A few things:
Your PSU might be fucked up. You might have a shit case, with bad airflow, and your graphics card is overheating.
What's your PSU rating, and what company is it from?
Would you mind telling me how to Check The PSU rating and company *?

ah i found what company it is. Its an Extreme Power Duo 650W . the company is coolermaster
If I were you I would check to see if the two power connectors are completely secure. If you have a modular power supply do not forget to check the other end also. If you are still having problems, EVGA is extremely helpful when it comes to returns and have a very good turn around time. You may want to give their tech support a call.
download a temperature checker, like CPUID Hardware monitor (google it)
and post your temps
my GPU is at 41c Idle and it goes up to 60 In TF2 and crysis but only in big firefights and alot of things going on..
Those temps are fine. See if there are new drivers available. If not, reinstall them anyway.
Ive already went to the nvidia site and installed drivers..It was still fucked up..So i got rid of em and went to the EVGA website..got the driver from there...And it still got fucked up. OH and i checked the cables now , & nothing seems to be wrong with them, They are plugged in..correctly :X

Alright well im going to try Tf2 and Crysis..and see if it fixed itself :[
Do you have another PC you can try the card in? Sounds like it may be a hardware issue. You say the "Textures go funny". Can you supply a screenshot? Sometimes the problem can be diagnosed by the type of artifacting.
i cannot get a screen shot because Its only there for a couple of seconds...It flashes once and a while..I tried getting a screen shot in crysis and it just came up Black in paint. And i do not have another pc that i can Install the card on :[ , And the texture thing still happens. The textures go crazy in TF2 and crysis it flashes white on the map ...but only in certain spots.
i just decied to send it to evga. the card was returned to frys twice so i guess same thing happened to the other guys that bought the card..
