Nice.. Well, let's hope XFX looks at what eVGA is doing, with their hardware fixes, and does something similar..

We're still not experiencing issues.

You have been WARNED..G'luck & have phun.......
That's the thing - it's not a case of net hysteria..I could agree with you, say given a hypothical n00b buying a gt b/c of some magazine article, and/or people RMAing for RMA's sake..But the fact remains that there have been way too many of us being affected with the various issues with our cards to be a phantom problem.Nice article. I am still having a hard time believing this whole thing - kept thinking it was just one of those net hysteria things - with all kinds of noobies having phantom problems. Hope it gets worked out, as could be a real disaster for the companies involved.
kush said:[edit] @ Mutant - that's what eVGAs doing..
http://www.evga.com/7900.asp - fill that out, they will e-mail you a CC authorization .PDF for cross-shipment..You send it back, and they either email or call - you can ask them to pre-test with your choice of apps (ie 3dPenis 06/Oblivion/etc) before shipment (or they may be doing this automatically anyway). Then you send in your old card..Probably give you 2-4 weeks, so you could certainly test the new one before sending in the old one.
mutant said:Jesus! I filled the form and it says "serial number" not found! WTF! I copied it exactly as it is listed on the rectangle stuck to the back of the card. The rectangle with X shaped cuts so people can't lift the sticker in one piece. I copied the S/N: XXXXXX...
What do I do now? Could be that I need to enter the European EVGA website.
Hi,
Ive added it to our queue.

x1900XT would probably be your best bet. Plus it generally costs less then a 7900GTX.So my question is what do I get instead? 2 x 7600 in SLI, an X1900XT ? What do you think - I really don't want to spend shedloads more. Suggestions welcome.

I would to see a list on what cards are having the most problems. It seems like most of the XFX owners got lucky with this one.
excelguy said:It appears that once artifacts/lockc start (even at stock speeds) the damage is done, and downclocking makes no difference.
I'm glad I did buy a 7900GT. It really rocks. Plus it was only a $25 upgrade from my old 7800GT after I sold it.David_L6 said:I'm glad that I didn't buy one of the 7900 series cards.
Blue Falcon said:I had already measured the core voltage of this new card to be 1.45v. That's a pretty big jump from the 1.2v on the original 7900GT.
