I've done one VGA RMA with Asus. It took 2 -3 weeks before I got my replacement card back. They do have a reputation of not being the easiest to contact. If warranty support is the most important criteria, I'd buy an eVGA card.

Well, it was definitely Firefox 4. After downgrading to 3.6 I've had no issues. As for the card itself, I like it. It's quiet, at idle the fan runs at ~ 1000RPM and at load ~ 2500RPM. The compact size made installing it in my mid tower case much easier. Performance wise, it's as fast or...

Hmm interesting I didn't know of that bug. I am using Firefox 4, I'll try uninstalling and going back to 3.6

Nope, running a single monitor

Got mine a few days ago, but I'm having a strange problem. According to GPU-Z, the GPU load gets stuck at 100% even when I'm not doing anything. Right now I have only a web browser and GPU-Z open, but GPU-Z shows 100% GPU load, voltage and clocks at their 3D values, and temperatures in the mid...

Prices are a bit disappointing. I figured ~ $1.60 a gig would be standard for the G3s, but the 40GB 80GB and 120GB are no cheaper than the G2s.

The MSI 6850 Cyclone PE is a good option. It has a two way fan switch with silent and performance modes. It's also factory overclocked to 860mhz/1100mhz, which puts it only 5 - 10% behind a stock 6870. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/HD_6850_Cyclone_Power_Edition/27.html It's ~ $175...
