I've got a PNY 7900GT. Should I return it and get an EVGA 7900GT?

I WILL be voltmodding whichever card I end up with. I'm looking to overclock.

I love eVGA's warranty... :-D

All the reviews of 7900GTs I've read on the web have said that nobody is deviating from Nvidia's reference design on their cards much, if any. So I'd guess the only differences would be intangibles like warranty and game bundle, and whatever speed binning happens to the chips themselves. if EVGA's is stock-clocked higher then maybe they binned their stockpile of 7900 GPUs for better ones than PNY is using on average...?

nah

Sounds good. The warranty is something to be desired, but then again PNY's 3 year (1 year + 2 if you register the card) is enough methinks. As long as none of them are deviating from the reference design. I've heard things though about the first batches of 7900GT's not overclocking well or something?

my pny 7900 gtx is actually a better overclocker than my evga one

The PNY card is the same as the Reference card but with PNY stickers & BIOS on it. It should be just as good as the rest.
