I've got an MSI Nvidia GTX 260 216-core OCV2 GDDR3 896MB video card that has a few issues. I'm not satisfied with my MSI video card, as I am running Windows XP x64, which MSI seems to have neglected proper support.
This video card has had no problems in a Windows Vista x64 or x86 rig, but for some reason, every two weeks my drivers become messed up on XP x64. I have to completely uninstall them and then reinstall them. Then my games are happy again for 2 weeks. I don't believe this is an over-heating issue, as I have several fans and a powerful power supply.
I RMA'D my first MSI Nvidia GTX 260 216-core OCV4 video card, and this is the replacement they sent me. I don't believe they found anything wrong with my last card either, as it experienced the exact same symptoms. Anyway, I have an EVGA GTX 260 192-core video card, and it doesn't have any of these issues in my XP x64 rig. I swear it's just MSI. There is nothing wrong with my MSI GTX 260. No artifacting, just some kind of weird bug in XP x64. I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Can't think of anything to do. Maybe you could help, but I've really tried everything, and I'm not happy with it.
This issue was both present when I ran the GTX 260 by itself in Windows XP x64 and when I had it SLI'd to my EVGA GTX 260 192-core card. The EVGA GTX 260 192 has no problems by itself in Windows XP x64 with any driver release. Such a weird problem, and even an RMA didn't fix the problem. Thus, I'm assuming it's an MSI issue, and you know how awful their customer service truly is.
Anyone have any ideas?
