4 samples hardly prove or disprove someones theory, especially with a benchmark program. We'd need numbers on how many cards were sold, and then narrow it down to the affected models to get an effective sample size (even then it would be a flawed study because everyone's rig is different, too many variables to get a good standard study). It really comes down to how the cards were manufactured, and if it is a hardware issue, why are people raising such a fuss? Yeah it sucks, return the card and buy a different one. Or for your next purchase buy Nvidia. Of course I doubt we get any of that, but that's what we'd need. For now it's just what is available on this board. Would the Fire cards be affected by this? I have access to 2 at work but I don't know what a comparable model would be to the 4870/90.
