I dont think it's so much an issue with the card itself, may be the drivers. It's hard to pinpoint really, the games just been released so who knows what problems they didn't nail before release.
Also no offense, but to blame it souly on the programmers is just wrontg, if you want to blame it on someone, blame it on the companies that force those programmers to put the game out by a certain date, or risk having their liscense for the game dropped.
