I would say i could nick the corners on about 1000 cards easy in a day.

What are the other alternatives? Intel makes garbage graphics chips.Originally Posted by SamHughe
PowerVR makes some decent ones but they're low power. There's S3 graphics but they're not that powerful and the drivers aren't so great.
Right now, I don't see any alternative to the two dum dums running things.
two words: Job security
Asus Z9PE-D8 WS with 64GB of registered ECC ram.|Dell 30" LCD 3008wfp:7970 video card
LSI series raid controller
SSDs: Crucial C300 256GB
Standard drives: Seagate ST32000641AS & WD 1TB black
OSes: Linux and Windows x64
Nvidia and AMD have to much momentum , noone else can enter within a release cycle and making something competitive and profitable ahead of time is very difficult , Intel tried once in the past and by the time they had something it was outdated Intel 740, ( I remeber intel demo with some dolphins running on Intel 740 it was under 30fps) then they tried again recently with "Larrabee" and plain out canceled it. Now its some HTC ? addon card noone cares for.
Now making hardware is one thing but you also need big driver software development team. That is keeping up with progressing technologies.
In short there won't be any more competition , it can get worse , can go from two options to choose to only one.

Design Issue, not production
I'd say the problem was found too late for that revision.. many PCB's made already so resort to a Mod while someones head rolls.
I'm sure there'll be a Rev 1.1 or something soon (moving the plug as someone suggested)

How do you know that, it could have still been a production issue as wellDesign Issue, not production

chiphell's mod is nv fanboy, there's a prove

Oh yes, that image help me a lot, now I have no doubtschiphell's mod is nv fanboy, there's a prove
I suggested that and got owned, you might wanna take it back! lol. I am sure it is easier to have people polish the heatsinks by hand. Who even said that? Why wouldn't they just use a machine like a belt sander?Design Issue, not production

Actually chiphell is made of ATI/AMD fanboys. This time the mod jumped ship maybe
he jumped the ship for almost 1 and half year, the famous word he said is that " AMD is a company running by peasants"
so without peasants, what does chiphell's mod eat ? the shiitt from NV?

No that's not from an nvidia account. It's showing that nvidia is forwarding the thread inside the company. Look into the message which at the beginning points to the URL of the original thread.
gotcha that is what I figured, I guess if i was them I woudl do the same. You know I bet things like this happen all the time, well not to this extent but its funny how people really took note.
nvidia u serious, kinda low of them..
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
Doesn't Sapphire do the reference designs?
Sigs are obnoxious.
How is it clearly a design issue? Well, Lets see..
The problem is a connector interfering with the Fan blade..
Manufacturers don't just put whatever connector, Fan, HSF they feel like, where they feel like..
The position of the holes in the PCB for the connector, and the type of connector (dimensions etc) are all specified by the engineering dept.
Same applies for the HSF and fan assembly itself. Do you think the OEM would accept a HSF assembly from its manufacturer with a fan in the wrong spot??? I think not. If the Design is right, and tollerences are achievable by the manufacturers of the various parts (PCB, Assembly, HSF) then you cannot go wrong.
Probably Some sort of last minute change to one or the other (PCB or Fan assembly) has clearly occured, and not be communicated between the two teams properly

And this is a big deal because ... ?

Intel's atom is a terrible chip.
...some people do not like hand modded cards
lol
Holy sh*t. There is only ONE possible reason on earth why a wire-wrap card like that could exist....
crystal meth.
Reminds me of my friends neighbor who has spent the past 9 months rebuilding his Ford Mustang's engine, typically between the hours of 11pm and 5am.... every.... single... night. For reference, I recently rebuilt the engine from neighbors mustang with the past generations 4.6L engine, and it took me two full weekends and about two hours each afternoon on weekdays after work.

Two things come to mind when such a question is posed.
1. wood screws
2. hypocracy
