I bought a eVga 7800GT from the egg, and quickly found it to be either defective, or not up to par for what I expected from a 7800GT. The graphics were like nothing I had ever seen, but any time I got into some heavy gaming, it would spit and sputter horribly. I called their tech support and that is where things went down hill. Now, I am a very calm person by nature, but what this guy reccommended me do was basically, "Take two asprin and call me in the morning", made me a little vocal, and is actually what started my rant, (his actual words are not important). I called again and the next guy was a great help. he went through my system, and ended up recommending me to RMA my card. I told him to let me try a few things and I would call back if my troubles continued. I ended up calling back the following day and spoke to a third guy that was very helpful, just like the second guy. He had no problems starting the RMA, and he did. I hang up the phone, and then I do what my wifes says I shouldn't do. I started thinking. I get this bright idea to send them an email requesting that I go ahead and pay the difference and upgrade to a 7800GTX. They replied that I needed to call them. I did, and they said "No". Now, I was fine with the no, and I really didn't expect them to say yes anyhow, but it sent me over the edge when I had to wait on hold for 10 minutes for them to tell me no. Why couldn't they have just emailed me the "No" answer? A bunch of back and forth later, between calling them, and emails I started showing my but. That is not saying eVga had done anything wrong up to this point. More of, I was trying to streamline the entire RMA, and I felt it was very simple to do, but I guess they are one of few companies that have a protocol that they stand by. A constantly changing protocol, isn't a protocol now is it.

As for eVga, Aside from the first CS Tech I spoke with, they were all very helpful and patient when dealing with me, and the product I now have is awesome! I highly recommend eVga. Their products are the fastest there is right now, and their Customer Support is there to help/correct any problems you might have with their products.
