What is the worst DX11 card you have ever owned.

2GB GT610....... need i say more?

yes its runs at 103c under any kind of load without the fan on 100%, then it runs in the mid to high 90's. i've replaced the thermal paste 4 times. another thing is that it can't play crysis on any settings at all :p

MSI 280X Bios locked voltages, *** support

Plus they used the worst fans ever and still use them!

Thankfully my card worked fine, I just needed more

Palit 970X

Again bad fans, cheap built, saggy and terrible clocking
 
I went GTX470 -> GTX580 Matrix Platinum -> 7970 Matrix Platinum -> Crossfire 7970 Matrix Platinum -> GTX690

The worst out of this was going crossfire with 7970s. Just had endless problems with stuttering, and had to fiddle about with it so much. Really did not get on with it.
 
GTX460.

Worst computer component I ever owned.

RMA'd twice (due to being "picky" which motherboard it would work in). After not being actually used much in my system, it failed to work when I installed it in a friend's PC.
 
CF 5770 First foray into crossfire, Good performance but crossfire profiles often took an age to be released
5870 Cracking card and the first I watercooled
6990 Beast of a card, watercooled rapidily after I first heard how loud it's fan got and that wasn't even in "uber" mode. dogged by poor drivers and profiles
GTX 680 Cool, quiet and good performance just not as strong as I was hoping
SLI 670 watercooled, pushed out some big numbers no real complaints
GTX690 Best dual gpu I have owned, very smooth frame rate and that cooler easily dealt with the gpus heat
GTX 780 Ti SC No gripes at all

Hard to pick a worst card but I had the worst experience with the crossfire setups.
 
My VTX R9-290 X edition (Not a 290X) due to black screen issues, also it was hot. This thread just reminded me I need to RMA it actually.
 
I can complain about every DX11 card I've owned, yay me!

KFA2 560Ti - One, or two of the fans on this one, depending on what mood it was in on a particular day, would just randomly stop for no apparent reason, ended up having to get a replacement cooler when I sold it on.

HiS 270x - Bought this for a Steam box, good performance for the price, but the drivers just irritated me in the way it handled defaults for TV overscan, pretty sure it was solvable via registry edits but still.

GTX 690 - Absolutely awesome card, but my first (Gainward) model went fubar after a few months, sent it away for testing and no faults were found, almost instantly replicated the fault when I got it back, finally managed to get a replacement Gigabyte model and that worked flawlessly until the day I sold it.

SLI G1 970s - Still love these cards, have no issues running any game maxed out @ 1600p, but kind of irritated that if I knew the memory issue existed, I probably would have stretched to 980s, oh well. :)

Sigh... I want my bloody Orchid Righteous 3D back, never had any complaints about that. :D
 
Powercolour r9 290x, beast of a card power wise and no driver problems.

But reference coolers.......

Although tbf i didnt have the extra 200 quid to get the asus dcu2 model at the time so i cant really blame the card entirely.
 
Sapphire 7870. Lovely card right up to the point that the early batch bad capacitor issue reared it's ugly head with very infrequent black screens. Replaced under RMA, but as I'd picked up a 7950 by then, I punted the replacement to a mate who's delighted with it.
