Stupid video card!!!

I bought a 8800 GT from EVGA for my PC downstairs. It's not the best out there but it should do fine. My problem with it is heat. The card runs in the 50s at idle and in the low 70s when stressed. It has some sort of thing where the default drivers won't run the fan properly. A popular fix for this is to run riva tuner to control fan speed but I think that the software is pretty crappy. I've set GPU fan to run manually at 60% and it seems ok. I get in the upper 40s at idle and in the 60s when stressed which I guess is fine. The weird thing is in CoD 4 i get some lag. It seems to be server lag based on the lagometer but I still don't like it.

The big problem is me I guess. I really rocked at CoD 2 but I don't have the time to get good at CoD 4 so I pretty much suck. Oh well at least I have a good streak. 25 in a row... not too shabby!!
