[andre2149]

Hi there guys, i have this laptop acer 5920G with an Nvidia 8600m GS, and in one day to another the graphics stop working, after a few reading i fand out a trick, put the graphics card in the oven and bake in 10 minutes at 200 degrees, i did, that, and now it works! but i don't think it will be working for a long tim i think.
So i decide to search a new card, and here is what i need help... for what i read this nvidia card, haves a sort life, so the best is going to ATI? or is both the same?
