XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog 512MB Died

[vahnx]

My XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog 512MB Died. It's under a lifetime warranty but my friend who sold it to me forgot the e-mail he registered the card under, so I started a support ticket and am now waiting to see if I'm still covered.

 

Meanwhile... I'm looking for a card that will meet similar requirements:

 

-At least the same speed in games, encoding video, etc.

-Works in Windows 7 x64, OSX 10.5.8 or maybe even SL 10.6.3 (if I eventually figure out how to install it), Linux (optional)

-2 DVI Ports

-Doesn't get too hot (last card seemed to idle at 80-90c and would reach 125c while playing Prison Break: The Conspiracy and reboot)

-Push 1680x1050x32x2 (two 1680x1050 monitors) w/ DVI

 

I hope that's not too much. The 8800GT worked fine for most of that, except it got too hot and died.

Thanks!

Bake it.

 

My 8800 GT from Apple died - I disassembled it, stuck it in the oven, baked it, and now it works great.

 

If you're running a hackintosh (I have no clue) and don't want to bake your 8800, go for a 9800 GT.
