Graphics card problem.

    Hi guys,

    I bought a Gigabyte 560Ti SOC about a year ago. Everything was fine for a while - I was able to play the latest games and all that, but recently something weird has started happening. Sometimes when I would play a really graphically intensive game, it would give me the "Driver has stopped responding" error message and the graphics card would really heat up.

    Now my question is, does this warrant an RMA? I managed to bump the voltage just a tad in order to see if it was getting enough power or not, and it seems like that my stock voltage 1.000v was not enough, I needed to push it to 1.050v in order for it to work properly.

    Should/could I return it? Or is it safe for it to under this voltage setting? I haven't really noticed much of a difference in terms of the temperature (1-2c increase).

    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
