the card work great for a few day , but my boot time increase to almost 10 minute . eventually my pc start freezing up anytime I try to play any game on my system -lrb- wow , swtor , Skyrim , DC Online -rrb- . trace it back to driver that do not install correctly , so I uninstall , reboot , redownload , and then install they only to have thing go from bad to worse . my system would not load Windows 7 , or would take 15 + minute to actually get to my login screen . it would randomly reboot itself during the Windows start-up , and eventually start boot Windows right into a bsod . the code from the bsod point back to the video card driver , but because of the driver , my system be completely shoot , it will not run Windows past the initial logo screen before it reboot itself or bsod with the same driver error . I can not even boot into safe mode . do a search through various search engine for `` HD 6870 driver issue '' bring up lot of complaint of problem with atus 's driver and a refusal by AMD to even acknowledge it , as every link lead back to they own support forum with complaint about the card and it be driver have be remove . great card , very buggy driver , and a lack of support from AMD force I to send the card back to Amazon for a refund , and leave my pc dead until I replace the hard drive and buy a copy of Wndows . reinstall be not a option due to recent image on that drive that be not backed-up at the time . Live and learn , back up more than once a week . back to Nvidia after use AMD for the last few year .
