i'll try, but if he doesn't bite. I don't mind with it at bargained $300 shipped from $330.
Been looking at the KFA2 GTX 480 review and when that thing is overclocked it surpasses the 5970 by a good margin sometimes. And im gonna guess the minimum FPS is tons better considering its a single card. KFA2 = GTX 480 with arctic cooling accelero xtreme, the same card im buying pretty much.
Hopefully this deal goes through.

yea, except for the fact that it won't actually be running cooler since the 480 has an accelero xtreme plus on it lmao
I'll just mention that 570's can be had for $300 and offer = to better performance.
Wat amazes me is the overclocking headroom the 480 has.......200mhz core with voltage tweaking is quite surprising since its so hot while a 570 reaches an 80mhz core overclock with no voltage. 480 get 150mhz with no voltage. Of course each card is different but from all the reviews/threads i've read, thats about the general headroom.
Edit: alright so the card does actually come with warranty. 3 years through Galaxy. Does the accelero xtreme void that though?
Edit2: nvm, found out that even with the cooler, it doesn't void galaxy warranty
