XFX 7900GTX

[Mathersalan]

Seems that the used card I bought a year ago is having some problems crashing unexpectedly while playing games. It is not a cooling issue, is not overclocked, and, it will artifact with a blank screen rebooting the system. The warranty is still good, nothing has been modified to void it but the main question is that if I send it back to XFX for a replacement card would they send me a new 7900GTX or downgrade like a 9500GT or something like that? Since it is a two year old video card and considered obsolete by now. :(

9600GT is not a downgrade by any means, it spanks your card like a red headed step child.

But anyway most likely the will send you an 8800GTS 320mb or something

[Mathersalan]

Maybe. It's been two days and my support ticket is yet still with technician.

Man go ATI FTW :thup:

[Mathersalan]

Okay think they are sending me an RMA. What you guys think they may send back when I send the 7900gtx? I'm hoping either an 8800gt or 9600.

Be great if you got a GTX 260:p.But your most likely to end up with a 8800GTS 320mb or the 9600

fan boi! In his case, only makes sense if XFX made ATI cards as well :p

Like others said, most likely you'll get 9600GT or 8800GTS 320MB, both of which are better than the 7900GTX.

You should get a card equal or better performance, so I think you will get a 8800 series low end or a 9600gt perhaps.

Yeah unfortunatly XFX dont :(. real shame. I highly doubt that XFX which is such a respected brand would downgrade a faulty card, my bet is the 9600gt
