I see that the cards are starting to become available again. Is it worth it to sell my Sapphire reference card and get one of these? The tearing is really starting to drive me nuts. I have tied the mDP to DVI adapters and they id not help at all. I m using 3 DellU2410s.

I haven't heard anything about the MSI lightning. What is the ETA for this card?

A 6GB MSI Lightning 7970 was shown at CeBIT, from what I understand... no ETA.

There is no ETA for either the MSI or the ASUS, at least at my retailer... :(

Equally unavailable so perhaps I even wait for kepler, in spite of me always going ATI at least it should lower prices due to competition.

We have been waiting for this ASUS card for quite some time; however, the problem that has been reported about it (e.g., VRM overheating) has made me reconsider getting this card unless ASUS addresses the issue publicly to ensure me that the problem has been addressed.

I am seriously considering an MSI or Saphire HD7970 card that has three identical monitor connectors, either 3 DisplayPort or 3 miniDispayPort for my Dell U2410 monitors. I would rather not use the 3 minDisplayPort cards because that would require miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort adapters or special new cables for my monitors and because of issues I have read about some of the adapters and cables not working properly with certain monitors such as mine (e.g., flicker, monitor going into sleep mode and not coming out of it without disconnection and power-off).

The NVidia Kepler G-card is also under consideration as I read somewhere that it may be in stock before the end of March. I hope it would allow me to use 3 identical monitor connectors to avoid tearing, and on a single card too.

After doing a lot of reading on this issue and the DCUII in general I am going to wait and see. I guess I can live with the tearing for now. If anyone has one of these cards please post you experience.
