AMD Cards / HD7870 Major Problem ?

The explanation of the problem and the solution is here:

It is in french... -_-' (I couldn't find it in english) but google should translate it for you

Quickly:

The issue comes from small capacitors from low quality. AMD saw the problem before the release and sent the spec modifications to the producers (like Sapphire).
For an obscure reason, Sapphire didn't follow the spec update and used those crappy capacitors.
Sapphire is aware of the issue, so new products don't have these black screens anymore. For the customers who already have a defective HD7870, Sapphire call the products back (in France, don't know for other countries).
Let's check it for your own countries guys

i havent had that problem! yet.. lol i got the diamond 7870 but scrambler hows the gigabyte 7970 treating you? i was thinking about ordering one

Fun, Sapphire truly did screw up on this on a certain series of cards? But they was basically aware of the issue? What else to say... well RMA is the only answer to this.

Well, i got no Sapphire card this time, so im in luck.
