My 480 just gave up the ghost and I need something cheap to push my HDTV. I have the 610 1gb from my TVPC that I've put in as a bandaid, but it's just a touch out of it's league. So while the 480 is in for RMA should I...

A) Shut up and deal for acouple weeks if they accept the RMA.
B) I have an old 4850 that does wonky things to my active display, but ran flawlessly on a friends PC as a Crossfired GPU. Should I get another 4850 off eBay and run crossfire?
C) Grab a GTX750, can't quite afford a Ti atm.
D) Send every one on the FS/FT Forum 100 dollar offers on their Titans and 780s.
 
I have a 560ti msi twinfroz if u need anything. Has been sitting in my empty pc case for a while. thing is, it comes with mini hdmi port.

Meh, so did my 480, but frankly, if I'm going to buy something, I'd like to atleast be comparable to my 480.

I'd be willing to donate the difference between a 750 and 750ti cause from a nerd perspective I'm interested in the performance difference between the two considering the massive difference in power usage.

Heh, I appreciate the offer, but I'm not looking for hand outs. It's really just a, "Wow gaming on this 610 BLOWS." I'd like to grab something now to hold out. If all else fails, I could "borrow" a card from my shop, but then I have to sell it open box.
 
I've done the oven trick before on cards that are out of warranty. This card is still covered, so I'm doing it the right way. They received the card yesterday though, so hopefully they'll be shipping out within the week.
 
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Card came back Tuesday. Worked all that night. Came home yesterday just to have my system blue screen out with a TDR error. Now I gotta RMA the damn thing again!
 
D, cause its funnier that way. No really, I'd limp along until try RMA comes through.

Double check your voltages from your PSU. Are they all within acceptable range??
 
Oh yeah, my PSU is fine. Just about spot on the 12v mark under load with 75ish mv of ripple. Not great, but well within spec. Just a shitty card.
