Thats pretty sad, If you end up RMAing it to Zotac let me know how they are handling it, time wise ect. I almost bought one and it would be nice to know how their customer service is.
My GTX 480 is Dead :( NO, ITS BACK!

It suddenly gives a blank screen an doestn't boot up sometimes.
Sometimes it runs an keeps running, but in furmark it goes blank again (not a blue screen)
Think this started after I ran OCCT.
Time for RMA again.
I'll test it again tomorrow with another PSU an see an if not RMA

The most I oced it was 800 adn it wasn't stable so I put it back down to 775.
I never overvolted it. How can this happen. I though overclockin cannot kill a card unless the heat was too much. And the heat on this was at most 90-94 in Furmark

It's a conspiracy. They all have a killswitch built in, and all those are controlled at their HQ by a monkey on crack.

I gotta agree with this. Same with the ATI driver issues.
However, gotta agree with the faults at high temps. I'm alright with 70-80C on cards, but hot hot 95? Ouch.

This. Nobody creates a thread saying "My new graphics card works as expected." Same thing with drivers. You don't say anything when something works as intended.
Edit: Also, sorry for your loss...

No, your mind is simply recalling times when you read about gtx 480s dying but ignoring all the other threads about other cards dying.
It's one of these biases probably:

Agreed. No problems here with ATI drivers, I'm actually quite satisfied with them.

Same thing with my new headphones. The GOOD reviews are out there. They just don't get the publicity. |

Dude I've been using high end cards since the Voodoo2 SLi an TNT2 Ultra.
There is something defintely wrong, but not sure what. Maybe the mobo even

But it works fine with the 8500GT, but possibly cos its a low end card.
