Gigabyte's GTX 560...

[owen]

Hey guys, I noticed that a lot of people were having crashes on BF3 due to Gigabyte's card and I was one of them. I see posts where people say up the voltage, under clock the card, etc. DO NOT DO IT! JUST RMA THE CARD!!!

I even had my first fail GTX 560 TI OC card replaced with another and I had the same problem (had to under clock to play).

I then sent that back and now have a  MSI GTX 560 TI OC and it works perfectly. Don't stress out people it's your GPU!

And Gigabyte's website & support is utterly terrible; not only is the driver download section terrible, if you manage to find the BIOS for your GPU it doesn't even let you flash it!

Bye bye Gigabyte..

Very tempted to do the same, I can't stand this card at the moment but I'm still waiting for them to release something that will ACTUALLY WORK.

It's just the voltage that is the problem why it keeps crashing on BF3.
Increase the voltage on your GPU.
The problem on this 560Ti on BF3 is that it crashes due to unstable voltage. Try it see if it works coz it works for me before.

Anyway you already replaced it with MSI... so good for you

Most of the time a slight increase in voltage does seem to do the trick. I cannot disagree with the OP and say don't RMA the card but that doesn't really get you far often and you have all the hassle of returning it etc. Surely it is easier to just make a tweak

Yes, but even if you RMA the card, and end up getting a new one...
If the problem is the instability of the factory OC, there's a good chance you're just going to get another faulty card.

You'd think Gigabyte would want to be releasing stable OC's, not ones that crash and burn.

I totally agree. The trouble with these big companies is they are slow to change anything. Hopefully they will get the firmware fixed and everything will run ok then.
