Diamond HIS powercolor etc.. if these cards are failing visiontek is doing something they aren't. and yes I have renamed furmark so i get double the frames and stress it as much as possible.
Mine have never died while pushing them. They die when trying to come on. Strange. It was fine all day yesterday was playing some COD4, RS vegas 2. Shut her down. Today the card was dead, no more posty, ever. Just like that. My other one did the same thing, just up and randomly died. You better knock on wood so you dont have them all die on you tomorrow

Picked up the GTX 260 from the FS forums here today.
