Since this is OCN, hope you guys understand the Need For Speed here...
I had my GTX 580 at 975/1950/2100 @ 1.212V, it passed Heaven at 86C Max. then about 3-5 mins later the screen went flicker crazy, windows strarted to have a tail when i moved them around, their was Artifacts Everwhere and this was just on the Desktop. It only got worse when the Folding driver kicked in.
I hit RESET in Afterburner and Shut down the PC right away. Then when i resarted it, and tried to OC back to 950 @ 1.163V which had been stable through Crysis 2, GTA 4, Heaven and weeks of Folding, it crashed on Heaven....i tinkered with it and finally said screw it. I reinstalled my drivers, did some Registry Cleaning and Shut off my PC overnight, this Moring i started her up, hit the 950 @ 1.163V and she has Now passed Heaven twice and has folded 2 WU's. She is back to normal i guess you could say.
Is their any chance i should RMA while the RMAing is good and just stick with the MAX of 950 Core with the New one? OR Do you think it's okay for the long haul? (1-2 Years at 950 Core)
Thanks.
I really hope i didn't screw up my $450 Card
But i wanna know the truth
