NewEgg's got the new eVGA 7900GT's in and has pulled the old cards.

[Brahmzy]

This sucks...I JUST bought an "OLD" 7900GT KO from them 2 nights ago. If only I would've waited 2 nights, I'd have gotten a new card sent to me. Argh. I think I'll return it as soon as I get it.

Better yet, just RMA to evga, very fast service and it won't cost you a penny.....I'm absolutely certain they want everyone to have a problem-free card anyway....

If you can send in 2 of those rebates I guess so. Quite a deal.

You guys are crazy buying non-eVGA 790GT's - with all of these issues and lack of customer support from all of the other vendors? Russian roulette.

Buying an EVGA 7900 Series is playing Russian Roulette as well. I have lost that game THREE times so far...

It's just you....

4. Offer limited to one rebate per MSI part number/name/receipt/invoice/UPC label/household.

you can only get the rebate on one card.

$490 still isn't bad though...

Except now eVGA fixed their cards. What has anybody else done? Nothing.

eVGA has stayed ontop of this problem unlike others.

There are still a lot of people out there with broken 7900's that EVGA has NOT fixed yet. I would avoid the 7900 series entirely until there is absolute proof the problems have been resolved.

My faith in the 7900 series was shattered after I received my THIRD BAD card. I will not be buying another Nvidia card for a while.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck with your 7 Series card.

All those people have to do is RMA them one last time. The problem is fixed and all those with problems will get a working card.

Wow that sucks, is this isolated to eVGA 7900s or are all 7900s having failure issues? I hope my laptop 7900 doesn't die on me!

 

[Brahmzy]

It's happening to all any manufacturers that sell their 7900GTs.

 

[steelsnake]

The problems seem to impact all 7900 series cards. Not just GT's. Not just the overclocked versions either.

Just in case anyone hasn't read it yet:
