Mine arrived today and it went straight into the rig. Currently looking like a powerful card for the price although have come across one issue.

When playing a game, periodically both my screens would go black and after a few seconds it would fix itself. Not sure what to make of it really, but i assume drivers. Suppose it comes along with being an early adopter.

Overall a decent card.
 
Im having the same problem as you on my MSIs, drivers stopping and restarting, but it only happens over 950 Mhz, regardless of not having any artifacts and temps below 80.
 
Since they are pretty much the same GPUs as my previous 460s were, I'm sure that they should be rock stable and work up until they start artifacting in Vantage (My 460s made it up to 900 Mhz @ 1125 mv before they started artifacting).

If theres no artifacts and the driver stops responding regardless of the amount of voltage, then its most likely a driver problem.
 
I reckon it's most likely an unstable overclock. The 460s will exhibit driver crash and recovery when clocked too high, even if you don't see artefacts. If I clock my core speed up another 10MHz at the same volts I get driver crashes/recoveries as well. At my current clocks and 1.050v it's fine. I imagine the 560s behave in a similar way.

When I was clocking and testing this 460, I found driver crashes by far the most common symptom of a core clocked too high on not enough voltage.
 
my gtx 460 does that but only when I start gaming or watching videos, afterwards it wont happen until you switch the pc on for the next time i think.

Does it happen at stock speeds too?

Might it be the shaders that are clocked to high, and just won't go any further even if you up the voltage to the core?

Yea, probably :(

Stock speeds are fine, 950 Mhz is fine with a tiny voltage increase to 1025 mv, but nothing higher wants to work.
 
Yeah, sucks I guess. Shames there's no way to unlink core and shader clocks on these card like you can with some others. Still, pretty close to 1GHz, and the card must be performing nicely at 950.

Anyway... won't you be buying a GTX480 now since you've got a lesser card, and it therefore makes sense at £195? ;)

If not, then you need to get back to that thread and tell me how much I'll regret all that heat and noise!

Had a few glasses of red wine tonight and was perilously, dangerously close to the "buy" button on that offer. :D
 
I've got the some with my GTS250 SLI. It happens when I start watch movies - not so often. I think it's not lack of voltage, because drivers crash under Win7 only, WinXP & Linux are quite fine.
I'd blame drivers.
 
I've overclocked to 1000mhz via afterburner and my GTX560Ti is fine, no issues of black screen or drivers crashing here.
 
I swapped my cards around and the second one is fine at 1000 Mhz with SLI disabled.

Trying OCCT with SLI enabled now, *hopes for stability*.

Second card is doing 1000 Mhz @ 1050 mV, but Bsod's in OCCT with SLI Enabled .... *CRIES!!!!!*

not tried anything with this one yet. waiting to see if nvidia recognise the problem and fix it in a patch
