So my gtx 950 has been acting really off and constantly going to 85c and randomly in a game my pc just shuts down or resets. I tried dusting it, i reinstalled and nothing seems to be working so im figuring my best bet is to just get a gtx 1060 6gb. its not my cpu because it sits about 50c under load and everything else seems fine. here are some links to ones I might get, i wanted a dual fan so it has better thermals for OCing and such.
