I sent my 970 in last week for an RMA and the tracking on the postage said it was delivered tuesday 12th and I have been checking my open rma on the website since then and its just been saying "Next Step: Preparing to Ship Product" so I didn't know will this take much longer as I've had to revert to using and old gtx 650 and its garbage for gaming lol. Thanks sorry if I'm just being impatient just desperately want to be running games at more than 30fps again.

Ah thanks for clearing that up for me Jamloki just glad I'm not alone. And yeah I should be glad for what I've got. Hopefully mine will be coming in this week aswell then have to wait and see. 

Yeah I did, yesterday my RMA has changed status to shipped although the tracking number is still left blank so whether or not it has been shipped I don't know. I'm yet to receive any emails to confirm its been shipped, I assume they'd send you one when it does ship.
