anyone with a 12,2 ?

I know most of you are more interest in the 5k, but I'm going to wait it out until rev2

Beware of that model, I believe that model with the upgraded 6970 gpu had lots of issues.

I've seen the threads on the 6970 - and ways to replace it.
I'm going to run it through the paces when I test it.

any good suggestion for a gfx card test to see if it fails ?
