how did u do the screenshot?
i'd say the tga ought to be okay even if it looked wrong in game

if u turn up gamma, for example, the tga/s are still dark...

I think the vid card memory gets all fuzzy when it's too heat... and when a screenshot is taken I think simply the frame buffer in the vid card is saved to disk... hence it looks crap too (but different).

I will be returning the card only after the weekend

If it were me, I would put in a paper tube to the main fan intake to draw air accross the video chip and turn down the quality settings in the game. Just for the weekend.

That's certainly improvising

improvisation is always a way to go, but for those people at home who don't have an empty yoghurt pot, a toilet roll, 4 milk bottle tops, and sticky back plastic, just try blowing on it

Interesting idea Dragon, but I doubt if it would work for me

Anyways after three weeks Sapphire was as kind as to send me a 9600 Pro for replacement
