    It´ll start crashing before it´ll start burning, so push it until the image freezes or start getting image corruptions. Down the clock some notches and run some graphical intensive stuff for some time. If it runs without a crash for hours (say, about 12 or more ) you´ve got a fast and stable G400.

      Oracle....can I ask how you can run a G400 and a V3 2000 in the same rig? Do you have some method of switching between the cards?

      I ask because I have 2 old V2's in my rig and it would be nice to upgrade to a V3 with my G400 Max.

      Thanks,

      Dave

        stick in a pci v3 right and get a app called 3d control center from www.3dfiles.com 9its in the utilities section install it and u can switch between your primary controler (g4000 and yr 2nd (v3)

        easy peasy !!!!
