Graphics card upgrade/replacement

[Blackspur]

I purchased an MSI 560Ti and had no end of problems with it, so I went back to the store and got a replacement and still the same problems (Crashing under load), I have read on a few forums that it is a fundamental problems with the MSI n560GTX Ti and the Gigabyte equivalent. My first question is whether anyone else has experienced these problems or not. And my second would be what card should i opt for instead anything of up to £250. Thank in advance for any help.

I'd say if two cards are giving problems that it is NOT the cards fault and most likely another hardware or software issue interfering. Which would mean that a new card would have a high chance of making the issue appear like before.

Like I said though I took it back to the shop and they also found the problem on there test rig, i'm also going to take this second card back for testing just to be sure that it is not a problem on my end.

How did they test it though? If it was a store like Best Buy then they didn't do any form of stress testing lol.

Its a shop called Overclockers.co.uk they are a specialist PC shop. I explained my problem and they tested it on there test bench and found a problem with the card. After the second one failing i decided to browse some forums and found one on the Nvidia forums and many people had the same problem and it seems to be a problem with the overclocked versions of the 560Ti, either Gigabyte or MSI.
