If I could combine eVGA's warranty with a Radeon card, I think I'd be happy right now

Maybe you're from a region other than the Americas, but from their warranty page: http://xfxforce.com/en-us/help/support/WarrantyInformation.aspx ** XFX has carefully selected the optimal thermal or fansink component for your graphics card model. We do not encourage the removal of components...

This might be too much to ask, but can you add whether the manufacturers support aftermarket coolers? I know XFX will allow it if you notify them beforehand.

I had a glass full of low fat milk and want full fat milk, but full fat milk isn't released yet. I could keep drinking water until it gets released, but then I wouldn't have milk. Should I satisfy my thirst with water, or will the advent of full fat milk be worth the wait? :rolleyes: At...

Reference means it uses a design that is supplied by the chip (ATI/nVidia) designer. If you compare all "reference" designs, they all look identical except for maybe some coloring or labeling.

If you're capable of waiting, the Corsair 550D is coming out the week of March 10th.

If you're considering the Asus, just a heads up! http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2228553

I AM NOT A CLEVER MAN. Others: I will probably just play SC2 on the lowest setting and then allow myself to be blown away when Kepler returns. It seems like EVGA's step-up program isn't fast enough to meet my needs. Thank you all for your replies.

I always sell off my old cards. :( I figure...no point in keeping old tech around the house...otherwise I might just end up with 10 perfectly fine graphic cards, but nothing to do with them. :p

I didn't say I gamed on the IGP, only that I'm using it. Right now, I'm playing my games either on lowest settings, or not at all. I sold both cards because crossfirex didn't fill my needs with a multimonitor setup. I wanted to be able to SLI/CrossfireX while in windowed mode, but apparently...

I'd plunge on a 7970, but I'm trying to stay away from Radeon. I just came from x-fired 6870s and I'm moving to Team Green for this generation.

If there's a zombie apocalypse, I'm using nature's ice picks: MY FISTS.

Hi all, I sold off my graphics cards, and now I'm stuck using the on board graphics built into the i5-2500K. I was thinking about buying an EVGA gtx 580 and then using the step-up program when/if Kepler comes out. Of course, I'd want to step-up to a 680, but I don't know/I'm not sure if it...

Seems like the deal is dead. Not working for me.

Have you tried contacting Amazon? They are generally pretty good about taking care of their customers, even if it's sold by a third party.
