jmccraw,
I recall your past skirmishes w/Sapphire. Was why I wrote them off my
possible choice list! I chose branded-ASUS ATI video cards(2). So far so
good. But I remain ansy to replace them still.
Thank you for your mini-war. Your results suck, but some of us do
appreciate your battles and loss.
Best,
Duncan

TBH I used underhanded tactics to replace at least one card by
purchasing a new one & returning the the old (same model) in it's place
knowing the big reseller has more power than I do getting replacements.
Sapphire went so far as to not commit to sending me a card with the same
defect. In other words I would pay good money to gamble on the
replacement. AFAIK they never did make good on an "bios update" to fix
the flaw they copied from the ATI reference design (which ATI did fix
for BBA's).
Is this what the hardware world has come to? Hell even my last gen fat
PS3 has issues with 3-5 random lockups spread over each month!

Day after day, I'm getting more and more confident that I indeed had a
bad card. This card seems rock solid, even though the driver may be not
be perfect (not that I've noticed any problems, mind you). I'm not
looking forward to trying to convince HIS that I have a bad card and to
issue me an RMA. The pain of that process almost makes me just want to
take the loss....sad I know...but pain is pain.
