RMA'ed my EVGA 7900GS last week after it took a crap and got an 8800GTS 320 in the mail today as a replacement. Thanks EVGA!

Well, I'm a bit disappointed after I just RMA'd my 7900gs to XFX and got a 8600GTS apparently.

Yeah, I don't plan on complaining to XFX, I think some titles MIGHT take a small performance hit from using an 8600GTS over the 7900GS, but it's cool. I asked them if I could upgrade to like an 8800GS for 20 dollars more or so. No response thus far though.as long as the card isn't less powerful than the original you've got no grounds to complain i think?
They'll only give you something better if what you sent in they don't have anymore. They have to replace it with a 'on par' card for the money at that time that you bought it. IE, 7800GS is a low/mid, they replace it with modern low/mid card, which happens to always be better.Wow, I hope my 8800GT does crap out. I may get lucky and get a 9800GX2. LoL
I don't think they will do that due to the bureaucracy. It's still good as it is now. They are a company that is trying to build up a good reputation, and they are!Yeah, I don't plan on complaining to XFX, I think some titles MIGHT take a small performance hit from using an 8600GTS over the 7900GS, but it's cool.

I think if they know you run SLi, you could send both in and they would return a comparable single card, but maybe not. Maybe they'll send you an 8800GTS 320mb or something similar, and you'll have a 7900GT left over to sell, that'd be pretty cool. Good luck with that.
Well, the other card is eVGA, so it's doubtful. I can only hope they send me an 8800, I'd happily ebay the extra 7900GTI think if they know you run SLi, you could send both in and they would return a comparable single card, but maybe not.

I would've been happy with the same card I sent in, but I got an 8600.Going EVGA doesn't guarantee free upgrades on card returns, but I recommend them anyway. Just don't get disappointed if you receive the same model card that you sent in...
