I've had this current setup working on windows 8 and 7. Sometimes though (right now) the thing will not get passed the win7 / 8. Boot animations with the gfx driver installed which causes me to F8 Back to previously working state.
I reformated one of my drives (IDE) until it basically died trying to solve this problem, I'm on another fresh format of win7 x86 atm to see if I can get it running.
I've tested serveral mobo configurations my old processor, 3 hard drives. So far can't get into windows sometimes with this card.
about a week ago I plugged the card into my friends MSI DDr3 SLI rig, then back into mine and it worked for 2 boots and 24 hours split into 2 of Dirt3, Borderlands 2 Fully updated+all DLC's and several other dx11 / dx9 games. Running at very impressive speeds 1440x900 High Detail.
There is possibly a leaking capacitor on it? Some spatter I didn't notice when I received the card on the bottom or flux left overs? Still I've had it run games fine with it existing this way.
GPU-Z on windows... Driver isn't actually installed just detecting the files on my HDD which I uninstalled with F8 - Use last known good config -
