    What should I do?

    Temps,
    Idle 58
    Fallout 70

    Just got this card from ebay to replace a 9800m gtx that I had baked god knows too many times already.
    Artifacted out thrice today - twice it artifacted out on idle!

    I have the card thinking its a 280m with geforce drivers.

    GPU-Z says the clocks are 550, 799, 1375
    On the sensors tabs it says 550, 799.2, 1400

    My driver is the 188.25, which I have for Fallout.
    The bios is 62.92.4c.00.00.

    If anyone has any experience with this Quadro card in a similar system, please tell me about your experiences, because I may just have a faulty card - so I could return it.

    Powermizer off. Could the fact that I have a QX9300 (quad core cpu, running at 3 ghz) explain why my earlier 9800m gtx fried up? Though I had overclocked that video card, and it was 3 years old anyway.

    How do I know? Niffcreatures?
