Man, good thing you have an eVGA.
I had something similar to an X800XL I bought from ebay... the previous owner had forgotten to apply thermal paste. When I Got the card, it ran perfect, but I noticed temps were high.
I removed the cooler to see why, and no paste.I put on Ceramique as well (my fav) and as soon as I got to the post screen, green artifacts all over. Once I got into windows it was fine, but as soon as I went into 3d mode, game over. Looked like trash. Card went in the trash.
