OK I feel little better. Newegg is refunding me the money for the card. I asked for a exchange but they are out of stock so they are just refunding the money. Trying to decide if I want to buy another or just run with one now.
I take a hit on FPS on BF3 but I can max out SWTOR on a single card.

I called back up there because something wasnt jiving. The 6990's show to be in stock so there should be no reason to change it to refund. I normally wouldnt mind getting a refund except I would end up loosing money having to re-order. They were subtracting $15 for some discount I got and also I would have to pay shipping on the new card.
Anyway this lady said she would email the warehouse to get a new card shipped out instead of a refund. No telling what they will do though.

Originally posted by Lason View PostI think your going to see most people hold onto their cards untill the next gen cards come out in a couple months. If you do get your hands on a Radeon 6990 then let me know, newegg just emailed and they are sending a refund after all. I have an extra cooler for the 6990 now unless I decide to order another which may or may not happen.

I fucking give up! Sitting there reading a webpage and went back to my desktop and my last 6990 went out. All three monitors just went dark. Tried reseating the card, switching card bios and resetting cmos. Finally threw in my X800 out of my old desktop and it works. This is complete bullshit, I wasnt even doing anything but sitting on the desktop.

I hope you can get a refund for it, have you tried booting with the stock bios?
For what its worth, our friend Yuri is running a single 6990 and her temps from what i've seen are pretty darn good for what it is and on the stock oem cooler. Good luck man!

Yep tried stock bios, my 30 days with newegg is over so my only hope now is an RMA with MSI. Luckily I registered the cards when I got them. Only issue is I dont have the grey thermal pads for the Vregs for the stock cooler. They came apart when I pulled it apart. I hope that doesnt keep me from getting it RMA'd.
I should be getting my money back for the first 6990 anyday now. Im thinking of getting a single 6970 and if MSI wont RMA this one then pick up another 6970.
