Should I get a recertified 7900GT, or a new one? I could save as much as $70 with a recertified version, but I'm kind of worried about something being wrong with it...
 
Its not that you'd be saving $70 as much as you'd be wasting $202. I'm sure the answers that follow me will confirm this as well but those evga cards and quite frankly so many 7900gt's were plagued with issues. Bottom Line: no don't do it.
 
If you return for a refund, there will be a restocking fee (~$30), I am not sure if there is a fee for returning for another of the same, you might want to look into that before you decide to purchase.

BTW ive bought a couple OEM/recert cards off newegg, and of 4, 3 were great.
 
I dunno. It's unlikely that an actual nonfunctioning card would be resold in any fashion.
 
I've seen too many posts about people having 7x00gts that die and artifact due to the plaguing problems they have. They all say they bought them from newegg.com too, some were refurbs and alot of them were on their 3rd card. I wouldn't do it.

3rd or even 4th. The problem however is in no way isolated to a supply received by and thru newegg. Its fundamentally an nvidia issue, as evga is not the only manufacturer who has these problems. Although certainly there's are the most public and pronounced
 
I'm sorry I didn't mean to imply that it was a "newegg only problem", it is in fact a plague on all the NV cards.
