Bob the 8800GT lived a long and healthy life. He drew many pixels, rendered many polys and did a great job with antialiasing. However, today, unexpectedly whilst an epic battle took place in Fallout: New Vegas... his capacitors swelled to the size of a grapefruit and Bob had an attack. He was no longer capable of rendering graphics and even had a hard time rendering the bios screen.
Swollen capacitors... error 43... effed up video even in bios boot... windows recognizes the device, max resolution of 640x480.
*buries card*
I guess it's a good excuse to get a better card...
