I read online that the card is unreliable and needs to get rmaed a lot.

I heard there's a certain XFX model that had an issue, but other then that, it's one of the most recommended cards here...

This one had a faulty memory issue resulting in a pretty high DOA rate. That's all I've heard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4150523&cm_re=XFX_6950-_-14-150-523-_-Product

$219.99 after mail-in rebate with a game... anyone who buys that needs to ask themselves "why is this inexpensive card in stock while others are not?"

Where did you read that they are unreliable? I think I've seen a fair amount LESS of issues with the 69xx series cards than usual for a generation's "high end" card series.
