i've noticed nobody has any in stock, and I had 2 cards come from newegg get sent back as defective... was there a bad batch released?
 
I never said they were recalling them, I am asking if that's the case, I can't find any in stock, and a pair of mine were DOA... just wondering. Don't panic yet.

I think you already opened the flood gates of panic.
 
Oh the Nvidia folks would be going nuts and we'd all know about it if there was a recall on the 4870 X2 cards. Haha.

And I haven't noticed any grumblings on the boards of abnormally high defect rates.

Probably just out of stock.
 
No word gets the Nvidia and ATI fanboys lathered up like "recall" when it's used in conjunction with one or the other's video cards. :p
 
GG. Panic and hysteria incoming. That said, quality of such products seem to have gone down these past years - we all know about the 3 series' recall, NV's problems. Perhaps this industry needs better regulation like they do w/ cars?
 
Was there a massive recall on the GTX 280s b/c of a couple bad cards that overheated? No, so quit worrying and enjoy your rma'ed 4870x2.
 
I KNEW ATI WAS THE WORST, GOO NVIDIA, j/k

couldn't have said it better myself ^ ^.
 
I got my visiontek 4870x2 from newegg around the end of September. I haven't had any issues to speak of.
 
We would have seen it all over the net. Long stretch from one site not having stock to recall...

Check TigerDirect. No sales tax, but you have to wait at times for the price to be in newegg range.
