Well the new cores are just around the corner, but I have a slight problem. I think on one of my overclocking adventures with my new A64, I damaged my 9800 Non pro. 3dmark crashed, then framerates dropped until the system video card cooled itself off. Framerates returned to normal, but im afraid the damage is all ready done and the card shows many instability issues.
It's not like it crashes every time I load the games up, but it seems once the card gets heated through hours of gameplay it decides to give out.
So my problem is I have to decide either to get a 210 dollar 9800p or wait a few months for the new cores.
My main question is, how long would I have to wait for the new cores? Any news in which the new GPU cores will be available? What would you do in my situation?
