not just that but if lots of people get doa's, like the 7900gt like 40% of the cards sold in the first 6 months died with in 3 days of sale, i had to go thru 3 of them then i got a 7950gt and its smokin, i bought the 7900gt played games for a day then random crashes and artifacs, my local vendor gave me another, same prob they sent it away, they sent me back another one aparently a diferent revision, and it burned up in 5 months but the card also scored me a free 19 inch monitor from lg, that and a person who didnt know how to do there job. i always wait about a month or 2 before buying a product that has first been released. with the design of the 9800gx2 it looks like itl heat up and burn real bad both the gpus are on the inside pcb not the outside, so there facing each other and are gonna heat up like a fire place.
