I want one. Count me in...and for some reason, I bet, I won't notice any problems with drivers, as much as the usual suspects like to perpetuate. Some things never change, lol...I'll report back when I have this badboy in house. Of course, I don't mean the ebay one..
I know, I understand that...and I think it's a great thing. I was referring to the constant bemohning about drivers, especially from those who don't own an AMD card, (same people) all the time, who like to complain for the sake of complaining; It's like VISTA with these people.; and I happen, to think Vista was a good OS. Trust me, I have both vendors cards..I don't pretend one is better than the other in the driver dept..because, I can tell you the last Nvidia drivers suck on BF3..which is the only game I play nowadays. But, I know, it'll be fixed soon, or I can just go back. Also, I haven't had any major driver issues with my other box with a 7970. Nevertheless, it's all good.It's well known that AMD is working on fixes for x-fire to alleviate issues relating to microstutter and such.
LOL...You're funny!My guess is similar performance as the 690, higher power consumption, better price, CF issues galore... 1970s muscle car, louder, hotter, gas guzzler.

You could be right...and I'll admit that. BF3 does have a ton of issues, and it seems like it happened right after that major patch. So, I'll take that back regarding driver issues...Either way, hopefully, the next beta fixes it.I dunno BF3 seems ok to me, the game is bugged though and likes to CTD randomly from MP games, unless that is now fixed. Been a while since I played MP.

So AMD have 4 days to get their drivers sorted?.....leaving it a bit late aren't they?
Now it's up to $2,025.00. Yeah.35 bids and already up to $1,075.00... Bad move on a card that comes without a warranty and obviously from a seller who doesn't care about being on the up and up.
Assuming this model is legit, my guess is that it has a lower core clock than the retail model, especially with the rumors saying that the retail model will have a fairly high clock.WhyCry (in the comments) said:[The seller] said that the retail model would be priced at $1299, but I found that highly unlikely
Maybe AMD's bidding on it so they can find out who broke NDA and ran off with one of their cards. :O
Never thought of that, good thought.
EDIT:
Its at 6k now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
