Hi everyone,
My Gigabyte GTX 470 OC, finally died.
One thing I DON'T want is another card from Gigabyte, towards the end of my warranty I sent the card in for repair, they sent it back with the same problem. I contacted them and mailed it in again and they replaced it. One week out of warranty it started doing the same thing, overheating to 90c to around 100c fan would go crazy and my computer would lock up and freeze while playing games. Not even intense games! They told me they wouldn't replace it out of warranty, which to me is ridiculous since I'm still close to when it ended and it's a replacement card. I did some Googling and it seems that this card was just poorly designed, I saw posts from others with similar problems. Very disappointing for a card I paid $400 for,
I'd like to have a better performing card (just a step up would be nice) and stay under $200 if possible. I want to stick with Nvidia. Ideally it'd be nice to have something that runs cooler and is less power hungry and definitely has a better warranty.
Hopefully I'm being realistic, hahaha.
