Which upgrade - December 2013 / Spring 2014

[Selachi]

The card arrived on Monday, and I sent it back this morning as I've had nothing but black screens from it constantly. Desktop, Chrome, System Index, Skyrim menu, Hearthstone menu. Tried release drivers (13.2) and beta drivers (14.1).

Any ideas on a decent card that isn't riddled with errors?

Think you jus received a bad card.
The nvidia equivalent is the GTX 780.

Just make sure you have updated the bios firmware

Really? Reckon it's worth buying the same card again? Seem to be a hell of a lot of people with the same issue out there.

Gibbo said recently that return rates were about the same, around 5%, for both camps high end graphics cards. Not sure what the criteria were that was based on though, I'll try to find the post...
