Yes, that's right, my 7900gtx is faulty, as was my 7900gt. I will return it for a full refund probably.

Is it worth waiting for a dx 10 card now? Will my pc support one?

Why is it faulty? I'm getting a 7900GT Uh oh.

Theres tons of people with 7900GT and GTX's with no problems. You probably installed it wrong.

It's not easy to install a video card wrong, but there's several other things to think about.  If he had a different card (ATI?) and left the driver that would cause a problem.  7900gt's recommend a 450w power supply and I'm sure that a 7900gtx will need more than that.  If someone got 1 bad video card that's believable, with 2 bad video cards I'd start looking at everything else before believing that.

Easy, you jam it in there and break off one or a few of those gold transfer bars.

To the person talking about being scared of getting a 7900GT don't be. I own one and have nothing wrong with it, the chances of getting a DOA are not very common.
