Temps are high but would be even higher if the the fan wasnt working overtime to keep the heat at bay. Its the loudest card ever produced, hence, in extension the hottest (the stock cooler is a complete waste of space.)

The fact that many sites doing the tests got errors, black screens, refusal to even start applications etc, is just icing on the cake.(apparently)

Typical AMD cut and paste hope for the best dont worry about the driver, that we can fix in a month or two, maby approach.

The point of this card is beyond me and i feel for those suckered into buying it.

Well I stand corrected and I'll take back my words then re: frame rate performance, I did get a little bit carried away. However AMD still has the bang for buck title over nVidia no matter which card you look at.

Re the driver part - same old same old. nVidia has their fair share of issues as well. I had them when I first got 8800GTX's in SLI and a 9800GTX. I also had them when I got the 4870X2, for me I've always had driver issues with a new card.

I'm not even going to try and explain why I buy the top of the line cards, anyone who knows me knows why. But at the end of the day it's about choice and what a customer wants. I'm actually waiting to see how the 590GTX fairs before I upgrade again.
