I am averaging a new video card about every 18 months and wondered if I 
am doing something wrong.

The first two cards were fanless, the current one has a fan.

In all 3 cases, I am running the card at 1920x1080 24 hours a day (no 
screen saver, no DPMS, etc).  Could this be "burning out" the cards?

What temp are they running at when doing max work?  (See NVIDIA driver for the temp)
