They'll most likely give you something on par or slightly better in performance. Companies should never downgrade your card if what you send in is defective.

I wouldn't do an RAM yet as it doesn't sound like the card is faulty, sounds more like a vista driver issue. Have you the latest drivers?

i agree.. it also might be a game issue. I have played a few games that dont want to work on vista.. are your drivers up to date? what games are you trying to play? if it works in xp and not vista, I would think its more a software/driver thing than the card.

XFX replaced my brother-in-law's dead 7900GT with an 8600GTS. The 8600GTS performs better than the 7900GT in some games, but worse in others. I complained a bit, but they had no sympathy.

It's a very known issue 7900's have issues with Vista due to something in the hardware. I've tried all drivers from 6 months ago up to the most recent ones and no go on ANY game new or old.

Just wondering, do you need to use Vista? Could you not go back to XP and save all the hassel?
