Tested the new ab today, no go. I called msi and spoke to a tech about it. He said all of the earliests versions of it were shipped with a bad bios. I asked him to have the product manager call me about the fact that our team has five and they are all fucked. Told him its bad pr for the #1 team to have 5 pos's. Lets see if he calls or contacts me. In the interim I am gonna flash my card with Dent's bios and see if it makes a difference. Stay tuned and GL

Mine sucked TOO...The best i did on air was 1035 gpu and the memory clock was just chit....like 1210....My XFX just kills it...I had one increased score with 3D05 by like 18 points but a low 1025/1210 clock...
Makes since that it would be 3D05....05 seems to always like something different....

I don't really understand why the clocks are so bad because it runs as cool as the standard 5870....

I sent it back!!!!!!!!!!

waiting on the 5870 Matrix 2gb

When they first showed people testing it, wasn't it a 2gb model??????

Screw it. I sent mine back. I'm not going to buy another POS!!!! Radeon card again. They sucked us all in with their bait and switch tactic. I don't believe they didn't know the bios was bad. I think they just figured we'd suck it up. The green goblin is around the corner.
