A handful?

If one is that ignorant of what they buy, then they deserve it. Do you think that your average Joe buys discrete cards just randomly by looking at the packaging and the cards name only? Some may do, but they're definitely a minority. Let alone how many of those are actually HD 5000-series owners.

And some people have guts to call this a renaming.
