 I'll be sure to let you know.

cool.
because you might have a few of them a bit nervous as well...lol
 
your at 345 points now, but benching something like that..would put you up in the 500 points category.

side note:
you kind of have a lot of people waiting to see...

 
Other than me? 
 
Just had a near death experience. Was flying space combat on an old star wars game, not even with the GPU OC'd and it started throwing our artifacts like crazy, then the driver crashed. Artifacts were still there, so I restarted, and they're gone now.. I don't want a 480, so hopefully it's okay.

to be honest halo...there is nothing wrong with a 480. and it plays dx11. so it's not a loss going from a 295 to that.
 
the 295 had it's day in the sun...quite a few of them i might add, but now.... a 480 is a long way from going backward my friend...

True but I'd have to get another block then. lol fortunately people have them cheap so I wouldn't have to pay retail ideally. Gonna run Furmark for a bit and pray.

the transition wont be a hard one. it just might take a few days...but if the card was bad and they said they were upgrading you...then that's when you would buy the block or blocks as well. and a 480 can run pretty high on clocks on just air. just dont over due the mem clocks is all.
 
as for furmark... if your trying to break the card...sure...run furmark for hours on end...
 
i would check for leaks on the card myself.

Fortunately I have an EAR on this card. 
 
If I end up RMAing and getting a 480 I'll pick up an EK Nickle block probably.
 
Gonna run furmark for 5 minutes, then give it 5 loops of vantage, 3 of heaven, etc.
Leaks are a negative, temps were around 40C. Didn't red light, it's seated fine, not sure why it would have done that other than it's dying.
 
Edit: After Furmark it's still okay.

My 480 can run 900-925 core and 1100-1125 mem on cold air for benching. And that was at 1138mv, it's max v in AB; and it's max temps were 38*C. It needs moar voltz!!! Based on the bot, that is pretty good for a card on air. I just wish i had a Sandy B*tch or 990x to run with it on ln2 to get some nice points.

Good to know that 295 is still kicking.
