I feel so naked, lonely, empty inside. I had, tonight, my first graphics card blow out. I got to witness my GTX 780 literally catch on fire. I've read stories, heard rumors of this kind of thing happening but ya never really think it could happen you.
Anyway, playing WoW tonight my computer just shut off and then a second later saw two little flames come up off my card. It had to happen on a Friday... but lucky for me it happened 1 hr before Zotac closed for the weekend so I contacted someone and got the RMA info out. Thank god I built my fiance a computer about a year ago...
I've never actually had to RMA a card before. Are the cards one receives normally new, used, the same model? I've heard people sometimes get a model above their card. Could I end up with a TI or a 970? I think I've RMA one other thing in my span of 13 years building computers. So not knowledgeable in this process.
Anyway, breaking open the Jameson to forget about this scaring imaging.
