I was gonna grab one but I started thinking maybe I should wait for at least 1 review first. Im not a 100% on gigabyte. I went through the reviews on their other 5870 model on newegg and it seemed to have a problem with not idling or something. If it was a sapphire I would have jumped on it as...

Yeah, agreed. Time to get my cred card out...

Sweet. They are starting to show up on newegg. There is no vapor x though. Are you 100% sure thats what you ordered from provantage? They didnt seem to specify it on their listing.

Instead of arguing how having more VRAM can come in handy, why don't you guys explain the performance advantages of having less? Heh. It always seem like there is someone out there trying to convince people that less is better. Im all ears.

Im alright with the prices so long as its not over $600 or something. I personally wouldnt risk dealing with them, but good luck.

LOL, this guy sounds like he has the symptoms of penis envy, only its for computer memory. Why do you care so much? I want a 2gb card mainly for future proofing as I dont plan on upgrading for 3-4 for years after this. With the 2gb cards are on the horizon and only going for $50 or so more, I...

Just fyi, provantage has a C rating and has had 46 complaints. http://www.bbb.org/canton/business-reviews/internet-marketing-services/provantage-corporation-in-north-canton-oh-21000529/#rating Im gonna wait for a more reputable site.

They confirmed thats the Vapor x model? Good to hear if so. I dont know if I would feel comfortable buying from provantage though. Ill have to check their BBB rating.

Hauk and I are just after the same card, but I assure you I am not him.

My review? You are really confusing. Anyway worst come to worst Ill just pick up the 2gb 5870 Matrix. Whatever 2gb 5870 comes out first, actually. No sweat.

Hmm. That anand article dates back to february. They must have changed plans. It was reviewed last week..

What the hell? They pulled the plug on it? Nooooo

That vapor x 5870 is such a sexy looking card. Cant wait to get my hands on the 2gb version. Hope I dont have to wait any longer than the 12th for it to come out. Hopefully it isnt much more expensive though. $50 for twice the memory would be a steal, but I cant go any higher than $100.

Well apparently it's already available at superbiiz.com. I'd like to know why the more well known sites haven't picked it up yet.
