While I was waiting for a 7970 RMA to come though as I discussed in the other thread, I went and picked up a good deal on a 290X as the 7970 was by a couple years the most advanced GPU of my 2 machines so in the end both would be upgraded and I would have the 290X to use while waiting on the slllooowww RMA.
Problem I've run across is that I'm getting what looks to be a much more common than I thought trouble with the 290x causing my computer to freeze/black screen on "demanding" 2D sources (heavy flash browser page or youtube videos).
Just started an RMA for the 290X and wondering if any others ere have had the same issue and what's the likelihood that I'm in for a long process till I get a card that works.
