I got a used XFX7950GT from eBay last week, for about half the retail price. The guy probably had the card in a badly ventilated case and was getting artifacts. I removed the heatsink and applied some AS5, just in case. It idles at 50c, loads at 75c. Since I don't game, it's perfect. Double Dual Link DVI, HDCP (maybe ;)), everything I need for present and future.
