So a few weeks ago I bought an Asus 670 DCU II Edition to compliment my new Overlockable Catleap Q270 120hz 1440p monitor. The card worked fine when I received it. Coming from a 480 it was a huge upgrade. I was running BF3 between 80-100 FPS with mostly everything on Ultra @ 1440p 120hz. Then one night while I was owning at BF3, my screen froze up. The sound started looping and my system crashed. When I started it again I had no video output from the video card. Tested it in another system and I quickly determined that the card had died. Threw my 480 GTX back in and it worked fine. I called Asus the next day and sent it in for an RMA. This is where it gets icky.
About a week later I got the card back, same exact card, popped it in my computer; nothing. Same problem, the fans spin but no video output. I called Asus again, furious this time. The lady on the phone told me she would do an advanced RMA. I would receive a shipping label in an email within 48 hours and once they confirmed I shipped the broken card back they would ship me a new one. Well that was almost two weeks ago. I've called every two days since then and get the same answer: "We are testing a card and you will get an email within 48 hours". I've played phone tag for over an hour trying to talk to someone who could actually help me, but I always end up getting disconnected or get the same answer "48 hours". At this point I can only hope I get a working card sometime this year.
After all this I can't say I would recommend anyone buy an Asus product. I can't speak for other manufacturers, but ASUS's RMA process is hell. I'm going to post this on several different message boards just to make people aware of the trouble they might have to endure.
