    Looking at the picture on newegg.com, it has VGA and HDMI in addition to DVI-I. It also looks heavy enough to kill yaks.

    Would that be a Grassland Yak or an Alpine Yak?

    I would say the Grassland Yak, you ever seen those Alpine Yak's run down the mountain full steam into a rock? they are built tough!

    I picked up the Gigabyte version today which comes with a Zalman cooler on it. I felt like it was worth the extra $10.

    This seems like a good deal, except for the rebate part

    I don't mind it comes with a rebate ... but make sure that Eggie processes your rebate promptly otherwise u will be looking at 3-6 months for your money back!

    There arent any yet so casefudder wont have an opinion until he can be given one. I bought this two weeks ago for 160ar and it has been flawless and I enjoy DX10 with Kyrsis and Bioslop. I have not seen any problems with IL2 that has been reported with other 4890s.

It can definitely get close, but I'd believe all of their SOC where cherry picked production.

    I find MSI's warranty not as desirable for this level of cost. Basically a 2-year... fine enough for many gamers because they'll have sold it and moved on, so for them it's a moot point.

    "MSI VGA Products are warranted for 3 year limited warranty (Two (2) years Parts & Labor, and the third Year Parts ONLY, shipping and handling fee will be required)."

    Well your wrong and try as you might you can't find anything bad about this card and the only reason you are now is that you are a giant kunt.
    I'm not a helpless coward like you, Robin.
