Firstly I need a little clarification on what might cause my video card to heat up to 100 degrees C. I've never noticed any problems until I started using a 1080p capable monitor, could running games at 1080p resolution be contributing significantly to the overheating issues I am experiencing (It appears the fan is running fine)? I know my computer could use a little more in the way of cooling but this problem seems to have come out of nowhere.
Secondly I am planning to upgrade in the near future and I am looking at purchasing an AMD 6850 (I have been unhappy with my last nVida card I am changing teams). This card seems to have Ok performance and is within my price range (Hardware can be expensive in Australia). Does anyone have any experience with this card with regards to value for money.
