anytime it was pushed. Load a game? crash etc. My outlook on Nvidia cards right now is crap.
Are you checking it with GPUZ ? You have to have the latest version or it reads wrong. Is the screen a
blue screen crash or an orange screen when pushed. I had both problems too. The newest GPUZ read it
right and the orange screen crash was only with BF3 so I'm assuming you are getting the BSOD ?
Changing cards can be tricky I'd do some more work before returning it. Use the provided driver
and once you get it squared away, then try updating it. I had a week of screwing things before
I got all the ticks out of it.

Good Luck Rubber Duck !

I get free shipping for newegg RMA's every time. You just have to ask and they will give you a shipping label in like 5 minutes.

Now Ducky didn't I tell you that you made a mistake buying that shit reference msi card? yeah im pretty sure I did..... but no you had to listen to the drunk fawk about how awesome his is.

well to answer as many questions as I can,

I tried the drivers from the disc, FAIL
i tried the drivers from NVIDIA.com Latest FAIL
I tried the NVIDA drivers 1 step down FAIL

I followed the same procedure I did with my ATI card which is back in there now BTW. The 5850 is running fine yet again. Simple to install no hiccups.

The GPU would CTD and BSOD when trying to play a game other than minesweeper and when I tried to bench in full screen it failed and crashed to desktop.
I had to reinstall Windows twice because the 1st time SP1 failed to install everytime.

I check the card with MSI Afterburner and GPU-Z both said the Factory Clocked card of 975Mhz was at 705mhz and the voltage was something like .075 or something. it was below the rated voltage on the card.
Also, the MSI tools provided to update the card and MSI afterburner could not ID the card. They did not recognize the card. So yes, TMM, I am pretty sure it was the card.

You used that same afterburner install with the ATI card? Was it installed the entire time you've been having these issues? IF so, there's the source of your problem.

no, i was not using msi after burner from the ati.
This was after I reinstalled the OS. So no ATI until after I removed the card and reinstalled the 5850.

well i shipped it out this morning. I also gave it a negative review on newegg. ^_^
After all they did rave about it. They made a video about it.

I am also having a beotch of a time getting ArmA II + OA to run after the reinstall. It comes up before the logo screens and says ArmA II has stopped working then goes back to desktop so yeah no errors. I tried reinstalling it twice same response. Also everytime I run the verifying of local files it says that it failed ot verify 1 file and it will be redownloaded but either that never happens or the file is perm corrupt. So no DayZ just yet erocker n friends.

Going from ATI to Nvidia is always a challenge. I didn't reformat or
anything though. Just posted problems and was bailed out by
Dave mainly. Using them TPU resources Then again some people
get a lemon. If I were you Ducky I'd hold off on the RMA.
That is the good thing about having a back up gamer you can work
on one and still have a gaming machine. Check and see if the Bulldozer
has issues with that card. Google if you haven't already. Wish I had a dime for
every thread I've read from Googling. I'd be a 1%er.

Yes sir. I could only run about Medium at 1080 and turn off a lot of settings. I am maxed on everything at 1080 and average probably 75/80 on BF3. Drops to 65 fps in very heavy fighting.
I had to turn off HBAO because I got an Orange screen, but it looks fantastic. Very happy with as Mc"Frick"Phenom would put it a POS reference card Teenagers you either want to huggem or killem

How do you guys think this lappy will handle BF3?

4GB DDR3
i3-2350M-2.3GHz
HD 7670M 1GB

It's currently on special for a REALLY good price, it's 14 inch and could be an awesome little gaming lappy.
