I wanna get the card in the title. how do i know if its the 128bit or the 256bit doesnt say and i heard that those cards are out thier? i dont want the crappy 9800pro. is neweggs return policy just as god with the refurb cards?
 
The picture shows it has the L-shaped memory, which is the trademark of a 256bit bus. So as long as they ship you what's in the picture, then you're ok. Might wanna take a snapshot of the page for reference though, just in case they try to pull one on ya :p.
 
No, some manufacturers are selling a 128-bit "Pro" version, but it SHOULD be noted that its a 128-bit card. IF IT is DONT get one.

I bought a refurbished ti4200 a while back and it was screwed up. I'm 100% sure it was that way when they sent it to me. And with refurbished stuff there's a restocking fee. I noticed it was shipped from some one else in California, not the usual Newegg address. So newegg may not have known it was a bunk card, that a vendor of theirs was probably trying to unload for a little money.

Now, I'm very wary of buying refurbished stuff. Especially since you only have like 10 days to return to. I actually wasnt ready to build the system that it was supposed to go in yet. But luckily I tested it first in my main rig, just to make sure it worked.

Normally, Newegg is great, but be careful about reburshed stuff. I dont think it always comes from them either. (maybe from a refurbish/repair shop)
