Wizzard posted that in the poll thread, but yeah maybe a mod should come in and clean all those threads up, combine some usefull data and drop all the rest.Quote:

@Bill_d Maybe their pcb isn't the same?
I'd say that this outcry of cards collapsing is a bit premature. A lot of reported bricks were due to user error in flashing the BIOS. I have one coming in by July 3rd .... lets see how it goes. ;)
Yeah nade you're coming in pretty late with that newsflash :rofl:
this sort of thing happens. a lot of people were screaming about Wolfdales degrading after two days' use when they first came out, too. turned out to be false. we can all be happy that this has a happy ending though. big thanks to W1zzard for working on a sunday to help those that bricked their cards.
And you for providing the working cards if I'm not mistaken. Team effort, with Wizzard on top :up:Quote:

I have a Visiontek 4870 coming on Tues., so I should be able to post my findings this week. I don't think I'll attempt o/c until I've seen it's OK at stock for a few days at least.

I'm happy though, just hope peeps word their posts properly in the future before their rants reverbarate around the global highway and cause general mayhem and panic.
There are people in the UK now who think buying a HD4870 is a risky prospect due to sudden death syndrome! :rolleyes:
Refer em to that techpowerup solution and why it happened and it'll be all good.
that's what I'm doing, and the reason why I made the poll public
I am scared.
the dead are arisen!:)
Something like that is what bought me here a few days ago when the reports 1st started up, I'd already ordered the HD4870 (which because of not being in stock I'm still waiting for) so I were following things, mainly out of interest in if it were really random or user error, I assumed it were more likely the latter, & that is how it's turned out... Atleast this is an issue resolved for those of us who know, but you know how the internet flies around rumours, it wouldn't suprise me if many think HD4870 are still dropping like flies simply because of this... Which personally I think is a little unfair on ATi.Quote:
