Last spring, I tried the XFX 7800GS card, and had nothing but problems with it. Mostly firmware issues, (later versions supposed to be much better) but rather than RMA it back to XFX, I explained the issue to NewEgg, and RMA'd it back to them, then replaced it with a VisionTek X850XT-PE card. I'm having several issues with the 850, and (after troubleshooting via numerous e-mails) VisionTek has recommended RMA'ing the card...(sheesh...again!) So, I'm considering RMA'ing the card to NewEgg (again...still within the 1 year timeframe) and since the X850XT-PE is no longer available thru NewEgg, trying the BFG 7800GS...opinions? Should I just send the card to VisionTek on their lifetime warranty/RMA? Or swap it out through NewEgg? (Since I paid $300 for the card originally, and the new card is only $205 after rebate, I suspect I"ll get back the difference...which would be a nice bonus...I'm not trying to screw NewEgg on this, and they've always been very fair and even generous in my dealings with them...
Whatcha think?
