Here's my issue. I've had to RMA my GTX already because the memory went bad after about a month. The new card they sent me seems to work fine for odd amounts of time. Sometimes it crashes after a minute of Black Ops 2, sometimes I can play for an hour with not the first hiccup. But it isn't just that game. Black Flag crashes constantly, The Witcher crashes constantly. Most of the time the program itself crashes, sometimes the driver crashes. The only constant is that it is always crashing. I know nothing else in the PC is the problem, as I can run all these same games with my old ATI 6870 running in the same setup. So I'm confused. Every incarnation of the driver I have tried still has frustrating crashing problems. I really hope that I don't need to spend yet another $10+ to ship yet another card back, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

From what you mention it highly suggests the card as a problem , did you measure your GPU temps ?
Also needless to say drivers should be the latest.
try measuring your CPU temps too.
try stress testing the gfx card with softwares like furmark , that would give you an idea !
