Does EK have GTX280 and HD4870 FC blocks coming soon ?

[NaeKuh]

Didn't EVGA use DD blocks on prior cards? This doesn't look like a DD product.

wrong company.

BFG was the smart one that paird up with DD

eVGA paired up with that crap of a company called innovotek. And got chewed out by me and a lot of other water people for picking a stupid partner.

Black Pearl which was corrosion nightmare = eVGA + innovotek.

I just got my his 4870 in today and my 3870 EK block WILL NOT fit. The pcb holes dont align at all besides the 4 center ones which sucks. I really wanted to fit it on this card.
Guess we will have to wait for EK to get us a new one.
3dmark06 score below. These 4870s are wicked fast.

The middle hole is the important one.

Do the ram and gpu lign up. Thats the question.

U can always tap the block to make the holes. That isnt the issue.

THe issue is does the block sit flat with the ram and core.
