If I was you I would buy another graphics card because it seems as though the graphics card has died, you can try to get it repaired but it may work for a while then fail again.

What are your temperatures at idle? it sounds as though something in the card failed. Unlikely but it's probably worth checking temperatures to make sure the card isn't overheating. What about other games, do you have the same problems with all games you play? :)

It had 40 ºc at idle, never overheated or something ( in my country we had a warm summer few weeks ago tho).

I tried other games and the same happened, but the first time it happened i wasn't playing...and screen gone black and then i reboot. The computer didn't recognize the graphic.

I waited like 2 hours then i plugged in again and it worked, but the day after same problem and right now it doesn't recognize it anymore i think :(

Uninstall then reinstall the drivers, maybe that will do the trick, worth a shot :)

I tried it on my comp and another computer but it doesn't even detect it..

It was working till one day it gone black screen..

it's death, tech told me the chipset is death and it doesn't recognize any computer...
What should i do? Should i replace it for a new one or should i try to repair the chipset for 50 euros?
