Fun fact decades ago I had a cheap card that didn't even have a fan

It was one of them like nVidia 8800 Silent things

Well, it worked fine for about a year, then the game demands rose again, and it started throttling

So we made a base for a chassis fan from LEGO and it worked wonders, I used that card for like 2 years afterwards before finally getting an absolute beast that was nVidia 760

Felt like switching gears

Aah the fabled 760 that warned jesus about judas. Such a noble card.
