Im sure if you google any brand, you'll get people ranting about their card failing. It happens no matter the brand, however xfx has great rma/support.
Thats some useless info, you should stay in system wars.
Anyway, since its instantly shutting off, I would bet on a sudden spike in temp causing it to shut down to save itself. You dont have any other games to try?
[QUOTE="freesafety13"]Although I have a GTX560ti I cannot recommend the 550ti. I recommend getting a 6790, far more performance and an absolute steal at its price. Here is a in depth review of the 6790.freesafety13
How the hell is that good value let alone a "steal"?:?
UHHHHHHHHH........because the 6790 outperforms the 460 768MB for the same price. DUHHHH!!!!!! Read the review Gambler.
Hm I just noticed thats the 6790, I read that as 6970 and dismissed it as too much =P. Now its between that and the 6850 which is quiet a bit more for a bit more power. It does seem a good choice.
whoa o.0 calm down people lol. Anyway I intitally also suggested the 5770 and the 460, but once he heard it was a "last" gen card, he lost interest. Yes, I also know this a terrible reason to overlook those two cards, but hes unreasonable. Anyway I convinced him to up his budget a bit, and he says 1xx. So I guess the 6850 is up his alley. Thanks alot
Also an old Enermax 550w should run it all just fine right?
