Sweet card!! I see you finally got it. What's your impression so far compared to 780ti?
Card is up and running now
It's pretty sick so far, did a cookie cutter OC I found online, and ran a benchmark using Kombuster. It went from 69 fps stock to 105 fps. Can't wait to try out some resolution scaling on BF4
I figured it out, they sent me a card that someone returned due to coil whine.

It is not too bad, it looked new in the box but it wasn't sealed. It also has the plastic wrapper on the back plate.
My Strix 970 had a sticker on the box and I believe that was it.

Jesus.
These dumbasses can't even find it in their collective conscience to send you a new card after all this bullshit.
Really sad.
It's not the end of the world, but it just emphasizes the overall attitude.
lol please tell us which vendors send out brand new replacement items cause even the best vendors of know of when dealing with rmas do not send out brand new units. Working refurbs are best case scenario unless your purchase is still inside a return window where it was purchased. Lets not make a happy ending into something its not
I do believe the card sent to you was new but opened for testing prior to being shipped out? Either way congrats on the the new card and it really makes me happy to see Asus make it right. (Even after 3 months' although honestly shouldn't have taken that long.) I personally have had my fair share of Asus MB's and GPU's in the past and currently own a Z87i-Deluxe in my HTPC but only have had one bad experience years back with a Asus P6X58D Premium board where a defective board was shipped out as a replacement.
However, that being said I did a few months back opt for a pair of MSI 970's over a pair of Asus 970's but that was based solely on preference at the time.
I see it from the corporate/beancounter/logical standpoint. You all seem to see it from the customer/freeloader/entitled youth standpoint. That's fine and all, but wait until you are responsible for this kind of fiasco on the corp end, and you'll see what happens.
Generally,retail NIB gpus are tested at the factory or their final stop (OEMs) then packaged and shipped with security stickers or shrink wrap in place.
If the sticker was cut or opened before arrival to the OP it isn't new.
In my experience with RMA's (unless getting new) company's normally send you a replacement item in generic "white box" packaging, not original packaging with items/accessories.
To be honest at this point IMO new or used, item OP received is what he was promised and I'm sure he'll be more then happy overall.
I've received RMAs in a number of ways. Retail packages and generic white boxes.
Most of the time, an "open box" return is sent out in retail packages (and may/may not include accessories), although not always.
I agree, no matter what, the deal is done.
It's just wrong to take so long.
Companies.....the plural of company.
Company's.....belonging to a company(singular), possessive.
