I get you - what I'm trying to say is you'd expect a brand new card to function at stock speeds without any such issues at stock volts. If I'd need to bump into it a few extra volts just to stabilise stock performance then there's something wrong. Heck, most people get their cards to even run higher frequencies with the stock voltage.

Get it returned. If the card can't operate at stock settings and stock volts then it's faulty.

Happened to my 780 ti classified.

You should not need to overvolt your card to just make it work at stock clocks. You'd have a proper stinker to overclock on air too.

I unfortunately had one with a dodgy middle fan which would rattle and cause all sorts of noises at speed and ramping down.

But OCuk were fantastic and already got a replacement sorted, they really do have great customer service. Just contact them and they will sort you out nice and quick with no hassle at all.

The 780ti was also artifacting at stock speeds/voltage?

Graphics driver was resetting and crashing windows only in 2-3 games. (increase voltage fixed it)

Well today and last night I finally got some time to play more and didn't get the artifices. I also updated to 14.1 so hopefully it was just a one time issue.

Appreciate everybody's help

My apologies again guys.

**Edit** Deleted the big ass picture, linked it instead, POWER!

Any chance you can send me some other pictures of your case...

Do you have the side glass panel for your prodigy, if so a couple with that sowing your Tri-X would be cool..

Same problem as myself. I chose overclockers over everyone especially for the customer service.. and considering i was unlucky enough to have one with the fan issue i was glad i did, overclockers were fantastic. Very fast reply to webnotes and just down right helpful and nice about everything. It was a sizeable chunk more expensive than an alternative but i was happy to pay for it. Had to pay for the return postage but overclockers will hopefully give me a good chunk of that back once i provide the reciept scan.

Should be recieving my replacement on tuesday so fingers crossed! Im one rma away from sleeping in a box
