A game is never to much for a video card, the heatsink should be up to the task of cooling it. The only issue I could see here is that the card needs to be cleaned. So open it up and make sure the fan and heatsink are fine.

There might be an issue with the PSU but 500 watts is plenty but the amperage on the rail for the video card might cause an issue. If I was you'd I go a new PSU soon just because I don't trust a Dynax.

Once I get home I'll have more time to think about it, but I would certainly just make sure there are no issues with dust in the heatsink.
