    I have a NVIDIA Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti, I just want to post to say, I personally am not happy with this Graphics cards, I find it to be unstable to most games out now currently as well as some that have been made a few years ago.
    It crashes a lot and and can't handle some games on Low, which is very disappointing.
    Can anyone suggest an alternative or an upgrade to this?

    update the drivers? not a fan of nvidia but that doesnt sound right at all. 560ti should be able to chew through just about anything.

    What is your processor

    Thats a defective card. It happens. Return and Exchange it from wherever you got it. In my experience a lot of GPUs head out defective (from either brand) but most of them you catch on day one - like this case.

    Wouldn't be.

    Thought it was a brand new card not a few months :/ just thinking to myself thats why I left nvidia in the first place. Don't go telling me there are latent duds in their 500 series now too.

    Pretty sure that deals with older cards though. OP you're still in warranty just get it swapped.

    It's a shame, spending 200 on a GPU that crashes and has less FPS than much cheaper versions, My laptop had a nvidia 300 series in it and a PC I had from 2002 ran better and crashed less, in terms of Radeon or XFX etc. what do you think is an equal alternative if they choose to give me a credit refund.

    Addition: Hardwareversand removed the model I have, no doubt due to defects or no demand for them.

    You have/had a defective card.

    A working 560ti will run Skyrim and BF3 no problem at all.
