Never again will I buy from EVGA I have been using their video cards for at least 10 years and they used to make great products. My first GTX 460 had problems from day one after a year of head aches and constant driver re-installs I RMA'ed it only to get another defective GTX 460. The first GTX 460 was confirmed by EVGA's tech that the video card was bad and the replacement one they sent died after 4 months. I am not going to go through the RMA process again just to receive another bad GTX 460. I ordered a competitors GTX460 as a replacement and should be here tomorrow. Sorry Evga but I can't throw $260.00 in the trash and hope your replacements will fix the problem when you send out defective video cards. Before you fan boys start blaming me or my computer go troll elsewhere. My PC is fine, and my driver installation process is the same as EVGA advises.

I would of bought a GTX 560 but IMO they are still to expensive.

So you spent $200 in lieu of RMA'ing the second card? If you have to RMA that Asus don't expect better service.
It's unfortunate you got two bum cards. At least RMA the second card, test it, then sell on fleabay to recoup some cost... good luck.

Not to rub salt, but if you had looked a bit you'd see that you could have had a GTX560 Ti for less than you paid for that GTX460: http://www.newegg.com/Pro...x?Item=N82E16814162074 $224.99 before $40 rebate = $184.99

Well maybe us "fanboys" should point out that all reference Nvidia cards are pretty much the same. You're paying for customer service and support. I'm sorry that you've had bad luck with your GTX 460's but there are many of us who havent had any issues.
You tell us that your PC is not at fault but have you tested the card in another computer? We can help you troubleshoot it.

Just got my Asus GTX 460 and man is it cool! I am happy with my purchase and will never look back. EVGA customer service is top notch and I will give credit where credit is due. After two hardware failures I feel more comfortable moving on. Thanks for the advice. Peace!

You should still consider a second RMA and request shipping assistance.
