great while it lasted

On paper, this card had a little more going for it with solid capacitors and over clocked, plus $10 less to boot. I have an MSI mobo and have no complaints... same military grade build etc. So I had to get a new power supply for I plan to upgrade the CPU soon too, and this card potentially uses 50% more power at peak than the outgoing hd5670. From the get go I had one long and two short beeps when booting; bad video card signal from the mobo. I swapped everything I could, and using an older monitor was the only way to boot. Updated bios and drivers without success. RMAd...will try same 260x from another manufacturer. When working I ran bf4 and need for speed most wanted on all medium and maximum settings respectively while maintaining 40 to 60+ fps.
