After a varying amount of otherwise perfect game play, the videocard suddenly goes black, sometimes an image remains, sound sometimes continues, sometimes not, sometimes magic sysrq works sometimes not, requires system reset in all cases. Performance (for all games) is similar to a radeon 9000 (r200), which is unexpectedly low.
