artifacts on some games, GPU temp?

Sounds like its on the way out. As someone else said, running with fan at %100 is not a good solution.

Whats your budget for a new card? The 460 is a steal at the moment and the evga (only one left at time of typing) has a 10 year warranty.

it was the first time i ran it at 100% , just to TEST it for 5-10 mins

thinking of a GTX 460
 
Just want to give an update

My 8800 GTOC was running around 60+ idle, and probabally going over 80 mark on load

put a GTX 460 in the computer now, and it idles at 31 with fan running hardly at all! and going upto 60+ on load

so i am guessing the 8800 GT was just over heating, games ran fine on it, crysis was no problem at all becuase the temp on the card didnt reach 80, but on the likes of batman it goes too high
