I returned my 5 week old MSI 6950 TF3 to Overclockers as it was running too hot.
They initially said the temps were 'normal' but sent to MSI after I insisted that MSI said it was too hot and they would accept the RMA.
A replacement card arrived today with scratches to the top and bottom of the heatsink shroud, the heatsink was movable on the board and the display is corrupt - see screen grab.
I have cleared out drivers reinstalled new versions and even tried with another copy of Windows, but as soon as the driver switched from a std VGA to the ATI driver the screen corrupts.
I've tried another PCI-E slot etc. ,but this must be faulty - what do you think?
Also do I try to get it replaced via OC or direct to MSI as I hate the RMA procedure / potential costs via OC and don't want another fixed/knackered card.
