Diary Of A Gamer

My video card RMA was a seemingly long & tedious wait. I mean, I sent it out on Monday, and I had it back Friday, and that was great. It just seemed very long due to no Tabula Rasa or PC usage. I’m usually on the PC, if not the game, almost every night. Instead, my PS3 got lots of attention, and I still plan to pay it some much needed attention.

When my UPS package was sitting by the counter Friday night, I was excited. I opened it up, hoping they had done something for it. Maybe give me a faster 7900gt, or a 512mb card, or something. But even if it was my 7900gt, that’s all I was expecting. I guess that’s why I was stunned when I opened the box up, and un-packed the card. This replacement was a two-slotter, and it piqued my interest, so I unwrapped away. All I could say was “wow”.

They replaced my 7900gt 256mb OC card, with an 8800gts 320mb OC card!!! 

To say I was astonished is appropriate. This is a huge upgrade for me, as it’s basically what I would have gotten if the 7900gt didn’t have a lifetime warranty. Thank you BFG!  Remember, I bought the original card 2nd-hand from eBay back in June of 2007, RMA’d it due to defects then, then just RMA’d it again due to defects starting to show again.  I’m glad I didn’t jump on a new card.  The wife was right in telling me to wait.  I knew I should wait.  I just didn’t think they’d actually give me a better card, but hey, no complaints here!

I can honestly say that I will continue to buy BFG stuff, as they’ve shown me time and again that they take care of their customers.
