    Asus 5850 bought as new from Newegg but maybe got one that was returned?

    Newegg is going to replace the card and they agreed to overnight the new one once they get the old one back. Still I will be looking at everything I get now from them a little more closely.

    Yeah thats what I was worried about. I am going to call newegg on Monday. Still I am not happy that they sold me something that wasn't new.

    Asus 5850 bought as new from Newegg but maybe got one that was returned?

    Yeah I knew it was a 5850 because of the shaders. It is an Asus card and I am still trying to get stuff together to bench it. I had it up to 900 on the core earlier and ran furmark for 6 min to see how the heat was and it was hitting 71c with the fan at 80%.

    There was no tape over the tabs and I don't see any residue where tape may have been. The anti static bag was not sealed just folded over and closed with tape.

    Ok I got my 5850 today and when I plugged it in I noticed the default clocks were 850/1200 instead of the normal 725/1000. Think someone may have flashed a 5870 bios on it and returned it?

    Laptop for Wife

    I ordered the Asus and it should be here today. My hp dv1000 died so I needed a replacement. Another thing to consider is the Asus has a 2 year warranty where most others only have a 1 year warranty.

    Crucial is great on rebates, they have the fastest turn around on rebates I've come across. I mailed one in the beginning of December and got it last week.

    BFG 8800GT OC $252 - Best Buy

    Sorry to hear you are having problems with your cards but mine is running fine so far. I am at 735 core 1800 shaders and have rivatuner set to kick the fan to 60% at 65C and 80% at 80C. The card has never reached 80C during any of the benching or gaming I have done so far. I will probably...

Specs are e6600, 2 gig ballistix 8500 tracers, ultra 120 extreme, x1800xt and a 250 gig wd sata hd. There was no way I could change the ram timings because, as I said when I tried to save...

    P5k Deluxe CPU and DDR issues...

    It would be nice to be able to change settings in the bios but everytime I try the machine powers off instead of resetting. After it powers off then it powers back on in a few seconds to a blank screen. Only way to get out of it is shut the power off at the power supply. When I turn it back...
