ok, so I'm researching for GPU upgrade, and reading some customer reviews ...and came across this
Read the VERY last one at the bottom of the page ...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162075

now read this one

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7170064&CatId=0

6 days apart ?
EXACT same words ..did he buy a second a couple of days from the other site ?

maybe 2 different people with the EXACT same setup , using the EXACT same words ..coincidence ?

is this perhaps someone who works for Galaxy trying to up the reviews ?

also the SKU for the card pictured at neweg for a different card, the one the egg has pictured ,is I think the GC edition, maybe that's what they are sending out..maybe a typo in the title ..not sure ..I just though it was kind of odd to have the same review on 2 different sites like that , within 6 days of each other ..what do yall think ?

Hard to say. It could be. But sometimes people get so excited about a product, they end up reviewing it in multiple places.

I did that before. I bought a Gigabyte motherboard locally at a store called microcenter, in Yonkers, NY and my CPU at DataVision in NYC. I loved my new toys so much I decided I needed to review them. I put up my reviews for the products on newegg, where I usually shop. It just so happened that I couldn't wait to get the parts that time, it was friday and i wouldn't get them till next wednesday, and decided to shop locally and take a hit on the taxes.

Another time I bought an LSI SAS controller on provantage which was a POS. I got so mad that I decided to write about my terrible experience with in on Newegg...

BUT, more importantly, look at him bash the GPU's warranty "Cons: Only 2 year warranty compared to some with 3+"

why would the company's employee bash his company's warranty like that if he was trying to sell it? Just my $0.02

At first, I honestly thought he was trying to bump up the ratings to sell the cards, until i looked again and saw the con.
