well hopefully not but by now I'm sure you have learned that all these mobos, rams, GPUs, can turn it out to be a pain.

luckily we deal with DS which worst case scenario, got us covered

I was referring to the pwm, that one is the latest ftw edition out.

it has better voltage stability and efficiency and new improved bios, should OC well.

aren't they giving you the pwm model?

I'm sure that is the one they have, but it never hurts to double check

DS has that version listed but Duke called and said it was the previous version so I had him order it and I advised DS to remove it from the configurator because they dont carry the digital pwn version so they shouldnt call it that.

Well good thing you caught it not a huge difference between the two tho, but I would say the pwn would be the equivalent of the xfx you had.

They do carry the PWM verison or they did. I got them to special order one for me and the decided to order extra and start carrying the pwm version. I had probs with the xfx also and take it from me you will love the pwm board. All my probs went away after duke installed that mobo for me!!
