Well I was able to successfully return the 970 I purchased back on Black Friday @ Newegg. The RMA took a while even though they sent me a 2 day air shipping label to send the card back.
Even though I hated doing it I ended up going with a 980 because I needed a card now and wasn't going to be able to wait until the new 300 series from AMD. Newegg ended up giving me free next day shipping so that was nice I guess.
The whole process took about two weeks. If my RMA had gone through in time I guess it would have taken less time.
I went ahead and ordered the EVGA 980 FTW this afternoon from Newegg as they finally processed my 970 RMA. This whole return was nothing but a hassle for how long it took them to approve it to the point that they had the card for 3 days before even beginning the refund process even after I called them almost everyday.
On top of the gift cards I was given last week by the manager, he was able to give me a discount on the new card due to the RMA issues I experienced with them this week on the 970. If it wasn't for the manager being awesome, this Newegg experience has been a royal PITA.
Hoping that this is a good card, like you I couldn't wait to see what the 300's had to offer and the 290X would of lit up my ITX case like a toaster.
