Do you guys have a recommendation on a manufacturer? like XFX, Sapphire, etc?

It'll be my first high-end video card purchase, so I don't want to buy crappy and suffer later.

Stick with ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and Sapphire. The rest is second or third tier shit, especially XFX and Powercolor and Club3D.

My best 5870 is a PowerColor... I have 3 of it mining @ 890fxa-gd70, 24x7, non-stop, for 5 months...

My best cards are also 5870 PowerColor, @970mhz

I would put sapphire among the worst.

I've always found HIS to be acceptable. Not the first choice of mine, but it is acceptable.

HIS is probably okay as long as you stick with the reference designs.

i would go with XFX if they are non-reference designs.
If reference, basically no difference, except the warranty.

Nice. Too bad AMD hasn't contacted me about me supporting their GCN platform yet on DiabloMiner.

Seriously, AMD, send me a 7970, I will love you all night long. Wink wink.

Send them a message in some way: it may be twitter, e-mailing their PR department or something like that.

Just tell them that if they want to advertise mining as a selling point, they should have software that is made for that architecture, and since you've already made software for the previous architecture (show them the links and everything), you're just the guy to do it. It's not that they won't find a spare 7970 lying around.

I need to look into those VISA cards that you buy at like Walmart, where you put on cash (non reloadable I think?) but do you know if you can use those cards over the Internet as a legit Credit Card?

And you will buy an AMD card over the internet???

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these!

replace my 2x5770 Wink

I've saved $400 cash, and have (at current prices) about $200 in btc, so once it's released I'll check out my options for buying

I've heard rumors of pricing from 600-700, but who knows.

In that context they may think about frequent pattern mining algorithm and data mining in general. But I'm sure they are thinking about bitcoin.

It is in the same bullet as folding, it HAS to be about mining.

I remember speculation as to whether we were a blip on the radar, or a noticeable chunk of market.

5th bullet down.
