Problem with ASUS GTX570 DirectCU II

So I recently sent in my newly acquired card because I was getting things like this when using 266.58 WHQL drivers that came on the disk:

Artefacts in JC2
Crashing in JC2
Lots of weird textures in JC2
Broken and flickering in Crysis 2
WoW was unplayable, I mean, it would literally freeze every time i tried to move the camera.

When upgrading to the newest drivers (270.51), most of the texture things were fixed, with the exception of some in WoW, some in Crysis2 but I only had time and the chance to catch this one:

Artefacts/weird textures in WoW
And I would also have things like Google Maps crash and very importantly Photoshop, etc., would also crash, and I read on ASUS forums that using the 266.58 drivers is the only way to avoid crashes, but obviously, I can't because everything is unplayable!

Today I receive an e-mail from OCUK saying the folllowing:

"Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, "

First of all, I am happy for them, but the card isn't ATI so those tests can't run (afaik) on this card. I also ran Vantage/11 on 270.51 drivers but not on 266.58 due to time limitations and I don't remember any problems. I ran furmark as well *on 270.51 and it was fine, but I'm just wondering what to do, because I think the card is faulty and I'll have problems in the future. :confused:
 
OC use the latest WHQL drivers so update to those.
Have you got any of the games OC tested with? Try those and see if you get problems.
You could try updating your mobo BIOS and flash your cards BIOS to the latest aswell.
 
Thanks, I suppose I have to pay them for shipping first, got an e-mail 20 minutes ago saying they won't ship until I pay for the testing! Their offices are now closed, let's hope I get this done in time for delivery by Friday as I will be able to do some more extensive fingering around over the weekend.
I have Crysis Warhead, I guess I'll give it a go, again.
