3870 Question

So I just unpacked everything and the last part is my video card. I took out the video card out of its package and i noticed it has stickers on the bottom of the card. Should I take these stickers off or leave them on? NOTHING in the manual suggests that I should take these off or leave them on.

Am I worrying too much?

Thank you,

Hippo

If you are talking about the code stickers, leave them on.
They need to be on there if you have to RMA the card if it fails.

Just leave the card as it is.
