Graphics cards are VERY VERY unreliable parts. In fact, they are one of the most common parts to fail in a setup. Now that they are including the GPU on die?
Another part to fail that is MUCH less reliable than CPU's.
Going to a CPU/GPU package is the definition of insanity, in my opinion, until graphics chips become much more reliable and have a function to 'throttle back' if they get too hot.
I cannot COUNT the number of times my gaming class notebook has hard locked because of graphics chip heat issues.
