Technews.lt and BalticHW.com portals for the second time in a row facing the faulty XFX Radeon video cards. Initially XFX HD 4850 in the past not could stand the Fur Mark test, now HD 5750 simply crashes. One picture here, more information and pictures here - http://tinyurl.com/yhwzbrf. XFX did not express an opinion on the situation.

Thats a shame. I've been using XFX products for the last few years (Albeit, the nvidia side of thier product line) and this just paints a bad picture for them.

That is simply a grey screen problem, not uncommon on ALL 5xxx cards.
They should have tried the hotfix.

The refraction, artifacting and other stuff is weird though.

odd that a review sample would be bad, I'd assume most are tested before they are shipped out. Then again the shipping may be the problem, If it were me I'd change carriers and see if the enxt card arrived in a similar condition.

Review samples usually travel from site to site, without much checking in between. You can get a bad one.
