surely they will have to replace the card with same or superior seeing as the 570 has less vram?

I hope they give me a 580
I don't think that they even have 480's anymore?
maybe - maybe not - don't forget they'll have refurbs too

I forgot about that
ah well, it was a longshot hoping for a 580.
Do you think they may be willing to give me a standard 480 and a lesser card for physx?
Soldato
wouldn't worry - if you get a refurb 480 SOC - it'll probably be great
in general refurb items - be it gfx cards or any other product - probably get tested more thoroughly that brand new ones
i want a reference one to liquid cool!
Just bought mine a few a days ago. Unfortunately a few mins into any game artifacts appear, then the screen goes black with white dots flickering all over. Its fine until i try and play a game My PSU is a new Antec 750W.
is it RMA time, or is there anything i may be overlooking?

Maybe your PSU dIed?
Use OCCT to checm for errors and if you have thousands in the first few mins then RMA.

download msi after burner and use it do down clock the core and memory. than run occt and if you get no errors than i would have thought it would be pretty safe to assume your card is unstable/faulty
When I swap in my old GPU everything works fine so I don't think so. Ill try OCCT, cheers.
I'll ty this too after work... This won't affect my RMA if it is faulty will it?
Thanks a lot
Soldato
No. Just say that you called them and were advised to by the tech guy

I've just myself one of these cards - I'm a bit confused by the posts here - are these cards flawed or something? I've just download OCCT and ran the GPU error check, but I'm not sure I understand what I'm looking at. I ran the test for 3min 30 seconds or so and it aborted. I could see thousands of white sparklies during the test. Temps went up to 90 degrees. This was with the card set to auto.

only some are flawed
If you run the error check and you don't get 30,000 errors in the first few mins then chances are, your card is fine. congrats!
EDIT:Just re-read your post. White sparkles doesn't sound good
Soldato
Sounds like your card isn't stable at advertised clocks.
If it were you wouldn't see any 'sparklies', it'd just be a seemingly static image of a red swirly fractal pattern.

Been trying to decide between this and a 6950 for a couple of weeks now, but the this week only offer has got me leaning towards the 480 now. Bit worried about the size though, does anyone have one of these in an Antec 300? Don't really want to have to start removing parts of the case to fit a card in...

well that's what you would have thought - but I just tried Mafia II for a bit and everything ran very well
