Do I need to replace my Radeon 6870?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I am running on an XFX Radeon 6870. I have 3 monitors, 2 24", 1 20". Recently my drivers started crashing and I got an error message "Your display drivers crashed but have been succesfully recovered". My screens would go black for a few seconds, then come back on. Now just in the past week my comp has been shutting off and its been giving me the error message of "Windows must shut down to prevent damage to the hardware". So I am guessing my 6870 just cant handle this, and its time for a new card, is this correct?
If a new card is needed, I am looking at the XFX radeon 6970, will that be able to get the job done on my 3 monitor setup? (Games I play are WoW and Starcraft, not eyefinity.)

I removed my card from my computer, and now I am running my monitor using my motherboards DVI port, and all is going smooth, so it has to be my card. It was an xfx card, so its a lifetime warranty, so im lucky for that.
