This graphics card is faulty.
It displays and everything but newer games can't really be played because of lag and some video playback applications don't work as well either.
If you want to flash the VBIOS go ahead, I didn't want to take any chances and kill it. Flashing the VBIOS or some other refurbishment technique is your best bet.
One side note, the longest heatpipe to the right side of the card has a dent.
