The fan is making funny noises, the temps get way out of hand, and my machine is starting to randomly reboot under heavy load while gaming. My other fans are all fine (case fans/heatsink fan/psu fan) and free of dust, so I'm pretty sure it's the GPU fan that is starting to die.How about something like;
The dying card is a Powercolor Radeon 4890.
I don't want to spend a heck of a lot of money to replace it because my system isn't that great (Core2Duo e8400, 4GB ram), but I figure there must be a decent value video card that at least matches or exceeds the performance of the 4890. Ideally I'd like something really quiet and low-power. I've looked into the 6770, but I really think it's overkill for the rest of my system.
