Just received this e-mail.

Dear XFX Customers,

In light of recent events, we suspect that one of our HD 5970 Black Edition Limited graphics cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialised pieces, #68 is unaccounted for. We have evidence of a security breach in our facility, thus we believe #68 has been illegally obtained as the product has yet to be released. Please be aware that the person responsible will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of a suspect, or if you can provide us with any information, please report it to ******@xfxforce.com. XFX will reward any information leading to the return of #68. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
XFX

I work at the Ati_ Storehouse in Berlin. I stole the card in Scranton, at the Dunder Mifflin paper company storehouse. Anyone interested in buying this piece of beauty?

Using it right now, its working great so far (Although I surely need a bigger power supply, using 420W now.. need 600W or more :P)

How come would one need a 600W power for a single-card build?

Those "minimum requirements" are mostly bullshit anyways.. Probably sth like 150W too much in them.

But seriously, probably some viral campaign attempt.

evga , sapphire are good .. have been using evga for years now and switchted to
a sapphire 285gtx some weeks ago.. but i might switch back to ati as it seems that
nvidia's 480 gpu just can't match up with ati :-(

Dude, you tried to be cool, but face it, you're a poser, get back on the earth, you don't have a Sapphire GTX285 as it doesn't exist. It's fine to have a on-board video card, you don't have to be feel bad about it.

i've just doublechecked .. and yes, it's not a sapphire, it's a sparkle ..

i always mix up these 2 fuckin brands .. and i am no damn poser, no need to be one.

It's just marketing, the whole thing is a hoax.
