Its pretty much the same principal as people baking their 8800GT cards ..it buys you enough time to replace the card but it will eventually die again and normally far quicker than you expect.
I agree. I've had very good luck with "proper" station work though. PC which I use for old games has NV 4400ti which was repaired and has been 1000+ hours on in 2 years time.
Baking method heats whole card which isn't something I wouldn't say worth it. ie. G80 die is the problem and it's going to die 100% again.
