And about your throttle issue, are you overclocked, or stock when this occurs?
If your overclocked the driver will throttle the card down when it detects problems, i.e. your overclock is not stable. This is the norm.

If this is happening on stock, you may want to RMA, or I hear nvidia will have forceware 260.xx out today, try that if your still throttling on stock you have problems. FYI the card will throttle on less intensive 3d apps/games to save power, but absolutly not on furmark, unless there is a problem, i.e overclock too high, temps too high, or defective.
Of course it is when overclocked...
OK great, now it makes sense.

One last thing, is there some way to figure out if the memory or the core has cause the problem when furmark fails or when you have this throttling?

Because I think my core is stable at 846 and my memory can pass Vantage at 2270, yet its not furmark stable there, so I was trying to lower it to find where I can pass furmark with 846/2xxx , and I keep getting errors after 2 hours for example and I have gone down to 2050 memory now which seems too far off from what vantage is stable at, so I wonder if maybe the core is not 100% stable but rather 98% and that brings the error after 2 hours and not the memory...
