Well it came to the time that my 8600GTS just wasnt cutting it plus it was artifacting. I was looking into a new Nvidia card but noticed this trent
6600Gt dead
Second replacement 6600GT dead
my brothers 8800GTX Dead.
My friends 8800GT Dead.
work mate 9800GT sent back twice,
and since i have not known any problems with ATI i thought it time to tell Nvidia to go stick it!
And so far i am loving this graphics card Company of Heroes everything set to maximum AWESOME!
Just my two cents
Got my new 4870

Re: Got my new 4870
every manuf. has cards die, ati just tends to be for different reasons(can be touchy if you take things apart to clean them(how i killed two ATI cards))
but hey, both my nvidia cards are alive(not so well, but alive) after running for days or weeks above 110C so i can't really complain about my two really old cards that have died in the past(RIP 4ti 4200 and mx 200)

Re: Got my new 4870
from memory the first 6600 was a legend it had a red PCB the second was something like Sparkle, the 8600 was XFX XXX, the 8800GTX was xfx 8800Gt XFX and the 9800GT was umm gigabyte?
