hey, sorry for the late reply,
my room is pretty hot (and a bit dusty too) but saying that, even at load it only goes to 65ish
airflow is good, but i have a feeling i might need to clean the inside of the card,
not seen any screen flicker (i run dual mon's)
another question-- in battlefield 3, it runs more or less maxed at 1600x900(native) but after a while, i get really really bad artifacting (only in 64 player games tho)
do you think thats, driver, temperature (again ~65) or my card beginning to go?
thanks again
