What happens when your video card overheats...
Well, let's just say it's not pretty! Usually you will get alot of wierd colored lines and wierd spikey things - but this time it took all the textures off everything and looked kinda cool

Lol - if i touch my video card right after i turn my PC off, it's so hot i'd burn myself if i didn't promptly remove my hand.

I swear it's gonna melt! I'm going to have to see something about better cooling.

I'm running a Radeon 9800 (Non-pro) 256 MB and it's at 324 Core / 290 Mem. Which is not overcloked - I tried overclocking, but it just gave me problems

Confused
As I understand it overclocking can do more harm than good so it's not recommended.

I have a good fan on mine plus I don't overclock it that much, it messes your video up before it gets to that point.
