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.

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.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

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
