How does that look with low settings?
Initially very impressive but there's still a distinct jaggedness to the lines, particularly noticeable on the upright pieces of those metal fences where the video starts to "shimmer" as it passes them. I played it on 'ultra' as well and other than the expected difference in FPS it appeared to be identical in appearance with the same issue. frown

Video it on your mobile so we can see what you see, as your screenshots look fine.

Definitely a goosed GPU I think now. I ran the FurMark stress test and mine was close to cooking itself at 89 degrees with the fans going full chat yet my mate with an older and much lower spec GTX 660 can run the same test on his (also lower spec) PC and it only reaches 61 degrees with only a slight increase in fan speed. He is also running W7 on his machine with an Asus matte AG coated 24" screen and there is absolutely no aliasing or jagged egdes/blurry text at all - the complete opposite of mine. We had planned to compare them side by side and swap out his GTX 660 and try it in mine, but on top of all the problems I've been having, the PSU (Corsair CX750) has now failed and it won't even power up. Really at the end of my tether with this bullst now. Last time I buy anything from CCL that's for sure.

It'll be interesting to see how CCL will deny there's nothing wrong with it this time. rolleyes
