(More customer reviews)Death in the Line of Duty
-------------------------------------
To start, even though this card is dead and Amazon won't accept a return, I in no way
blame Amazon for this fiasco, as the card was manufactured by XFX, not Amazon. I do however
have some choice words for XFX as the only replies I have received from them look like they were
written by a fifteen year old with no tech knowledge.The Card
------------------------
running the 5970 in an Antec 900
with an overclocked i7 920 (3.2 GHz)
and a ocz 700w power supply.
When this card performed, it did so admirably, pumping out massive performance that dominated
every game I threw at it including the currently (in my mind) best looking game Metro 2033, and
yes, before you ask, it can play Crysis!+Crysis- 1920 X 1080 with everything maxed = 55 fps average.
+Metro 2033- 1920 X 1080 with everything maxed = 39-42 fps average.
+World in Conflict 1920 X 1080 with everything maxed = 80-110 fps average.
-Average Temps before death at 38 % fan speed: 38c at idle.
-Average Temps before death at 50 % fan speed (loud but I use headphones) 60c at high load.So as you can see this card is blazing fast, and requires less power and produces less heat
than two physically cross-fired 5870s. So if you are looking for insane performance with surprisingly
forgiving power requirements,(eat your heart out GTX 480!) then look no further than the 5970.Conclusion
-------------------
I didn't think it was fair to rate this card low so I give the card itself a 4/5
but I think XFX should be ashamed of their support, so XFX gets a 2/5.
So buyer now you are at a crossroads. You know you want the blazing, steamy performance this card can
bring, but should you get it from XFX? Well that's up to you. Maybe my situation is a-typical of XFX's
customer service, but I feel that in recent years XFX has dropped the ball in the service department.
Well I'm off to once again try and initiate the RMA process, but so far I'm being given the run around.
Overall this is a great card as long as it doesn't run into any problems, because XFX won't be there for
you.
