I got open box MSI 5870 from newegg.

This is my first time that I ordered open box graphic card from newegg, but I didn't see any problem. Box was missing cables and some accessories though.
No physical damage was done, but temperature wasn't really low compared to my 4850 x2 2gb version. It's pretty loud if you set fan to 100% though.
My fan is set to auto right now and when I play World of warcraft, temperature goes close to 66c.
No problem so far

That's awesome! I'm a huge advocate of open box items, and I'm glad it's working out for you.

Congrats my friend, krazyatom! So you brought that OB, nice score. I've brought a few ATI OBs from the egg and they works great.

thanks guys!
I don't think overclock is necessary for me. It's already really fast!
Now I need to wait for MW2!

krazyatom, if possible and you don't mind. Can you take a pic of the 5870 and 4850 X2, side by side? I'm interested to see the comparison.

I sold my 4850 x2 already to buy 5870
If you're curious about the size, they both fit in my COOLER MASTER RC 690 no problem.
I can take a photo of 5870 for you if you want.
I think length was almost identical. They both barely fits in my case.

Aw ok np, guess I have to wait till I get one. Thanks and look forward to some benchmarks.
