I don't think anyone actually knows for sure.
I have 3 coming (tracking number says on Monday). I will post once I have proof whether they are or are not 5870 and produce over 6870 hashes.

Rebate has a 1 limit unless you use alternate mailing address, etc.
It's in the fine print.

Sneaky.
Didn't see that.
I ordered 2 of them, shipping from Memphis. Should have them Sat.
What driver/cgminer settings on these for Bitcoin mining? I use 11.11 for my other 6000-series cards and 13.4 for the 7000's.

I'm using 13.4 with my old 5870 and getting ~420khash/s with a smallish OC. Settings for cgminer is --thread-concurrency 8000 -I17 -g1 -w256. Could probably turn up intensity if you're not using it for displaying video on a monitor.
I ordered two plus a Powercolor 7790 that has dropped $20 in price.
still $130 with $10 rebate bringing total to 120 each.
ed: no more discounts, nm

I am 99% positive that these are NOT rebranded 5870's. A 6870 only has 1120 shaders. A 5870 has 1600, and a 5830 has 1120. I'm pretty sure these are "rebranded" 5830's. Only reason I'm not 100% is because sapphire's site says 1600 shaders, which I'm damn sure is a typo. Sapphire's site has a number of other 6870's which show the correct 1120 shaders, but the one on the top says 1600 which I'm sure is wrong.

If the cards do not end up having the 1600 stream processors I am sure we could return them since they are "not as advertised". Lets keep fingers crossed however (since I purchased one)

I sure hope Sapphire's site is correct. :/
I ordered 3 today, and they should arrive either Saturday or Monday.
Like bitcoiner49er said, it is a gamble. But hopefully it will be worth it.

It IS a gamble, but a user on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1csukd/purchased_6870s_from_newegg_that_ended_up_being/ confirms 1600 shaders via GPU Caps, and the last review on Newegg confirms 390-420 MH/s.
