u[date: Installed new card, fresh driver install. Flashing in crysis, flickering in crysis 2, furmark artifacting. Farewell PC...you didn't exactly do me proud...

Thanks Although it's actually referring to 580s, still useful. I'll put my faith in Gainward...hopefully just a bad batch of ASUS cards...TBH I didn't even know they made GFX cards... EDIT: hmm 'The issue more than likely lies in the bios. Apparently ASUS and MSI had the same...

Removed the Asus card in preparation for the new one tomorrow. The metal of the heatsink appears fairly scratched, internally and externally. Has anyone else seen this on their card?

Not just that game, furmark artifacts and Crysis 2 artifacts. I'll update after some time with the new card

mosfets? I have had both cards in my possession at the same time. As mentioned in the original post, I noticed several scatches on the inside of the copper heatsink on the first one. They are a custom pc company with excellent reviews. I will be receiving a new Gainward card tomorrow, a...

Interesting, of course I guess I'll find out after using the new card for a while..

Sorry, could you clarify what you mean by 8 power phases? Thanks

Hi Boss, is your system new, and if so where from?

I thought about it, but as it was a brand new machine decided not to bother...it's using 280.26 WHQL nvidia drivers (newest)...and to me significant furmark errors have always pointed to significant card damage. However with the new card coming, I have decided to do this...thanks for the...

Thanks! I hope it isn't the case, was looking forward to Skyrim...but the headache involved with PC diagnosis is beginning to get the better of me! Yes I chose that PSU specifically as I have had some bad experiences with a previous OCZ PSU... I also am using a surge protector for extra...

@ Jack Dolph 'the card we’ve been seeing some problems with is the Asus card which has very odd power supply requirements and makes use of a proprietary PCB design' I do have an ATI 4770 lying around but as I'm being sent a new card tomorrow I'll just try that... Of course if this...

Exactly, very unlucky. The company have replied saying that card has some 'unusual power requirements' and they seem eager for me to try the Gainward card instead... Any way to test a suspect motherboard?

Maybe you misunderstood, I said I didn't overclock either card, both came factory preset at whatever ASUS set it to: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGTX570_DCII2DIS1280MD5/

Hi So to clarify, two 570s down, both slightly factory overclocked (haven't got the specs in front of me), and I haven't played around with either of them. Yes nothing else seems to be affected, and I have now been offered a replacement Gainward Phantom GTX 570 (new) to try. I have an...

Hi All I have recently purchased a brand new gaming system from a reputable company, which arrived with a pci latency issue (identified as a wireless card issue, replaced) and an Asus GTX 570 that developed issues on the first weekend. These involved texture flickering in crysis 2, furmark...
