I actually purchased a new psu to go with it. The manual in the box recommended a 600 watt minimum, so I purchased a thermaltake 750watt with the card and actually purchases another cooling fan as well to put in my tower.
I now have 2 80 mm cooling fans inside my case (front and back)and 1 120mm on the side. So it never overheated as I also had percision monitoring the temps and mem usage....temp never went higher than 60 degrees celcius, mem usage went to 92% max.
Will find out soon enough I guess, the tech figured it is a driver issue but I disagree, even though it worked (only with a dvi connection not hdmi) with good performance its problems only got worse and more baffling.
The device manager recognizes the card but has that warning icon, within properties it says error code 43. Accessing control panel it then says there is no plug and play device connected and I wont be able to use the card until the issue is resolved.
