EVGA is, like, the worst company on earth, man.
1. Do not give me any of that "speed-binning" crap. We get overclocks and unlockable pipes on some cards simply because the silicon fairy rewards good little fanboys and girls, not because of any stupid, so-called "manufacturing realities."
2. This is all nVidia's fault. Lately they've been getting away with murder by making crap cards. How dare they produce 7900-model chips that only work at stock speeds! They should have realized that manufacturers, like EVGA, who does not like the silicon fairy, would be selling them retail at insane overclocks.
3. We know that these cards are refurbs. How do we know? Um, like, we just do, man. So there! I mean, it's not like any manufacturer is going to be left with an excess of 7900GTX boxes just because they've got a lot of 7900GTX cards that can't be sold as such. How dare they put a sticker on a worthless GTX box to make it a usable GTO box?! This is unreal.
Well, I don't know about you, but as for me, EVGA can take their evil, profit-loving, fairy-hating business somewhere else. I won't be buying any of these new, sold-as-new, not-advertised-as-something-they-can't-deliver cards. Heck, they probably don't even overclock 10% anyway. Cheapskates! ATI FTW!
