Card is rampant with trouble
Pros: When it works. . it . . works?
Cons: I've gone thru 3 cards of this brand now. (I originally bought 2 for two seperate computers) First card nearly caught on fire (smoked) the first 10 minutes of use. The 2nd card works but operates SUPER hot (I Live in alaska and normally heat is NOT a problem but it is for this card!) and the 3rd card locks up randomly all the time. I upgraded from a GTX285 and didnt have lockups and the card that runs hot rarely locks up (by hot I mean it floats near 90deg celsius) . But this 3rd card locks up constantly.
Overall Review: I don't know if it's the GTX570 ingeneral that is troublesome or if it's this specific PNY model. I am going to try to see if I can get a store credit for this 3rd carda nd pick up a different brand name.
