updateupdate: I just now managed to burn out a Rage Pro. So that's at least ten Nvidia cards failed, and one twelve year old ATI card failed.

ATI cards are pretty stable. They either work when you OC them or they just crash. There is no in between. I find that my NVidia cards would receive a seemingly stable OC, but would heat up over the course of several hours and destroy themselves from the inside out. My old ATI HD 2600 XT 512MB worked awesome for as long as I owned it. |
