    i think you can return it for the same 14 days as if you bought it from the store, sounds like your heatsinks aren't attached right or something

    Only game I've tried was the stress test for Counterstrike Source. At 1920x1200 maxed everything it got 108 FPS average. GTA IV is a beast from everything I've heard, but if you're overheating the GPU will slow down to compensate and kill your frame rate. What temps have you been getting? You might try hwmonitor from cpuid.com to monitor all the important temps while running a game and see what they look like.

    which temp is that? CPU? GPU ussually gets a lot hotter than that (70-80 under heavy load isnt uncommon)

    55C has to be CPU, no way it could be GPU while gaming.
