Screw it. I sent mine back. I'm not going to buy another POS!!!! Radeon card again. They sucked us all in with their bait and switch tactic. I don't believe they didn't know the bios was bad. I think they just figured we'd suck it up. The green goblin is around the corner.

Just fired mine up with a dry pot to check the bios, and its the same as Dent's bios. No point in flashing it to the same bios. I hope it doesn't need to go back because of a bad vreg. I am gonna become worse than the worst case of syphilis to the tech folks over at msi till I get some answers. Fucking dumbasses
