Damn, that is crazy!  One of my friends is trying to RMA a card right now and Sapphire won't even answer their phones.

Fortunately, none of my cards are Sapphires...  the 6870's are XFX, the 6750's and the 5770's are HIS, and the 7970's are Diamonds.  I have no experience with Diamond but that was the only brand available, damn they all sold out quick...  I had a pair of XFX 7970's in my shopping cart that someone else bought out from under me while I was logging in
