Its friggin 17GB, and the gameplay is crap, so are the graphics, I didn't even bother with the demo.
You liked it? Then I gotta give it a try, maybe DX11 will look cool(I played in DX10), but a freaking 17GB download??? :::: Pulls hair apart with rage :::
Also consider that you won't get a rma here, shipping a card to usa(or china) and paying for return is about 2-3k, consider that before you think about the price.
RMA done(yippy), they gave a new product, no refurbish or anything, a brand new model that I just registered in the XFX website(weird thing is that the last model is still shown as registered, wonder which unlucky idiot will end up with the broken card), model is same, the package is different though, it has a free Assassins creed game(in a disc rather than that crappy AVP digital download last time), the model number does not appear in the website, but the website accepted it, a little bit of googling tells that this model is for european market only
, the guys in the center were very very helpful(akshay enterprises), they actually tested the card with the taxing Lost planet 2 benchmark before giving it to me, much better than the crappy rashi service center, I definitely recommend akshay for any kolkataans going for xfx products.
PS: played crysis warhead for sometime, no problems, but I have my fingers crossed.

Nah, that was the case for the HD4xxx series, the HD5xxx series runs damn cool and no throttling in case of furmark, the GTX480/470 however reaches 98c in furmark in european countries with 22c ambient, here it may hit 105c in furmark and throttle down, you need to manually set the fan using Kombustor.
No, mine was a parallel import, the dealer took care of it(actually rma'd it faster than rashi usually does, a bit over 3 weeks)

Thanks, hopefully this card will last sometimeGlad to hear that you've gotten a brand new card - enjoy your gaming time
BTW, do akshay enterprise sell gfx cards directly to the customers ??
thanks for informing.
no more stress test for me, XFX is NOT EVGA(9800GTX+ ran kombustor unlocked for 3 hours, damn good card).
Nah, no good games out now, I was looking forward to Singularity but friends say its not that good, mafia 2 looks way too short and easy compared to the first one, blur is crap, just playing borderlands now, installed crysis warhead and BFBC2 to test my GPU but I've played them a dozen time, thinking about starting fallout 3 again.
62c on load? What kind of load? That looks like the load generated by pacman(or mario)??
You mean HAWX right? Looks good, if it wasn't for the internal exhaust design I'd have gotten it.
Yeah, if the EVGA reference was available here, that would've been awesome, pov also has a reference design, not so sure about the availability and service here though.
