Nice! if only I had the money for this and a whole new system... (A Phenom X4 9600BE and 3GB of RAM would severely bottleneck this card IMO)

Just a heads up that this card cannot unlock to a 6970.

 

[GullyFoyle]

In for one. Thanks OP!
Since I run at 1680x1050, 2GB would likely not benefit me. That fact that is has dual fan custom cooling sealed it for me. Just what I have been looking for.
Hopefully this wasn't an error, and they ship it...

Hot for those who don't pay tax. I had to pass since I already own a 2gb unlockable version.

Some claim to have unlocked the extra shaders for this on overclock.net and techpowerup. I ordered one so I'll find out for myself in 2-5 weeks 🙂

Unless amazon cancels my order 🙁.

Deal is dead ATM.

Ordered one as well. If you attempt it can you please keep us updated? Would be awesome if it works!

Mines status just changed to shipping soon and that it should arrive by the 6th or 7th 😀

 

[GullyFoyle]

Mine is now due to arrive between the 8th and 11th.

 

[Avalon]

Yeah, dead now 🙁

How does this card compare to the 4870?

Well if it has the shaders locked then you might as well get it exchanged. Unless you don't care that is.

 

[Gabkicks]

I can't get mines to unlock 🙁 RBE shows it as being set to 6970 shaders, but not GPU-z 🙁

 

[swilli89]

Seriously stop bumping this thread, I keep getting excited for nothing. Deal is dead, let it rest.

thanks to the OP! i ordered this a few weeks back when amazon had it "back ordered'". I just got the email this morning that it had shipped early.Tracking already has it less than 2hrs away.

I love this forum.

Okay. It's definitely doesn't have the build quality similar to my xfx 5850. Also I might have received a dud. The picture is distorted right from the boot screen with static vertical bands. I'm using a 880GA-UD3H motherboard.
What kind of quality control does this company have if they can't test a damn video card before shipping.

Got mine over a week ago and it works amazingly great. No complaints here, especially when I got it for 180 compared to 240?
