Purchased a 980TI FTW.  So far, the card itself is very nice.  However, the controller that runs the LED lights doesn't work.  Took the card back out and looking at the 4 pin connector near the two 8 pin...the plug is very wobbly and doesn't feel snug to the PCB.  It actually moves a great deal.  This is probably why the lights don't work.  Overall the card is close to 20% faster than my GTX 980 SC, but I am doing an RMA with EVGA, rather than Newegg, and hopefully receive a brand new card that works.  Hopefully, I don't get a reburb to replace a brand new product...

If you are under 30 days after purchase, you'll get a new replacement.

hi guys
 
so seems the card is available for the division promo in australia with nvidia, now once you get to the page it asks you to sign in with ubisoft uplay. Does this mean it just activates onto your account and you dont actually get a "CD KEY" to keep?

Typically when you buy a card, you'll get the CD key as a separate email. You have to login to uplay to access the game, since it is an UbiSoft game. Once you activate they key, yes it will be linked with your uplay account, and you're free to download and install as many times as you want. 

Let me ask a question.  When I spoke to tech support they said they would ship a card to me in a white box, not in retail packaging.  Is this right?  I am sending in a less than one day old card purchased on 3/28 and installed on 3/31 and am not getting an unopened product for replacement? 

You will get a brand new product still factory wrapped. The white box special is refurbished cards that are sent after the 30 day initial period.

Warranty terms:

All products returned from EVGA's RMA department are thoroughly tested recertified products. If an RMA is necessary within 30 days of the original purchase date, a new in box OEM replacement will be sent in return if the product was purchased new-in-box, subject to availability.

Odd...tech support says no to the unopened shrink wrapped product.  Says that even though the card is new, I get just a card.  Not happy about that.  Might RMA to Newegg..which will take an extra week.  Can't get consistent answers out of the techs

I emailed Jacob for a straight answer.  Hopefully he concurs with you...

Let me know what he says, as the warranty policy is right there showing it will be a brand new box.

On the phone with him now.  Says card is new...just in an OEM box.  Card, with no accessories.

What's sad is the card performs pretty well.  Throwing everything at it and with the Afterburner fan curve I have running...never gets hotter than 70C.  Turbo's to 1430
