Hey there.
I bought my 560Ti late last year, in December and haven't had a brilliant experience with it as a card. The drivers were often broken, performance yields have been nowhere near what they should have been (Until overclocking) and I'm going to avoid the 60 series of cards from now on as a result of this card.
So, basically, I've been OC'ing the card for the last 2-3 months and the last few days the performance of the card has taken a noticeable drop when gaming.
I've been running the card at 1000 Core clock, with no problems, and at 1.1mv voltage. That is the limit I've found for my card. The other day I went to play BF3 on the Armoured Shield map and found my FPS yields to be pretty bad, even when settings were reduced. Sitting around the 30 mark. This is with only about 4 people on the map, on a private server. After that I saw mass artifacting and figured the card was conking out, so I reduced my clocks and it stopped.
However, ever since the performance of the card just hasn't been the same, it never was good at stock clocks if I'm honest, BF3 is stuttering a lot, even on small maps at medium settings and I'm not getting the 60fps I should be. It's got to the point where it can be completely unplayable. The temps are only at about 60-63 in this case. Sleeping Dogs was crashing with the GPU around 75-76 degrees, something I've never seen before. I'd get to this certain part in a mission, and not at an exact point, the GPU would conk out within the range of about 1 or 2 minutes of this part of a mission. I tried several times with the same result. Planetside 2 is also running like crap, even at low settings.
Under normal circumstances on the Desktop, I have no crashes, but this sucks. I can't really game properly due to the card doing this.
Is there a health test I can do, and how would I go about RMAing the card? It's an ASUS 560Ti Direct CUII 1GB GDDR5 card and it's under a year old.
I have also recently switched to Windows 8 and games WERE performing fine, up until now. I was using 310.54 beta and reverted to 310.33 and both drivers are running quite badly.
Just as a side note, I did a FurMark bench and put the settings up and saw no artifacting, not within the time I was watching anyway, and temperatures were within the low 80s... This threw me off a bit.
If someone could help me it'd be appreciated, thanks.
