Hey guys,

Basically I bought the card back in Aug"11 and started using it when I finished building my PC in October last year. Over the past 6 months I've seen ppl posting on the forum about numerous issues with the VTX HD 6870 model in which I own.

I have suffered playing games and goin to desktop, watching utube and gettin the blue screen error and AMD driver stopped working most notably. I was going to send it back to ocuk but was afraid tht the issues myt not appear and I won't get a replacement.

So I carried on using until now when it is completely unusable. I was watching a flash video and then some artifacts appeared on the screen. I restarted like 10 times and it cant get pass the boot screen.
I used my onboard GPU and everything is working fine so clearly is the GPU.

should I send it back for replacement?
 
Yes. Send it back. Something is clearly up with it if it's fine using onboard. I had a 6870 before and had no issues personally so probably just a bad one :(
 
KK thx, Well they said tht there gonna send it back to supplier, not sure if they'll let me exchange it for a different brand tho.
