TBH I used underhanded tactics to replace at least one card by purchasing a new one &
returning the the old (same model) in it's place knowing the big reseller has more
power than I do getting replacements.
Sapphire went so far as to not commit to sending me a card with the same defect. In
other words I would pay good money to gamble on the replacement. AFAIK they never did
make good on an "bios update" to fix the flaw they copied from the ATI reference
design (which ATI did fix for BBA's).
Is this what the hardware world has come to? Hell even my last gen fat PS3 has issues
with 3-5 random lockups spread over each month!

Day after day, I'm getting more and more confident that I indeed had a

be perfect (not that I've noticed any problems, mind you). I'm not
looking forward to trying to convince HIS that I have a bad card and to
issue me an RMA. The pain of that process almost makes me just want to
take the loss....sad I know...but pain is pain.
