RMA replacement for x1950Pro?

[zedzed]

Hello people

I bought a "Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI" card from OC several months ago - and it's been RMA'd due to "sparklies" when temp gets above 63 degrees. ATITools artifact checker knackers my screen in about 20 seconds!

Anyway - OC don't sell that card any more - so how do I know if what they offer me will be the equivalent card? Should I worry if the memory speed of the "new" card is 1.2GHz instead of 1.4Ghz, for example?

Thanks,
Dez

p.s. Despite an assurance via email that OC have received my card and are processing the RMA the "RMA history" section of my account on the website still says "Waiting to receive this item". Should I be worried?
