Well it might be a coincidence that after 3 years warranty the card has expired, but I played Tomb raider on Ultimate settings with my EAH6850 and next day booted up and the card was dead..well on the internet, someone said choosing "Ultra\ultimate" settings in a game is a GPU killer...h'mm can this be true that a game can ruin a GPU as the fans were working and no clogging dust.
And if a game can kill a graphics card what card for about £200 can handle any game at any settings?
