i find its a good move, they have more cards in stock earlier is what counts in for sales. If they did a good deal with whoever is responsible its even more clever..
I agree with Oese. I don't care about the connector corner being hand sanded off either. You can only see it if the card is out of your case and you look really hard at it. It doesn't effect the performance of the card. If any of you had ownership in AMD you would have sanded it to. I am sure it is more than lets just re-solder this connector over here. They would probably have to do some redesigning to the PCB board, moving components around. That would have required too much time initially and also would waste perfect boards which means a lot of money wasted. NVIDIA already had their gtx series out and AMD needed to get theirs out on the market. I could care less about the corner. Mine work perfect.

I don't see why anyone is complaining about this. What if they didn't sand off the corners of the connector. Then you guys would really have something to complain about. What if they initially scrapped all those boards and made a revision board. That would have taken months of time to do and yet everyone would be still complaining. They definitely made the ideal choice, both for AMD's business and for the consumers who were eagerly awaiting the new 6900 series.
