 just needed a place to rant
so I have just ordered a computer for a friend of mine and to make it cheaper for him(and give me an excuse to upgrade my video card), I ordered a video card for my computer and he is buying mine
I ordered last night and was notified that it had shipped today, right afterwords, I checked newegg, and low and behold the card that I wanted was back in stock...(I should have waited, but I didn't know when the card would be back in stock, and that would have left one of us w/o a gpu)
here's the card that has been shipped
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150339
and here's the one that I wanted, but wasn't in stock at the time of ordering
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102815
should I RMA the card when I get it and order the sapphire? or do you folks think I should just try the card out?
thanks in advance for the input

RMA and get yourself a 280.

It was probably one of the worst $209 investments I've ever made. I find it is extremely hard to play video games with a giant dick in your ass.

truth

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.

It's only $25. You'll spend about $10 shipping it back. You spend another $10 on shipping for the new card to your house. You'll lose the $10 you paid for shipping on the original card. What's the point of RMA'ing it?

the xfx has a stock heatsink, the sapphire has a non-reference design which keeps the card quite a bit cooler, also I have only gone sapphire with my ati cards and have never had even one small complaint

yeah... I think I will just try out the xfx card and see how it handles... I was just kinda po'd this morning when I went to check how the order was going and the card that I had wanted was now back in stock...
the anger from this "rant post" has now subsided Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_17

I knew someone would get me... but I think I am going to keep the XFX card for now and see how it works out... the $20 off of the Sapphire card is also no longer available, which means the prices are almost exactly the same now.
