Atleast they are willing to work with you. May be they will find a bug and release a bios fix. Others can benefit too :rockout:

Id try to get another. Id rma the wf3 to gigabyte for replacement
mee toooooo this is the best gpu i ever liked and i dont want to see it go but the dealer tol me that they have discontinued gigabyte products and bring in sapphire products so if u claim warranty it will take upto 1 month also there is a risk that what if they send another gpu and it again dont work then it will be very hard for me to send it again bcz there might be possibility that there is compatibility ssue so i dont want to take risk anymore so i accepted his offer and going to return my 270x tomorrow but i am very sad to let my most beautiful gpu go away from me forever

the reason why i didnt go for gigabyte again is that what if i get a new gigabyte and it also gave sme issue which might be result of some compatibility issue as it was working on all other boards but not on mine even i tried two boards so its bit risky to go again for gigabyte so thats the reason i go for sapphire though gigabyte is lot better then the sapphire dual x especially its windforce3x cooler but this hard thing has to be done
