I usually use gigabyte as I've never had a problem with their cards. However, this card is just bad.

Based on my research and other reviews, seems like the card tends to fail after 3 months of usage.

So far the new EVGA 580 GTX is running like a champ and I haven't had any issues at all.


Also, I did memory and systems tests to debug the original issue (when it first appeared) and everything else in my system is fine.

So, if you are considering purchasing a Nvidia 560 Ti, be wary of the Gigabyte version.
