So got my rma completed and shipping back to me super excited. So I just have a question I searched and searched but can't seem to find an answer. When gpus get fixed do they recieve a new serial number I am just really curious. So the only info I have on my rma is the new serial number and model number. The model number is the same which I excepted was never thinking I was going to get an upgrade just super happy I'm getting a replacement but from the research I've gathered the first 2 numbers in the serial number are the year manufactured if this is true the first 2 of mine are 24 and I know unfortunately you guys no longer make gpus. So basically my question is is it possible I'm getting a new gpu instead of a refurbished one I know that's most likely not the case that would so extremely awesome my guess is that the fixed refurbished cards are issued a new serial number. Just wondering the wait is killing me can't wait to get back to gaming and see the card.

Awesome thank you so much for the reply I was just really curious how that worked I couldn't find an answer anywhere I assumed they would just keep the same serial but it would be on file saying that it has been fixed I didn't know if they would issue a whole new serial very interesting thank you
