It's not like it isn't returnable if it turns out to be really pathetic... I'll know in advance and be able to refuse shipment if so, but it would have to be very bad for me to do so: I haven't had a good experience with the 5870, so I am pretty much settled on the GTX 480. I haven't spent a dime yet .
