DO NOT BUY ANY 4870's at this time

over in the general discussion forum we are finding that the numbers of dead cards has reached the double digits (read: more than 10) and as an owner of 2 dead HIS 4870's at this time i can safely say they are not safe to buy
your joking? from what i have seen there mostly cards released in the US that are exhibiting this problem , and allot of them have been flashed , cards do "just" die , it happens , maybe the gddr5 is extrasensitive?

anywayThese are the first ATi cards with 1Mb ROMs. As such, old tools might not work all that well for flashing the bios, in spite of their claiming RV770 support. So a wee bit of patience in your extreme overclocking endeavors might be very very healthy.

could be a problem?
