For the last several months i have had many problems with my card and tried many things. The problems i am experiencing are i believe commonly related to TDR but may go beyond this.
During games my graphics card will either crash and return causing a black screen for 3-5 seconds, crash and not come back up leaving the last displayed frame on screen, or create a blue screen of death relating to TDR issues.
I have attempted updating all of my drivers and bios, clean install of my gpu drivers,using a different gpu and taking my gpu in to the store i bought it at. the other gpu experienced no problems, the store refused to replace it as they could not find anything wrong with it.
I really don't want to mess around with the voltages and clocks so this is my last hope.
Thanks, Sam

If a different Graphics Card worked fine then your card is almost certainly defective.
It might possibly be your Power Supply but if the other card was a 660Ti or better and worked it's not your Power Supply.
Not sure why the store says it worked though.
I'm pretty sure the card is defective but I don't know how to help you further.

PSU should be good, but might try a different one (if you don't have one might see if you can borrow from a friend to test with)...another possible is DRAM, you show 4x$GB was this a single package you bought or did it come in two different packages, if so may be slight incompatibilities, what is the actual model number(s)

can download furmark here:
http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
download it, install, then run it, might want an app like GPU Temp running to watch temps, can get that here:

I'm at a loss of what to do. i cant rma it because its on warrenty and i cant use the warrenty because they say there is no problem. the problem isnt likely with my computer specifically because there was no hardware or driver change and i cant take them my whole rig either. Is there anything left i can do? is it maybe related to my tRFC being stuck so low?

The only thing i would see as having changed it would be the dram voltage and cycle timings but why sould that affect the graphics card and why so long after having installed it?Intermittent problems can be horrible to troubleshoot.
Could it be your DDR3 memory?
Yes. Many errors can relate back to that as that's the data that gets sent to your CPU to run, which then gets forwarded to your graphics card so if you get any errors in that strange things can happen.
However if you repeatedly get video card specific issues it sounds like the graphics card. Stable for now, but you can try the following:
1) Confirm DEFAULT CPU and RAM settings (I know you said you did)
2) run MEMTEST www.memtest.org for at least 10 minutes, but at some point OVERNIGHT
3) run Prime95
4) run Prime95 while also running any video benchmark (that's about as stressful and hot as things can get)
* www.ultimatebootcd.com
This is an awesome disc image with many tools including Memtest. I haven't tried the VRAM test but it might be worth trying as well. If in doubt of burning app use IMGBURN as it can burn a CD image to DVD which many programs won't due.
Other:
Install WINDOWS if the error comes back to a SPARE DRIVE if possible. like this:
a) Unhook all HDD's and SSD's except for the spare drive
b) Install Windows, Microsoft Updates, Motherboard Main chipset driver, other drivers etc... but DO. NOT. ACTIVATE. WINDOWS.
c) Install and run Furmark (no point in trying anything else)
If the problem starts happening frequently again, but reinstalling Windows solves the issue then it may be a software issue.
Have you completely eliminated the POWER SUPPLY as a potential problem?
No.
For the same reason it could be your video card, it could also be your power supply. An intermittent issue with insufficient or out-of-tolerance power can cause a card to fail.
It could also be the MOTHERBOARD, but in terms of hardware my MOST likely to LEAST likely is:
1) Graphics Card
2) Power Supply
3) Motherboard
4) DDR3 memory (memtest is nearly 100% conclusive though).
