Title: freakin newegg...just when I thought I got them! Post by: arashd on July 07, 2011, 11:03:56 PM So i wait for weeks, i finally am at the right place at the right time for the nowinstock notification where I get my order in for 2 6990's seconds from getting the notification. Credit card charged, packaged sent. I open the box and BOOM: 2 6970s in the box. Called newegg. Nothing they can do but say sorry and give me a refund. Sucks!

If you want to set up a mining op quickly though, I'd keep the 2 cards and ask them to refund the remaining $1k dollars (assuming 800 bucks per 6990 and 300 per 6970) and start mining right away. Then add the 6990 once they get them in stock & keep 200 bucks. Title: Re: freakin newegg...just when I thought I got them!

I wouldn't necessarily return them. Not really, if you OC the 6990. You can get 410-430 mhash/s per core, about in line with what a single 6970 would get overclocked. Specs wise a 6990 is two full 6970 cores as well (1536 shaders each). |
