try closing some of your taskbar application....rockstar social club(GTA4) sitting on my taskbar used to trigger my card to full speed...Steam might trigger it as well

I meant apply, typo, haha

my gc is pre-oced and i manually oc it further.when ur comp is rly idle sometimes for about 30 min open up gpu-z and check

anyone had their gtx260 rma'ed? what is the rate of failure for this card??
I just know gtx280/285 is the most failure rate....i read sum1 here post it.

that one is a chart listing out the failure rate of each graphic card right? i wouldnt take that thing seriously to buy graphic card....anyway gtx 260 still running strong since 2 months ago i bought it

did u overclock it?

any news about when it will be available?

nope....i dont find the need to overclock it since i can maxed out all games anyway except for crysis which i dont bother much

Moderation Note

Merged two similar nVidia Topics together into this thread !

May I know which is the stable driver for Nvidia ?
I'm currently using GTX 275 with the latest driver 185.85 but I during my gaming time like FC2 , The last remnant ..my driver keep stop respond and restart it. This make things difficult for me..hope sifu sifu around here can enlight me

To date, there is no statistic report for gtx285 failure rate. So can't say yet. But gtx280 confirm the highest. Gtx260 wise i cant remember, but its rma rate is definitely in the range of norm

Don't la scare me bro. lol

I'm using XFX GTX 275 and I never oC it . Its on its default setting

GPU clock - 640mhz
Memory clock - 1134mhz
Shader - 1404mhz

I directly install the new driver after formatting my pc ( my pc is brand new ) So I suspect either is hardware problem or its the driver who playing nuts with me.
About the temperature is roughly around 45-48c during Idle and play game like The Last Remnant gone up to 70c..i guess that's pretty normal ?

Any 520W above with 2 Six Pin Power Connector PSU will juice up the GTX260
