So, ive been waiting for this card for a very long time.
It was meant to be in stock on friday, and ive heard rumors that its not going to be deliverd becuase of tests. The clock speed of 700MHz means its been overclocked, and its failing to pass these tests mabye?

Should i cancel my order on this and just get the stock one?

Or do you think i should stick?
Thanks in advance.

i use 2 gigabyte GT's, and i can clock them to 720mhz/1800mhz/1900mhz (i dont go ner 2000 as i hear thats the limit) for when i play 3D games. theyre considerably cheaper than the card you wanted to buy, and its easy to overclock.

im hearing more and more problems arising from these pre overclocked cards like the zotac AMP model with similar clocks to that ASUS top, as theyre being released with 2ghz stock memory, which seems to be causing issues.

my opinion is just get the cheapest one possible, and clock it to whatever suits your needs with rivatuner.

hope that helps
