    Love EVGA

    Last week I received a replacement for a GTX 465. Installed it and had a no boot problem. Turns out the card was bad. Had to Do a second RMA with the return paid for by EVGA. Just looked at the RMA process for the one I sent back and noticed that they are sending a GTX 470 in return. Great except I run an SLI and a 465-470 just won't work.

    Talked to EVGA and within a couple of minutes had the decision from Tech support to have me return the other 465 from my computer and they will replace it with a GTX 470. Should be a nice upgrade and when I get it I will be able to do SLI again. The only problem is that turn around time is 2 weeks.

    That's what I call customer service.

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    Now THAT is what I call 1st rate customer service. Congrats on the nice upgrade. I'll have to keep EVGA in mind for the future.

    Wow. That is very awesome of them! As long as you have the PSU oomph to do it, you can O/C the 470 shaders quite high and get some crazy credits out of those beasts!

    Sparkle did the same thing for me, I bought 3 460's from the Company & the Fan's went bad on all 3 within 6 month's. I ended up with 2 470's & a 480 as replacements that I'm still running ...

    I would love to get some 480's but I am happy to settle for another 470 for now. Let's see....can I make my 460 fail. Maybe a 3rd 470? All 3 would go into my XFX 3 way SLI board with the Q6600. Then I would have to get 2 of something for my Asus SLI board. Just one problem, if I bought 2 more gpu's the wife would kill me without asking any questions.

    They would like you to believe that...but they rarely do it. I give you a 70% chance of survival. Sometimes you just have to take the risk.

    Still for me the guys form XFX support are legends. However, I 'just' got a full refund for my broken 5970 in Europe. Fair deal though.
