XFX's RMA department is awesome. Had a fan go bad on me last week and they're already sending my card back now! Awesome.

If you look at the history of it probaly not immediately. When the 6970/6950 the 5970 was still the flagship and stayed the same price and ended up going up for a little bit. I think that AMD has found their perfect segments with the 6950/6970/6990. Doesn't stop the 6990 from being expensive...

I went out and bought a GTX580 and Nvidia 3D glasses just to see what all the hubbub was all about and I was left unimpressed and with a headache. The glasses kill the immersion for me, but I can sort of understand why people go crazy for it because Metro 2033 was pretty freaky. I specifically...

I don't disagree with you at all man. I actually agree with you but do you really think that we will see a 7950 by June? Why? 6950 selling well, 6970 selling good, 590 bumping A/C sales. I just get frusturated with the "soon comment", maybe giving the OP the idea it will come out next month.

I'm not going to get into a pissing match about release dates but when someone says soon I think soon refers to a month maybe 3. So telling someone to skip on a 6950 because it's coming out "soon" is silly. As for the thread, that I read, that's like saying iPhone came out a few months ago I...

Do you mean 5870? 5970?

I think you nailed it correctly by testing it on a different computer to rule out your motherboard and PSU. I had a similar problems back in the day with my old Nvidia card and it ended up being the motherboard the whole time.

I agree, I'm the same way I skip reboots with CCC installs. Seems so primitive.

Seems like with the XFX and Sapphire's this won't be possible anymore. :(

lol are you serious? Did you read?

Knowing the performance and price difference I don't understand how anyone could buy a Nvidia card. Unless you're running 3D vision why would you buy a Nvidia card?

I recently went through the same debate recently and I ended up deciding on the MSI for two reasons. 1. I noticed that if someone posted a doa card, which happens, MSI responded on newegg and that impressed me. (I know seems stupid but they cared enough to respond) 2. MSI seems to have...

May be a dumb question but you're running the newest CFX profiles right? With my 5970 I was getting 70 fps in bad company 2 and I updated the catalyst CFX profiles, hadn't ever dl them, and they jumped to 140fps on a single monitor.

are you insinuating that AMD is relevant in processors??? :rolleyes:
