Pretty big IF though. AMD don't have it in them to have a solid product launch, when it comes to GPUs. Seems they save that solely for the CPU side.

Could just be me as never owned a card this big, just seemed to be a slight droop on the rear. But all works as seems solid enough, it's not moving about.

I have had this, after updating. But my main problem I had the blue screen of death, installing the latest drivers.diaglog box on start up about hardware configuration changing and restart your PC for it to take effect
No need to unplug anything if you run WUB to disable all MS software updates, then re-enable updates after your softwares installed.I find that when I do a driver update I download the drivers first. Check Microsoft update is not up to anything. Unplug the network cable and do a reboot. Then update the drivers. Not had any problems for years.
If you can't get this sorted under warranty it looks quite and easy repair for someone who has the patience. Didn't Vince used to do this type of thing? If it was mine I might be tempted to try it myself. I bet you can find someone online who will fix for not much money.been giving my xtx a good look over as it developed symtoms of constant crashing and pc restarts under any kind of 3d load, pictured from the back of the card above the pcie connection i noticed a tiny surface component has been partially broken off.
just checked online they are ac decoupling capacitors, by the looks i've lost 1 of the 16 pairs that run along the connector.
not sure how this happened as i'm super careful when it comes to hardware, end of the day it costs a lot.

Yea this seems like a pretty easy fix - Looks like just a filter caps been knocked off. If the cards working and all you need is that lot fixed and put back on then no problem.
Ship it to Vince, let him take a look he's been fixing stuff for years on here!
Did the card get fixed in the end.Have already contacted and arranging for the card to be shipped to him, true gent he is
