First, don't trust Newegg reviews. The people who may have received a DoA are just a small percentage of the total people who bought that same GPU, just the unlucky few.

The MSI Lightning is the best 290X you can buy (at the moment since the ROG 290X Matrix isnt on sale yet). The video card is overclocking-designed, like the MPower/XPower motherboards from MSI with their Military Class components, power phases and stability.
