It appears there's an issue with this model, and it is pervasive to the point EVGA forum has 17 pages. It seems it is prone to "hard reboots" in high end games; and EVGA is seeing cards repeatedly, even to the point of needing to re-issued RMA's to solve it! While substantiated by EVGA and have a fix apparently, I don't know if anyone can be positive the ones are "tempting" you with here... are the "fixed" units. Heck I find EVGA will or have sold them on their "B Stock" store site for $399.
So if it looks to good to be true ... and /or do you feel lucky.
