Its really nice to see a company who is more worried about keeping customers happy than their bottom line

EVGA's standard warranty is 1 year. If you have a TR or T1 product number, the product gets an additional 1 year if registered within 30 days of purchase. For other product numbers, they get a lifetime warranty if registered within 30 days of purchase.

I meant a 1 year warranty only if you don't register within the 30 days like CorryBasler said, sorry if I didn't clarify that when I posted

Wait, no registration still yields 1 year warranty?

I was pretty worried, thanks Duckie.

Does BFG still allow overclocking on their warranty? I think EVGA and XFX does but im not sure about BFG.

I sent my 7900gt to bfg on monday of this week and they shipped out the replacement card an hour after they received mine. They shipped it priority and I received it on friday. To my surprise I got an 8800gts 640 oc.

I was amazed, I was expecting like a 9600gt but I was thrilled. Not only is it an 8800gts but it is the newer revision of the g80 core.

Now I just have to decide whether to keep my 8800gs and sell this card or return the 8800gs and keep this card.

I think the 8800gts will be a bottleneck on my current system but I plan on buying a budget sli c2d and 2 8800gts in sli would be faster than two 8800gs in sli, I would imagine. any suggestions are encouraged.
