Yes, the bad fan controller is the issue I refer to and I think it was never resolved. VT's version was a custom fan design hence it had no issues, go figure. Sapphire may still be a good brand but I have a memory like an elephant and move back to trusting companies like a sloth! =) On 3/3/2010 3:08 AM, Thane Sherrington wrote: At 05:20 AM 3/3/2010, Anthony Q.

What do you guys think about XFX HD5770? I have one of their nVidia cards before.

Dell SP2309W's with a native resolution of 248 x 1152. And yeah... just a little oddball, but sweet monitors, especially for the price. -- From: Winterlight winterli...@winterlight.org Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 7:52 AM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Replacement Card - was Re: ATI CATALYST 10.2 10.3 Driver Preview - Final Thoughts and conclusions At 12:49 PM 3/3/2010, you wrote: That's an oddball resolution for a 23 monitor.
