lol... if only you guys ran newegg...
Honestly - how much better would it be?? I know there are issues, but ***t does happen - and they resolved yours fairly well. I know there's still that 9800 deal, but.......Quote:

yeah, i am happy with the resolution I got. i maybe got alittle too hot under the collar about this whole thing, but to me $249 is a big deal. all is well in my universe, just hope this doesn't happen to others.
Appearantly you can plug it in, and run benchmarks and get a whopping 300 points lower, making it effectively like a Geforce 2 MX cardQuote:

I was just wondering if people could OC these cards without any problems, but it sounds like people are getting artifacts pretty quickly.
Newegg said i can only exchange my 9800 for the same exact one, or one of a higher price...so i'm still kind of screwed there. Next thing up i'd go for would be the Powercolor, since i want something more guaranteed. Doesn't seem like it'd be worth the $70+ though =/
Aren't you in the same position that Titus was?? Go kick some ***!!Quote:

(More easily said than done, I'll admit...)
I guess i can argue a bit more *sigh*. Did they just give you a full refund, Titus?
So how bad is the 300 point drop from a BBA 9800 NP card? Is the performance drop that bad?
Do the math. 300 on 20,000. And 100-150's pretty near a test variance....Quote:

Red pcb, black pcb...
There was no ATI vs Sapphire mistake... ATI does use both pcb colors sometimes...
yeah, they gave me a full refund plus $5 for my trouble of shipping the card back
My 9800 from newegg is waiting for me at my doorstep (Im stuck at work till 6:00 pm pacific)
Im pretty sure it will be the black pcb version. Im also sure that newegg will be closed by the time I get home.
So I will have a whole night to stare at this card. It will be very hard to resist throwin it in to see what it can/can't do.
I guess what Im wondering is: will newegg give me any kind of extra leverage for a return if they can tell that I've never used the card? (as in it could still be sold as new)
tituswolf: do you have any suggestions on what to say to newegg? I don't really want a 'refurb' in replacement, I would prefer a refund. Did they give you that option as well?
Thanks.
Just put it in and use it. Some people are really anal. Then there are normal people. I'm sure it will work real nice, and play games good too. Don't even run a benchmark, it might be 2 or 3 points lower than you expect, then it becomes a big hassle for you and for everyone.Quote:
