Since these are discontinued, what are the chances of me getting a free upgrade to an 8800GT? I've read about this happening to people in the past and I was hoping maybe I would get lucky.

You'll actually get... Oh... Did you say 320mb? My bad...

I'm getting a revision 2 GTS640 for mine.

I'd say your chances of getting a GT are pretty good.

You will more than likely get an 8800GTS 320mb back, they've only just been discontinued. They will have plenty of old stock

You can RMA 7950GTs and recieve a 7950GT back still, they keep stock for a while after their discontinued.

Argh...I was hoping for a free upgrade. I might leave it in the box when I get it back from RMA, sell it here, and upgrade to a GT. I don't think the 320mb is going to fair that well in Crysis.

Since it's an RMA, maybe they'd be willing to bend the rules and let you step up to a GT anyways? Their email support, at least their RMA email support, seems to be quick.

They're pretty lenient but I doubt they would let you RMA and step up at the same time.

UPDATE: The 8800GTS now comes bundled with Crysis.

I've already been approved for a revision 2 8800GTS 640. I would imagine Crysis will also be in the box.

if it's an rma, from my experience, nothing is in the box, just the card
