Working ATI replacement for this?

Hello all,

Around Christmas I finished my first build, 4gb RAM, i3 Dual CPU, PCI-E2.0 - All the nice stuff.
But it appears that the problem child of the operation is the graphics card. It's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Series, dual fans, and from what I've seen from it it is very powerful. But the problem is stability, and NVIDIA's drivers. They just don't work. This is a major problem with 8/10 460 series users, and it doesn't look like NVIDIA are feeling to fix this issue.
And so my question is, could I return this card to OCUK and get an ATI replacement instead? I'm hardly willing to go back to NVIDIA anytime soon. Also, if I did get an ATI, which would you recommend? I need one around the same level and price, I don't mind going slightly over budget (£10, etc.).
So can I send it back? It has a 3 year warranty, but I don't knowif this affects anything...

Thanks i advance,
Abilitiy
 
How old is it?

Outside of a year old it is down to the manufacturer to sort out, who will probably just offer you a replacement card but only if the card is found to be faulty - I doubt driver issues will be considered a fault as such, especially if they do not affect everyone.

Inside of a year, they may allow you to do it, but again, if the card it's self isn't actually faulty, they are under no obligation to replace it, let alone offer you another card.
 
Ocuk will never do that. Sell it and get another card or send the mobo and the card together for rma and you will be given a card that works with your mobo
 
Doubt it they'd test each individually if bought individually and find them working... there are some issues with the 460 and certain motherboards but its certainly not 8/10 users.
