Are there really a lot of RMA issues with this card? I was thinking either the BFG eVGA or XFX card.

Thanks
 
Best performance: EVGA or XFX. Both overclock higher than BFG out of the box.
Best customer service: EVGA or BFG. If your card has problems they are much faster than XFX at providing a replacement.

I'd recommend EVGA, just got one of their n584 model 7900gt's and it rocks. Stay away from open box or reconditioned 7900gt regardless of brand since there were problems with the initial batch of cards. Also, I'd suggest avoiding MSI or PNY, not that you asked about them, but I've heard bad stories about their customer service.
 
i live in CA but my XFX card RMAed came i less than a week, i thought that was good?


i like XFX but evga is my second choice... cant go wrong with eather
 
I got the eVGA 7900 GT KO with the newer memory chips and solid copper heatsink. From what I understand, the older cards had issues with artifacting. Well, this one doesn't. The other nice thing about this card is that the stock fan is dead silent until you run a game. But even then the fan isn't all that loud.
 
BFG ^^. It's not OC'ed very high right out of the box, but atleast you have MUCH higher odds of it not crapping out on you =). EVGA's & XFX's 7900GT's have been well known to do so.

I have an eVGA 7900GT Signature Series. I've only had it for a couple of days, but my initial impression is a good one. It's very fast. :) The card ships with the clocks set at 600/800. It's currently overclocked to 620/900 with the stock heatsink running completelly stable. The RAM is actually rated up to 900MHz. I don't know if I'd pay the extra money for a brand new one, but I got a great deal from another member here.
