the past 2 months. I even got dual monitor setup with it. The temperature were between 46 - 54 d Celsius.
