Hi all,

Just got hold of the above card. I have read some coments on the web stating this card has heat issues. If true is there anything I can do prior to fitting it to negate this.


Cheers.

As you can see in my sig I dont have a very powerful pc at the mo,I run everything on high except textures which are on Med and it runs very well.

I use fraps to watch my fps and run between 25 to 50 fps with no slow down.

When I first started playing I had textures on high and it came to a grinding halt in intense battle scenes setting to Med sorted that

Thanks for that.
