Buyer Beware: NVIDIA 7900 series cards and overclocking, not a good mix
Looks like the vendors (BFGtech, XFX and EVGA) that sell these cards and overclock them are seeing a higher than normal RMA rate. This is primarily because of the cards are failing to some degree. The reason is quite simple: These cards are not made to go that fast.
So, if you’re an owner of a factory overclocked BFGtech, XFX and EVGA 7900 series video card and it isn't acting right (i.e. - random freezes or artifacting) rest assured knowing you’re not crazy. It’s the card, not you. So put away your anti-psychotic medication and put on your reading glasses.
