    When you get an RMA you get a refurb.

    It was DOA. Shouldn't be a new replacement in 30 days?

    Yes, I think it should be a new replacement and for that reason with reports like this I no longer am committed to EVGA BUT, one advantage should be that the replacement care, being refurbished should be a known working device.

    Not always, depends on inventory.

    Yep, looks like a refurb. Gotta love that subject to availability line in the warranty. 🤬

    Less than 30 days and you may have got a refurb. 🤬

    Is there a penalty for returning the card for RMA without the packaging?

    You don't need the original packaging for RMA.
    Mine was DOA, so I shipped everything back in original packing. But instead I got a refurbished :(
