And I can testify that they honor the lifetime warranty with incredible customer service. My cards were victims of the far eastern electrolytic capacitor caper, where a long-time employee of the world's leading producer stole the plans and sold them to a competitor. Unfortunately for the criminals, the victim had altered the chemical composition of the electrolyte so that it was unstable over time. The capacitors worked fine for a period of months and then......boom!
First one card went boom...
I had no idea whether I had done something wrong or not. They could have told me anything because I didn't know about the Asian espionage yet. I bought my cards before the lifetime warranty, but they said, "send it in and we'll be glad to send another."
Three weeks later, on the day I received the replacement, I heard a sound like the cracking of the whip from hell. After changing my underwear
, I found the second card had blown a single capacitor. Back to the ole RMA procedure again.
This time for my trouble I received a free upgrade to a 7900GS. There went my SLI setup! But the single card was slightly faster than two 7600GTs and lowered my power drain.
You can't ask for better customer service than that!
Put me down as a vote for the EVGA 8800GT.
