I am RMA'ing my 8800 GTX OC2 768 today. Will I receive the same card back? The issue is when the graphics drivers are present the system gives a black screen on boot. When they are removed system boots normally. Also is there a step up program where I could pay the difference and get a newer card? Thanks in advance.

You should get the same card or "equivalent", which usually means a better card. BFG has a trade-up program that goes for 100 days from date of purchase.
Yeah, as stated above, you'll get the same card or better. However, it's most likely some re-furbed card. Hopefully they have tightened their quality control. I rma'd a 6800GT 2 years ago and received 2 bunk cards before receiving one that worked. No word of a lie. Cards were tested on two separate systems. Not trying to plant a negative seed here. Just warning you to be vigilant with them.
Is this the part where we play the guessing game?
My vote goes to the 9800GTX. Since your card was an OC version they might hook you up with the 9800GTX+.
If they send you a 512 MB card you might be able to complain and get it replaced with a GTX 260.
