Yeah, your probably right. Only difference is, I won't buy PNY anymore. Good performing cards, just seem cheaply done.
I have had a PNY GF4MX420 with a rubbing fan, a PNY MX440 with a fan that died in a week give or take a day. A PNY Ti4600 with a fan that rubbed and died in a month even though I corrected the rubbing right away. Just a run of bad luck? Could be, but too much for me. So I look at the eVGA 5900 with the nvidia reference fan heatsink and I feel a little more confident with my purchase. Not to mention the awsome price.
