My luck got worse. GTX 285 was able to get here...however it is DOA. Doesnt POST. In either slot I get the beep codes for VGA not detected. So back it goes. I hope Fermi is more reliable for me.

You sure it's not your mainboard? Imho you should test it in a friend's computer as well. The chances to get that much hardware doa are small, don't you think? Only had one piece of hardware arrive dead.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Would it be that hard to show a few numbers, even on early silicon? I mean, they could say "it's early hardware so it can improve" and keep ppl from buying HD-5k.
