Unfortunately, I had 1 of my 2 EVGA 980TI FTW die on me and it is being replaced with a 1080 FTW. I built this new rig and purchased the two cards at the same time. of course, I cannot run the 1080 and 980 cards in SLI without suffering major performance loss.   I did check the box that states,  my setup was in SLI configuration when I completed the RMA. I am happy to have the new card, but this leaves me in a bit of a bind.
 
What can be done to rectify this issue? Will EVGA swap the other card? Will I be unable to use my setup as I always have?
 
Thanks for any assistance and information.

    Welcome to the Forum saintthesinner
    They are sending you one card or two?
    You should also get an EAR to return the other Card.

    Thanks. They are sending me one-card for the 980TI that I have already sent to them. 
     
    I still have the 2nd 980TI, which is the one I am wondering what I/they can do with since I cannot use it in SLI as I was.
    Cheers.

    What is shown under Open RMAs?
    You should have a return UPS in the one you are getting to return your Second Card, at lest that is what they did on mine.

    No, I don't have that at all. Almost as if they completely neglected that this was a SLI setup.
    Only UPS i received was for the one I already sent back.
     
    I need to call them and inform them of the situation again because per the RMA info, they were only sending one instead of two.
     
    Cheers

    You should have an Email showing that you did, I just look a two of my RMA's and the one Check SLI shows this in the email from EVGA.
    Check your email for this.

    I am looking at it and it was only for the one card. Maybe someone overlooked that it was a SLI config.
