Once More Into The Breach
Visited Capitol Square at lunchtime today, and came back with an Asus 9600GT, 1GB version.
I will try not to blow this one up.
For two weeks of effort and about $120 more than I originally planned to spend, I'm getting half the performance. But at least I've evaded the sharks.
Update: Seems to work. (Tiptoes away very very carefully...)
Update: Still working. Card temperature is hovering around 35ºC (95ºF), compared to about 60ºC (140ºF) for the short-lived 9800GT. The cards are supposed to be roughly comparable in performance and power consumption - the 9800GT a bit higher on each. Makes me wonder if my card was faulty even before I destroyed it.
