A surprising series of events.

Today my GPU died. (rip HD5650 you were averagely good)

 

 

 

 

 

After some troubleshooting I decided to switch to integrated graphics on my intel i5 2310. I was expecting performance loss, some more noise or something. But no, my PC is even more silent than before, CPU is at 1-4% load while browsing the interwebs. However I havent gamed yet, I think it wont be as smooth. 

 

Any predictions or input?

It went as far down as x4xx IIRC.

Oven Trick? Whats that?

 

EDIT: I checked, maybe if i'm really desperate, this card dying is an excuse for a new/my own gaming rig.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Crysis 3 run at a smooth 60 fps @ 4k.

 

I don't really know but if its something like Intel 4000 HD it should run game like minecraft just fine!

I do that quite often around here, but with motherboards. I repaired a Onkyo stereo receiver not too long ago with an oven as well. It is always worth a shot to reflow those solder joints.
