I had the card in a Dell XPS 420, it's an OEM card - was a great little performer but something went on it and whenever i tried any 3d applications/movies it would just crash the system - likely I overheated some part (if not all the card) as there were very clear scorch marks on the inside of the case near the card, and they were not small lol
I upgraded the part down the ATI path and that's where that system now stays, in my front room for very occasional use.
what would the pros/cons be If I used the 8800 GT as dedicated physx card in my new system in addition to GTX 460 SLI
and if something on the card did blow (a) is it likely to be of any use as a physx card? (b) am I risking doing damage to my new system if trying this?
thanks
