Well it depends if its within the RMA period specified by MSI?

Should be a 3 year warranty.

In all likelihood MSI will send you an equivalent performance or better card, so you'll likely end up with something like a 660TI or 760.

thanks for feedback.

arent those 2GB cards?

i bought a 3GB for a reason.

2GB would be no good...

You'll need to let msi/ocuk know that...you may get a partial refund.

You can get 3Gb 660Ti cards.

But wont MSI be likely to RMA to the address on the receipt if you have it? You may need the original owner to RMA on your behalf.

Any partial refund is likely to be peanuts based on the age of the card.

If its one of these cards then you should be ok if its a 3 year warranty, if its only 2 years its just run out in june

thats the one.

u thnk they'd be willing to offer me a 7970 ?

 

[pgi947]

Haha absolutely not.

You could ask if you pay x amount towards a 7970 they might.

Unfortunately replacement cards are replaced like for like in performance not like for like in the original retail value of the card.

I would ask for a Titan

looks like a 760 will have to do then

 

[pgi947]

Get 760, leave it boxed as new, sell as so and put towards something better with the desired memory?
