    Errr XFX, what does that mean?

    Thank you for your time! The analysis came and the card was found to be not faulty, but it didn't surprise me. The card was working on and off performing flawlessly for a week and later crashing spectacularly. Thankfully XFX decided to still replace the card given the description I had...

    Errr XFX, what does that mean?

    Hey thanks! I have been talking to him as he helped me issue the RMA, but I am hoping he will be able to shed some light on what happened here and explain just what it was. The card was packaged with 4 layers of jumbo bubble wrap, packed with air bubble packaging bags inside, and included...

    Errr XFX, what does that mean?

    I RMA'd my card and they got it on tuesday of this week. Half a day later, I went to see the RMA status, and it is already listed as rejected (I believe) and I haven't even been contacted to know why? I do not know of REJ QTY does mean rejected, but I find it strange it was rejected 4...

    XFX Support abandonment?

    True, he offered to help, but I am sure he has work to do as well so I have not received a reply from him after he offered to RMA my card in Mexico. I am not in a hurry, for some reason my card stopped failing which is incredibly strange, but I would only dare to call that intermittent fails...

    XFX Support abandonment?

    Is this normal? XFX sent me troubleshooting steps for an RMA I am trying to process for a card with intermittent failure and stopped replying altogether.. I find it weird as I mentioned on my first claim that I had already performed certain steps.. which they asked me to perform again before...

    Progressive death of GPU?

    Thank you for your recommendation. It makes me think the PSU on the computer I built may have delivered improper voltage to it as the issues started shortly after being on that new computer. I did forget to mention the card makes a whirr noise before the corruption occurs. It may be an...

    Progressive death of GPU?

    You know, you got a point. I never did see VRM temps during testing, but the card will start failing under the following circumstances: Temperature: 70C GPU use: 85% The corruption can be two ways, the screen will take the color of the most predominant texture on the screen at the time...

    Progressive death of GPU?

    It was overclocked only once for a test when I first got it (back in Novemeber '13), but I didn't get any improvement on performance so I set it to stock. The overclock was 1020 and 1520 for core and memory respectively. Other than the single day, no.

    Progressive death of GPU?

    Hmm, I would have thought so, but then again, the drivers installed before the final leaps of the card were the 14.4 WHQL drivers.

    Progressive death of GPU?

    So this is what occurred in the last unfortunately days: My sisters fiancee asked me to build him a computer to play League of Legends and the Elder Scrolls Online without any flinch. So I decided to build him a compact i5 3470 system with a Matx asus board with an h87 chip, 8gb of kingston...
