step up program= BAD

**~~Syrringe~~** · 05-12-08, 09:23 AM

BLAH BLAH BLAH BULLSHIT. When a product is stepped up....EVGA refurbs the one you sent back IF IT NEEDS IT.....then sells it to Newegg or another 3rd party vendor at a ridiculous price, then they turn and sell it for a profit.

Evga doesnt just stick the new ones in a box....are you kidding me

That'd be obvious on a scale large enough for the company to be shut down......DO YOU WORK FOR EVGA? BFG? Or are you mad cuz you gota wrinkled static bag?

As far as OC'ing and voiding warranty....WRONG again. Nowhere on evga's site under their "Void Warranty Policy" does it say OC'in voids warranty. I just stepped up from an 8800 gts 512 to a new 9800 gtx 512 for $7. I oc'd the SHIt out of my 8800 and they said nothing. You know why?? b/c they are going to sell it to newegg or another site to resell as a REFURB,...they go back in the cards bios and make sure it is set back to normal speeds....solder on a new capacitor or 2 then, poof, you have a refurb on newegg.com. etc.....

How do I know this

It's called calling evga and asking them yourself.......while i was on teh phone with the guy, asking what i need to do to finalize my step up, i asked him that question, "So where's my 8800 going?" And thats the answer i got.

Are you sure you didnt accidentally buy a refurb?

Bad mouthing evga is like bad mouthing my mamma. Its just wrong.

P.S. 687 peak fps in CS video stress test on max w/ the new 9800 on stock cpu and gpu speeds. :9

That is one awesome fps Syrringe. You should come play COD4 with that type of hardware that you've got.

totally white...i get 100-150 in cod on very high settings....but when i turn antistropic on past 2x...like 4x or 8x....drops down to 60-90. Ill be back in full swing eventually...still coping with the recent bullshit, working out some anger issues (surprise!), still trying to get promoted @ work etc..... ill hop in tonight if theres people on.

I play fine with 40 fps, and Tenrou somehow makes it by with 20 (I have no clue how). When you're back in full swing, make sure to stop by. We have enough regs to get a full 12 vs 12 thing going.

If all you did was get mad then youd be an idiot.

If you bought a 'New' card and not a open box or refurb model and did in fact get a refurbished part (which I have heard of happening with all kinds of hardware such as PC components, TV, XBOXs and so on - it happens more than any retailer or manufacture will admit) you should have absolutely no problem exchanging it.

Newegg has outstanding customer service marks for a damn good reason, because they provide outstanding customer service.

If you insist on spending 10,15, 25% more per hardware bit simply because your not going to stand up and demand the product you purchased, well thats entirely your prerogative. B ut you better be ready to be disappointed as there is no greater or lesser chance of you getting a refurbished part from BestBuy, circuit city, frys, amazon or from Newegg.

Bad mouthing the entirely stepup program because your worried about getting used when you buy new and not being willing to return it for the correct product does not mean the system is bad, it means your going about being a consumer entirely incorrectly.

Newegg is amazing! As far as EVGA goes, I have never had a problem and they have great customer service too!

step up=pwned.
