Hello guys, I am deciding to buy Gainward NVIDIA 2GB DDR3 GT610 2 GB DDR3 Graphics Card.There is a question i want to ask that will my graphic card burn out or overheat if keep my keep pc idle for hours? I have habit of downloading and sometimes I dont shut down pc for two straight days! Please help me to decide whether buying a graphic card will be a good idea or not?
 
Solution
There should not be a problem with that. I tend to leave my PC on for as long as a week for the past two years and my graphics card and monitor are running just as they did when i bought them :)


No. When the card is IDLEING it is using very little power, so leaving your computer on won't kill your video card or overheat it.

Sorry popatim, I didnt get anything of what you said about integrated solution.I am a casual gamer and like to play occasionally. I am from India and here 610 is the only card I am finding which is in my budget. I am buying this card after reading reviews on: http://www.flipkart.com/gainward-nvidia-2gb-ddr3-gt610-2-gb-graphics-card/p/itmddrzzcygk7hzf?pid=GRCDDRZZCYGK7HZF&ref=94534aa2-5938-4fa2-8a8e-8ac48d09f6ee&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=graphics+card
After reading these reviews, I thought that this card will be a good card to buy.
Could you suggest any gaming card which is which is better than this but still in budget.My budget in dollars is appx. $50.
