Hello, I just bought the card in the title from Amazon and it arrived May 8th. I had no problems installing it or getting drivers, etc. I have been having a few issues though. First I got a few nvidia driver crashes that show up in the event viewer if I go look. After two of those, I downloaded EVGA Precision and put the power to 124%, and I then overclocked it just a little bit. CPU temp target is at 85C with GPU clock +75 MHz and Mem Clock at +50 MHz. I then did not have driver crashes but persisted with newer issues.
I suspect it to be an overheating problem as of now. My monitors will turn off but my audio still comes through, that happened a few times. Today I had it happen a little differently. My left monitor with google chrome open just went black. My middle monitor with WoW running froze, so did right monitor with skype video call going on. My mouse and audio inbound and outbound were still functional and I could see the mouse moving on screen and changing when I hover over something.
