Also i installed the ESA software and i noticed there was an option for voltage adjustments for the video card.But it was grayed out.Anyone know a away to unlock this feature for the GTX260/280's?Ive uninstalled it already but if there is a way to mess with voltages in the vga bios via this software i might reinstall it

Be an honest customer and notify them that you have the 'wrong' cards.

Or...just keep it might overclock better

Funny how selfish people can be. If he bought a superclocked card and got a stocked one instead, would he have kept it? I don't think so. It unfair how we blame vendors i these situations for their mistakes and not do the right thing on our part when it comes to stepping up.

returning it and delivering a new one will cost the company far more than if he just keeps it, so they will most likely let him keep it as a kind of customer service anyways..

Things like these happen all the times..

You could try to OC the other one to the same level, or leave it udnerclocked..

The question is: Do you need the extra performance?

 

[ratbuddy]

They probably just binned and BIOSed too many of the OC'd cards. Something similar happened with the initial batch of 8800GT's as well, many 'stock' cards shipped out with the SC BIOS.

Like if you got it from Newegg, its not there problem that it was wrong, but then again it would cost someone a decent amount to ship it back (you), the retailler shipping you a new card, and the retailer getting the card back to the vender.

To much work for a little bios mistake. Might as well keep the card, and call it a day. Why? Because there is no extra material on the card, or higher quality components that would make up for the price difference.

I had an EVGA 8800GT card shipped direct from them with a 650/1625/950 bios. Well I didn't order that one, I ordered a stock plain 8800GT, not the SC version which is what I got. Packaging was for the 8800GT Standard. Many others had the same case as this one. Its not my fault, and for $10 extra that they charge for the card, it doesn't pay to spend an extra $10-20 to ship a new one out and a ****ed off customer that would have to pay for shipping on the way back.

Im not sending it back.It just not worth it plus no were on the card does it say its a superclock.Not even the box.Evga just flashed it with the wrong bios.Thats all i can figure.I said the one with the 576 bios OCed much better.But it wasnt the case.They OC about the same
