Hello,
I bought a B-Stock GTX 260 from EVGA about a year ago, and it worked perfectly up until recently. About two weeks ago I was playing Assassin's Creed, and the game froze, crashed, and my computer restarted. Ever since then I can't do any gaming without intense artifacts and crashing within a few second. What's going on? Do I need a new video card?

It came with a one year limited warranty (which expired a few months ago). I paid about 90 bucks for it. Is it worth seeing if they'll repair it, or should I join the market for a new card?
