Hmm yep, definitely looks like the 55nm is longer. If its that tight then you probably would be better off with the 65nm. Who knows, you might get lucky and get a 65nm 216 back. Some threads I saw on the 192SP close-out sales showed people getting c216s.

OH yeah, I forgot about that happening.

FYI this has always been the case with evga's step-up. You never could step-up to a limited availability card, e.g. 8800gtx ultra, or overclocked editions.

I stepped up two vanilla 7800GTXes to two 7800GTX KOs. This was back in 2005.

I hope you registered your warranty with EVGA within 30 days of purchase, or you aren't getting an RMA...

EVGA Warranty is still 1 year even if you don't register within 30 days.

Personally I'd be disappointed if I had to pay more for a factory overclocked card - having access to the cheaper vanilla cards is a good thing.

I was all set to step my 260 192 core Superclocked up to a 260 55nm SSC when I found out I can only step up to vanilla cards. Im assuming that would be a decent framerate drop even though it has the additional cores.

Probably end up the same performance. More cores, less MHz. IMO not worth your extra money. Just RMA the card for the issues you are having and thus you just have to pay shipping one way instead of shipping both ways and the extra money.

Do you think EVGA does anything different that would make their overclock better than one you did yourself?

Yes, they probably bin the cards.

I did that the day I received the card.

I dont register a product or send off for rebates until I keep it for a couple weeks and know that its what I want and it works perfectly.

Im kicking myself for sending the rebate in on the PSU I picked up because it was DOA.
