    lol ... Been stewing all day because I found out the XFX 7970 doesn't carry a Double Lifetime Warranty anymore like many of the 6xxx & 5xxx Cards did, this was a good selling point when it came time to resell them. It doesn't even carry a Lifetime Warranty for the Original Owner either, just a 2 Year Warranty. Was considering returning them, went to tigerdirect and checked my Order & low & behold I didn't order the XFX Model but the VisionTek 7970 Model which does carry a Lifetime Warranty unless they drop it too but for now anyway it's Lifetime for me anyway ...

    Haha! That's awesome. I really hope this one is as good for crunching as the specs show it should be. How long do you think it will take the coding on the software to get up to speed for the new CGN architecture? I read the whole article about it at Anandtech, and it sounds like a big step forward for AMD in the crunching arena. Glad they finally will have something to battle the CUDA force in that market. NVIDIA has needed some "real" competition there for a long time.

    not looking promising...

    http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread....rap=true#22941

    Moo, MW and Prime Grid don't run as is on a 7970.

    Collatz appears to be running ok, WUs are completing, am awaiting validation by wingmen to see if it completed correctly.

    MW and PrimeGrid PPS Sieve fall over quickly - in the first few seconds, so with luck shouldn't be too hard to find out the cause. The 7970s at least run on Collatz - await confirmation of validation - so its likely all will be well in the once there is time to focus on adjusting existing packages to keep things going until GCN can be properly brought into play.

    See what the next couple of weeks brings ....

    Regards
