Players experiencing unexpected crashes in high population areas or instances who use a 660 TI: the problem may well be your card. A friend at work bought one (which he told me are now off the market) a while back and every one of his games crashed constantly. By order of elimination he found out it was the GPU and nothing else. He called Nvidia to ask about what the problem was, they told him that it was a hardware related issue and that no driver update could fix it. Some cards are broken like this, some are not, after looking online he found tons of people with the same card have the same problem with most games. Anyways on his end, he returned the card, got a Radeon 7880 and has had no problems since. Quite unfair if you ask me but what can you do (except RMA)

Was it 660tis or 670s that were released unstable@stock clocks/voltage? I remember that it was one of them, and usually a 13 mhz underclock would fix the issue.
