i rma'd my 8800gt 512 256bit got back 6750 1gb 128bit is that a good swap? i thought bit was better than mem

Yeah, thats a pretty good swap. Id take it. The 6750 definitely has a higher resale value over the 8800GT.

I am not sure which is faster but I believe the 6750 is. Either way it uses less power and produces less heat.

I got rid of all my 8800GT's and 9800 GT's a while back after they slowly started dying. I just flipped them all on ebay after getting the RMA's back. Those cards were great while they lasted but damn, I had 2 EVGA 8800GT's die, 1 BFG 8800GT die and a BFG 9800GT die which I was able to luckly return to BestBuy after BFG was out of business. Good riddance.

You definitely got a much better card. DX11 not withstanding, the 5750 is much faster even in DX9/DX10.

Good riddance. I RMA'd my EVGA 9800GT due to TDR drops / no 3D and the one I got back started experiencing the same issues less than a week later.

Those 8800GT / 9800GT's are good cards but got very hot and didn't seem to have proper cooling and TIM spread.

Fortunately I was able to bake mine in the oven, get it working, and then resell it on eBay.

Hmphfff so it wasn't just me who had gfx cards dying left and right.

I hope the lucky fella had a months use out of it.

I just wanted to point out to the OP that the 5750 you are comparing is identical to the 6750 he got. Not everyone knows that the 6750 was a re-badged 5750.

I sold a baked GTX 280 to a friend (for $50... he knew what he was getting) almost a year ago and it's still going strong.
