nope... It won't shutdown.... 8800gts card is used for to test my friends system or will always stay in my second system.. So that my little niece and nephew can have second system to play video games when they come to my room.. I don't want them to touch my main rig all the time especially when i am in office... also i won't sell my old vid cards just like that.. I don't know maybe i don't want to sell them for so low price when we got for high price..
I even have 6600 ddr3 128mb, 6800gs cards tooo..
Also gpu chips can bear that heat but naturally their performance will drop along with life too... But won't die on the spot... This is coming from 1st generation fermi chip guy too... .. Fermi 470 and 480 are the worst chip ever made from nvidia or ati considering the heat they produce...
@gtx 470/480 - respect dude!!! B-)
