Like i said earlier i think some people must surely be having some driver issues. Defo seems like some over heating probs with some cards. Mine was doing that and sent it straight back. My replacement was fine. But ive not touched any overclock settings yet - don't want to tempt anything. That plus i think you lose warranty. Still tempting to overclock though lol
Not a driver issue. Today it won't run Crysis for toffee.
I requested an RMA with OCUK but I'm not going to agree to the terms. They say if they test it and don't find fault then I get stuffed a whopping fee and shipping each way.
I can see why they do it, but quite frankly to return a card that is intermittently faulty with such terms is financial suicide.
Got caught out by another company last year, ended up £27 out of pocket with a motherboard that was fit for nothing more than being a paperweight, £88 out of pocket over all.
Was my own stupidity really for agreeing to terms like that. This time I want MSI to replace it, and replace it they will.
Drivers doesn't seem to be the cause of overheating issues with this card, it's more to do with the cooler not being adjusted properly (or conflicts between CCC and AB), I fixed mine by adjusting the cooler.
It's getting better now, 71c max at 940/1375.
My temps are absolutely brilliant, and I can run synthetics all night long without a single problem.
Sadly it's when I try and use it for actual gaming that it flops. And I don't expect OCUK to sit down for an hour playing Crysis or Fallout 3 to replicate the problem, hence I don't want to agree to their terms.
Will just make MSI deal with it. They were the ones selling cards that didn't make the grade, so they're the ones who are inevitably responsible for them when they go teets up.
