My 1.5 year old 970 GTX is giving me random lock up issues since I bought it. I pinpointed it to my GPU, I can get away with gaming for hours before locking up if I run fans at 100% and keep temps below 50C.
Now I need to send this ASUS card back for warranty and will have a few weeks downtime. lock ups screwing up my online gaming.
The problem is right now I got nothing to do but game and just starting playing overwatch which I'm kind of addicted.
So what do you guys do when you need to RMA your card?
Should I consider buying a 1070 GTX, and selling the 970 GTX when it comes back from warranty? I can buy a 1070 for $350-400 and hopefully sell my 970 for $150-175.
Just looking for some thoughts or advice on the issue. Hopefully some of you can understand that 3-4 weeks RMA with ASUS won't be fun without a video card.
