Yep another thread of that

I'll make it simple.

7900gt bought last year from the bad batch dies in feb.
I'm lazy cause i bought a 8800gts to replace it, but I RMAed it on day 14 of the thing.

2.5 weeks later, Its here. 7950gt 256mb.

Free upgrade on my card!

Thanks eVGA you rock!

8800gts to GTX step up, here I come!
 
Imagine you didnt have a replacement card to use during RMA. 2.5 weeks suck IMO. Upgrade or not.
 
I spent $1200+ dollars on two 7800GTX 512 cards from them (one died) and they sent me a defective 7800GTX 512 as a replacement just this week.. The thing wasn't even packaged properly and the HSF fins were all bent on one side. It was probably a RMA somebody sent in a long time ago.
 
I just got my RMA in today.
RMA'd a 7900GT and received a 7900GT in return.
Unfortunately, the replacement 7900GT doesn't overclock as high as my previous one.
 
They dont usually use used cards, and if they do they are recertified and should look new. If you have a messed up card thats scratched up then re-RMA it and contact evga telling them your situation.
 
I had a card for the 2.5 weeks :p

I had my eVGA 8800gts :p

I didnt RMA my 7900gt sooner because I bought the gts to replace it.

I had to have my computer for school so I bought a new card that I will step up for my next build this summer.

If you don't have a replacement card, get one, you cant go wrong with an extra cheap pci-e card: $50.

Your opinion sucks, IMO. Ever had to deal with Gigabyte Asus or DFI RMA?

and as for the upgrade, the 7950GT was a product of the treat from ATI's cheap X1900XT 256mb. Since then the 7900GT has ceased production, and in its place is the 7950GT. As such EVGA's only choice was to give you a 7950GT.

btw, 7950, terrible nomenclature. 7950GX2 > 7900GTX > 7900GTO (high core low mem) = 7950GT (high mem low core) > 7900GT. Simple when explained but to the un-educated customer? not so much!

Exact same boat as you... EXACT SAME. lol

Your opinion of my opinion sucks. Take that :p

Honestly if a company is telling you that their RMA turnover is about 4-5 business days, I wont buy a replacement, I will just deal with it. If it turns out to be triple than what they advertise, that sucks. Pure and simple.

And yes I have had an Asus RMA. And I dont have any more Asus product. Weird hey??
 
yeah, even i who trusts evga completely still has a cheap videocard so that i can use my PC when its in RMA so i dont have to complain about how slow it is.
 
radioshack 2 minutes away from my house with their 30 days return policy ftw.....

Sent my 6800gs in, paid $107 for a 64 bit, ddr2 256mb, turnbocache 7300gs lol...... hope evga get my replacement here soon, probably a 7600gt... :)

highly doubt you will get a 7600 card at all. they only upgrade you if the card has been discontinued like the 7900gt is. otherwise you get the same card you sent in.
 
I dont think they make the 6800gs anymore? newegg only has 2 6800gs and one from evga is refurb :)
 
I think that they can send you refurb cards... but i dont think they have any 6800gs's in stock. You never know until you ask what you would be sent.
 
Dude..you are soo lucky..If I RMA my 7900GT that I will be buying, I hope that receive a 7950GT too! Oh...by the way, are you interested in selling the 7950GT? If so PM me.
 
No they are not... and when i RMA'd Mine a few months back i got a 7900 gt KO but those arent being made either so i would probably say a 7950GT?
 
I RMAed my EVGA 7900GTX, which was having "snowy" affect intermittently the past few months. Tracking info says EVGA should receive the card today (Fri). I have no other hope other than that I will just get another 7900GTX to replace mine. On the day when I open the box and if it's something else (nicer), then I will have something to be excited about. I know the 7900GTX was discontinued a long time ago, but I believe EVGA still has lots of 7900GTX for RMA reason.
 
RussianHaxor works for evga so i wouldn't doubt that he or other people who are saying they received a 8900GTX2 900meg card after RMA'ing a 5800GT 16meg are full of it. Remember that Nvidia hired a bunch of viral marketers a while back and were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Companies will stoop to any level to try and earn your money.

My RMA experience is far more likely to be typical. They sent me a dead replacement for the card i RMA'd. My card is far more rare than other cards and was only manufactured for a few months so I dont see why they would just send random outspoken people major upgrade cards.
 
I recently received a AGP 6200 128 MB from a friend as a gift for my "put all my old parts together and make a backup" computer. I ended up having to RMA it, since I opened the box and there was a capacitor bouncing around inside the package. I just got my replacement card yesterday, and I opened the box, to see a 6800 GS! A nice upgrade, especially since the first card was free! :)

On another note, I've had nothing but good experiences with EVGA; I had a bad 7900 GT replaced with no hassle last year, and customer support has been pretty quick with replacements, etc.
 
They shipped my new 7900GTXs priority overnight for nothing when both cards took a dump last year. Figures they failed in the middle of a LAN party too. Replacements are still running, albeit they are in a box awaiting my replacement K8N Diamond Plus (which died because the PCI lock failed and destroyed the PCI slots). Never had a problem since, I've also left the clocks alone because I have no reason to overclock dual 7900GTXs... The Opteron 170 becomes a bottleneck.

I do not work for EVGA... im a volunteer...unpaid...

Also, i did receive a 7900gt Ko from a stock 7800gt and its no lie. I find it sad that you cant believe that EVGA actually does this, they are a great company.
