Yes its disgusting and sneaky really, they know everyone wants the reference cards and do a bait and switch, but they cover it by having written in obscure and tiny letters " picture may vary" or some such sh^%$#it!!!
I was FUMING, i waited a whole WEEK for a parcel to go from one part of melbourne to another!! like 80 kms or something, only to find it was a twin fan design, and i dont have a car atm so its a huge hassle for me to return, all i wanted was the reference model!!!
That is the sexiest looking gpu in existence far as im concerned what amd did with that boxey oblong shape and black/red edge, the one i have instead is so revolting only its mother could face looking at it for extended periods, ive seen a bucket full of cane toads that looked prettier,, but works superbly so far. haha lol.
Never mind, i would have paid the extra or whatever had i known, i loathe dishonesty at any level, call me old fashioned, but to me, being honest is worth more than all the money in the world!
You know what n-gen, i caint stand that "gaming" type art they put on them either sometimes, i wish they would get a bit of maturity and real style instead, most gamers are not 15 yrs old, even the stickers arent put on evenly in those 6870,s.
Sorry , im winging, please forgive me my frustrations.
