was planning to get this..looks good..but then the previous version have problem with 5850 right? oo..din noe they have the new revision

ooo..but i tot the xigmatek wont fit on hd5000 series?

Reaching their limit already. 28nm? How better their gc could get with their awesome 5000 series?

its just to hold on until they create another killer GPU. 5000 series still selling good.

sapphire RMA sucks.....waste 2months of waiting...and burn RM1480......use it for 2 weeks only.....damm 5870 vapor x. i'll go for ASUS 5870 V2 this time....

They didn't allow you to RMA? OMG!
I'll ban Sapphire in my list for sure.

what is RMA? plus i see so many different manufacturer for the same GPU? what are the differences between them?

dun blame the manufacturer......
the shop is the 1 dragging the time.

YEAP ME TOO.....so sad and wasting money for nothing.

wat happen?
wat is the reason dat dey don't let u claim?

the reason is got burn mark......i suspect they use low quality chip....here's a photo. now using cheapo geforce 210 card without any issue...except slow and headache when play game.

wow...dat is som serious burn.....

This doesn't add up, this kinda thing should be covered by the warranty.

Do you have a more detailed explanation why your warranty claim is rejected?...I don't see why something like a minor burnt circuitry is categorized as voiding warranty...

Are they saying that this damage is caused by external factors (your mobo, PSU, etc.) hence it's you who cause the damage, not by the defectiveness of their card???
Because I know some friends who encountered worst damage than what you showed in the pic (burnt capacitors and Vram, big electrical spark in his case, etc.) but manage to retrieved a fresh card back from RMA. no more than a month...

Sapphire = LOW QUALITY.
My friend's Sapphire Radeon HD5850 got problem also... He'll RMA it when he's FREE.

ATI-AMD sells 16 million 5000 series GPUs

Never bought Sapphire ... always got Gaygaybyte only

In the future wanna try Galaxy and Asus.

gigabyte sure provide longer warranty than others, worth investment

what they say is the damage because of lightning or short circuit bla bla bla...but my mobo everything is working fine....first they sent it to distributor to claimed a new one...but distributor said cannot because the card got burn mark...then they say can try sent to taiwan back to the manufacturer hopefully that they give me a new one...after 2 months of waiting...taiwan also reject says can't give me a new because of the burn chips.

then the shop call me....boss cannot claimed the new one....we already try everything bla bla bla...then i said so how now? the shop says if u get another card from us we give u a special price lorr..ok sounds promising then i went to warranty department to collect the burn card and the girl call the shop downstairs inform about my situation....then i went downstairs ok which card u wanna buy...then i said asus 5870 v2 if u have...open up the box it's a reference model...price we give rm 1400 lor...tak banyak untung wor jual graphic card. that's not special price to me.

why dont u give zhen wei or lingloong a shot? there is more than 1 local distri aint it?

i haven't bought a replacement yet..the shop take it back to another distributor...

I hope you don't buy that "special price" Asus 5870..... did you try nego with them kau kau?
You got a special case and could have use that slight advantage to persuade those guys for a proper special price like around RM1100 or lower..

Still, don't give up on that burn 5870 yet, like speedhunter said, try these guys out:
