So, little background first... my card came with the metal bracket bent (the tiny part around where the top screw attaches to your case)... no big deal, bent it back into place and installed.
Then my 2nd monitor wouldn't work... so during troubleshooting I unplugged it again and plugged it back in and the monitor came on... but if I loosen it much at all it goes out. It was tight at the beginning.
I tried running 3D Mark and it constantly freezes during the tests... but not a total freeze, the image stops but the FPS counter and all increases until stop the test, but it ends to a black screen. Again, this isn't a total freeze because when I ctrl alt delete I can see my mouse arrow and move it around.
Furmark completes it's benchmark with no issue.
Now I have found numerous threads on the nvidia forums with users complaining of black screens, so I think this may be a result of me experiencing those same issues, so it will be up to nvidia to fix.
I just hope my card didn't arrive physically damage beyond what I easily fixed....
