Was given an eVGA 8800GTX 768Mb card that has all the symptoms of a bad memory module.....red lines and has marks across the screen that crawl around in 2D mode, severe artifacting and crashing in 3D mode. It's product suffix is AR so it actually qualifies for lifetime warranty. It was not...

Just realized that the reason I've run into a few hard lockup issues (in F.E.A.R.)with my new 8800GT is that the fan control doesn't ramp up at all in 3D games, just stays at the regular 2D 29% and that's it. I'm using Rivatuner to set the fan at a fixed 75% in 2D/3D, but when use Rivatuner to...

I have a Dell 2.5 ghz with Nvidia Geforce MX 420 card.
