Games stop working at randomish times on VTX HD6870??

Try Updating DirectX

Do run the full installer first

DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) Full Download

Then run this web updater to make sure it has all the latest updates installed.

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Remember to untick the Microsoft Bing rubbish (if you don't want it) the web installer tries to install so don't click quickly.

now i have the option of RMA but with games crashing/not responding issues is that clased as faulty?? I dont want to see it not being faulty and then pay £12.50 for it.
 
I had that card and had to send it back twice. When I initially got it it was working for the first week or so, but then it randomly started crashing on most games that I played. I ran ATI tool on it and artifacts began appearing pritty quickly, I sent it back and got a replacement but the same things started to happen again. I sent it back and got a refund so if I were you I would do the same :)

Oh right so I should ask for a refund instead of replacement. guy asked me if I want a replacement. Im hoping to get the HIS 6870 instead.
 
Its totally up to you, if you want to get a different card I would get a refund because I doubt they will upgrade you to a more expensive card (I tryed and it didnt work)

Cheers mate, btw forgot to add I bought the card like 3 months ago. so is it eligible for refund?
 
Mine was outside of the 28 day period and I managed to get a refund. Had to hassle them a bit because I didn't want that card back at all haha
