My Card...

EVGA 570GTx
Just got it last week.

I have already tried everything you listed.

I just pulled the card and put my old one back in and it works perfectly, although much slower...

I'm going to simply return this card and get a new one ASAP...

Good thing EVGA has lifetime warranty!

I do not think a week would necessitate needing a lifetime warranty.

Cain, grab the EVGA OC Scanner.

Once installed, run it and click 'start gpu stress test'.



Now watch the 'artifacts scanner' section and hope all the stats stay as 0.

This is the test that confirmed my GPU issues a few weeks back, which i'm still finding odd that they only happen when using the VGA port.

Need to figure that one out someday when i'm feeling a little better.

Some games can be more graphically stressful that others. Which in turn shows the cards weaknesses and more often.

This is why it's good to test the card with something like OC Scanner as the tests it performs are very taxing on the GPU, and if anything will show problems, this will.

It is strange that its this one game though. Which games did you try Cain?

I mentioned earlier that EVGA was having issues with the 570's. Might try another brand. Or return it and try your luck with another one. Let us know what you decide.

By the way- not sure if anyone isn't aware of this, but when you RMA your card, it will be replaced with a REFURBISHED one. They never send you a new card unless it came DOA. So like Warhead had sent in his 280 to be replaced twice and still ended up with a third dead one in a few months. 280's were crap but I'm pretty sure it drove him away from gaming. So... get ready to go through a nice journey of replacements, unless you're lucky- from the snapshot I'd say you aren't

Cain go post a similar thread on the EVGA forums, this issue may be due to the latest drivers and older drivers may help the issue.

You can also call their tech support, you paid a bit more for EVGA so get oyur $$ worth.

here is a thread I just ran across over there.
