ordered when amazon first had it for pre-order. surprise to see it actually arrived in less than a week. i did have 3 LCD ready to try the 3-monitor set up. *one has to be display port. so far, everything works great, and i cannot wait for the Dirt 2 game to be released. * game coupon is included for free with this. there is another game, battlestation, pacific inside the box. game performance and image quality are much better than my evga 295 boards which cost over $150 more. sapphire is in, and evga is now on ebay...

You can throw pretty much any current game with max settings at it, and this card will give you a smooth experience. While the 295 GTX has a lead in some games, it is by only a couple of frames. As the 5800 drivers mature, this card will likely beat the remaining scores. Also, this card is a lot less costly than a 295. The only precaution to purchasing this card or any of the other 5870's, make sure you have sufficient room in your case. It's long, around 11.5 inches. I had to do a little bit of case modification to get it to fit. Other than that, it's cool, quiet, fast, and DX11 capable.

After installing the card, it worked flawlessly for a couple days. Then I started having cold boot problems where the fan ran very noisy and I got no video display. After 4 or 5 attempts, it usually started up. I contacted Sapphire tech support and ultimately they suggested I need to return it for RMA. Sucks to spend so much for a new card and not have it work for more than a couple days. And, returning it for RMA, I have to pay the shipping.
