Having problems with your 7900 card?
Source: Hardocp
________________
Hardocp published a very interesting article today after speaking with Nvidia and some company representatives who sell preoverclocked Nvidia 7900 series cards. It appears some of them may be pushing the limits a little too far.
It certainly makes you wonder if Nvidia should have had more control over this situation in the first place.

Definately so, it's always nice to see if third party vendors can get a little more performance out of the hardware available but i would be pretty upset if I spent £300-£400 on a premium card only to have to RMA it 2-3 weeks later.

I am glad i got the stock speed 7900 GT... honestly i play with OC for benching but other then that i find almost no game i want OC to get any more FPS as the card already runs very well at stock speeds!

ncix.com in Canada has some good news
Quote:
Just a note about recent shipment quality.
While some earlier batches of EVGA 7900 GTs had higher than normal RMA rates according to EVGA (if your board has no visible problems, it's all OK!), they asked us to send back old batches for re-testing and re-certification.
As of earlier this week, all 7900 GT products from EVGA are from the "new" replacement shipment and should have no problems at all.
As usual, EVGA was very proactive with us in making sure even "higher than normal RMAs" issues were fixed even before there were more problems. Kudos to EVGA on this...
