| Post subject: | I have given up on ASUS card, |
I have given up on ASUS card, I am too afraid of issues with VRM long term. Not worth investing in a more expensive card, and have more issues then reference design. I also do not want to have the "coil whine or click", seems every OEM went cheap on reference and imroperly insulated the coils and you can hear them, even youtube vids on some being that bad. MSI has shown the new 7970 lightning but not released it. I also have no info other then rumors on the 6GB card, every bit on info I read shows 3GB only. MSI has not offically announced the new lighting, it uses a new revision of their TF cooler. I am now waiting, but my eyefinity is down now, I have 3xDP monitors and a DP port died on my exsisting 6970, and I need to use DP for my 24' "wings" as they are DP monitors, only my middle 27' has DVI. I have terrible luck sometimes. I will RMA the card when I replace it then sell it. |

I think I am going to stay away from this card also. I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBwDvhnaUzA of the MSI Lightning. It looks pretty nice. |

I found the following thread on SIMHQ today that indicates TSMC may have shut down their 28nm production line about 3 weeks ago! Quote: "Very roughly 3 weeks ago, it is rumored, TSMC shut down the 28nm production line(s). The cause is not known. TSMC is saying "all will be well"."

I am considering it as well! I have all of my new PC parts except for the G-Card. I am tired of waiting for ASUS DC2T and reading about its issues. I want a single G-card with three identical monitor connections, preferably DisplayPort but Mini DisplayPort will do. I will have to buy adapters though. The weather was great here in the Great White North today! Felt almost like spring. :) |

Will do. The out of stock notice went up about 3 hours after the notification came to me. I was very lucky to get my order submitted and accepted. Now I hope I am lucky enough to get a good version of this G-card. I also picked up my new Hyundai Santa Fe today! My wife and I both like it a lot over our 9 year old Montana van. Plan to keep it for the next 10 years. :) |
