I have cash burning in my wallet and this card is OOS everywhere. I had to cancel a pending sale on my 6950 because of its unavailability!

Yep, I don't get the fascination with them. EVGA cards are no different or any more special than, say Sapphire or MSI for example. The only benefit to them is the warranty, I guess. Oops, they're only 3 years for the new cards now. Guess that makes them like any of the other vendors.

They have been going in and out of stock, I checked a few times yesterday and today.
And various models were posted.
I jump over to newegg business and they show 20+ in stock.
Then minutes later they are gone. They are the hot item right now.
Use the auto-notify and keep checking your email or get a alert to your phone ?

dammit missed the regular versions. You are right, the prices of most cards went up by at least 10 bucks...I dont like EVGA cards myself. Hoping the MSI would come back in stock sometime.

edit: ordered the zotac 680..lets see if it goes through.

Sapphire warranty is 2 years and non-transferable. EVGA is 3 years transferable with the option to buy an extended warranty. EVGA allows you to look up the exact amount of warranty left in days on your card. No need to play serial number decoder to figure it out. EVGA has free RMA cross-shipping now. Something other companies only offer after receiving 1 or more DOA cards or not at all. Evga often offers freebies like the free high flow bracket or a free game(like they did with Mafia 2 and Metro 2033) when they have extras to registered owners. Considering EVGA cards cost roughly the same price as the other companies what is not to like there?

I guess I should've said my EVGA experience was about 3 weeks long with a 570. Nice to know this stuff though, learned a little at OC.net about this too lol. Nice :p
