Default Metal bar on 6800GT?

Just bought my PNY 6800GT. On the top of the card there seems to be a metal bar that runs across. Is this abnormal?

Yes, that is extremely abnormal. Box the card up and send it to me immediately. I shall check it out and return it to you when I am done with my analysis.

Nah, it's perfectly normal. You can still send it to me if you want, though.

Their only good stuff happens when they Asus builds the PCBs for them when their orders go to high. Otherwise they're just videocards that work.

Nope. I'd return that for a BFG or Asus 6800GT. FYI, CompUSA will usually accept an open box return.

Simply because current generation PNY cards have a very high failure rate.
