I was using a PNY GeForce 5200 before switching to the 9600XT and didn't have a single freeze (only occasional stutters when there are too many units in the game). Back then I was using a different machine (just upgraded to the 400SC recently right before switching the video card).
Since the switch, I've had at least 1 freeze for every 3 game or so. At first I thought the card was overheating but I checked the temperature (with Catalyst overdrive meter, let me know if it's not accurate) and it stays at 36c so it doesn't look like overheating. I wasn't overclocking it either.
Any idea or anyone with similar config let me know.
Thanks.
