I have a lot of questions so im just going to make a list....
1.What is an artifact?
2.What do find max core and find max mem do?
3.How do I get it too diplay the temp of my video card?
4. what is an average ocd card temp?

artifact is what happens when the card gets too hot and it messes up, so they are bad

finds the maximum 'safe' core speed and memory speed

there is a check box in the options to show temp

depends on the card... yours? i would say dont go much over stock, whatever that reads.

the one on the left is the core temp, while the one on the right usually means either the card area temp or the RAM temp.

memory seems a bit warm, but otherwise that looks alrite...even tho 68C seems high, gfx cards can take a lot more then CPU's can.

wow i guess mine runs cool. i don't know if the agp is much diff but with the stock coller i never topped about 60 c. i would reconend the zalman cooler( i have the all copper one), i put one on and it now idles at the abient temp of 35 c and full load is about 52-54 c. i also gave me a little more oc. i usually run mine at 460 on the core and 575 on the mem

No Im just not gonna oc I dont have the money for a new card right now theres alot of stuff I want. I think my card is plenty fast right now.
