I understand where you are coming from. Due to a bad insulating job I destryed 2 4870x2's when they were first released. I threw them away and purchased two more because I was at fault.
As advertised would be the card performing the same as the samples they put in the hands of the sponsered guys before the retail cards were released. The retail version should perform as well as that. If they wanted us to buy for advertised speed they should make that known and the prereleased versions should be show cased at stock speeds.

I dont really count the guys on hwbot setting records with modded cherry cards as advertising, although it certainly is to guys like us.
I get your point though, Ill call them up and see what they say  |
