I bought a Nvidea Erazor 3 about a year ago because my puny integrated card stunk. The Erazor was a definite improvement except for the fact that it got real hot real fast, even when I wasn't using the graphics. I had actually taken the side panel off my computer and kept a fan directly on it.
I finally got fed up with that and removed the card. I know I could have just bought a second fan to install, but I really don't think it would have kept the card cool enough. Even with a large fan directly on it, the Erazor still got hot. I only paid $20.00 for it (white box) so I can't complain.
Could anybody tell me of a good card that doesn't get hot and works with 3D for under $100.00?
I found some cards at pricegrabber (that's where I found the Erazor) but I would like to know the card I get isn't going to require it's own air conditioner . I'm looking for something 64 mb or more. Can anybody help me? Thanks
