Of course. DFI sucks big time on mobos. It's normal. WTH I like this card .

If you oc your cpu and it dies from excessive voltage you go, "I borked it". The same applies to gpus .

I myself will be getting a GTX260 because the damn thing is actually cheaper down here. As far as I'm concerned the 4870 slays the other card on stock settings but on max oc, they are very close. I do hear AA and AF is better on the AMD card but I so don't care.
