Hi, I'm sending my 980Ti Classified 2.0+ for rma and i'm wondering, will i get a 980Ti, 1070,1070Ti or even a 1080?
and if i where to get a 1070/Ti, what model would i get ( sc, ftw etc)?
 
Thanks in advance,
Jakub

    theres a few posts on this and all answered different ?
     
    I guess it comes down to what evga has available to send out as a replacement .
     
    some get 10 series cards and some get back a direct replacement or another  980ti  [next closest thing ?? / refurbished something ]
     
    this can be discussed with there support guy you deal with  when there approval  of the rma goes through  .
     
    anyway that's what I seen from older posts on this question  ...   may try to look back on then for your self  here

    I read almost all available threads. I am still very confused.
    It looks like a lot depends on happy luck. I'm little afraid to get a regular 1070 in place of Classified, I would be totally happy to get at least 1070Ti which may not have so many extras but it is several % faster.

    ''It looks like a lot depends on happy luck. I'm little afraid to get a regular 1070 in place of Classified''
     
    YA, ??
     
    like the last 2 posts from here ??
     
    https://forums.evga.com/Rubbish-RMA-service-980ti-OC-replaced-m2682112.aspx
     
    in the end it all in there court   , you take what they offer or do with out  like it or not  I guess    they could as easy turn down a RMA  and leave you holding the bag ???
     
     
    I guess a little bit of something is better then a lot of nothing ,  just see what they offer and shrug shoulders and move on .  know better next time and add that to your experiences .   just talk it out with your service rep on something satisfactory  you can live with

    just to add if you look at there product pages there are no 900 series available at all  new or B-stock/ refurbished  ???  I would think your chances  of a 10 series goes up somewhat  for a replacement card ???

    Yeah, better working 1070 than dead 980Ti . I do not think EVGA will refuse to replace card, I had a positive experience with their service.
    On stock clocks 1070 is tiny better than stock 980Ti, but Classified is premium priced because of OC features and designed for pretty heavy OC (dual bios, lot of pwm phases, better cooler etc.). So when it comes to the situation of maximum performance that can be achieved, 980Ti shows the advantage. Find on youtube movie "GTX 980Ti OC (GOLDEN CHIP ASIC 84%) vs GTX 1080 STOCK" on "Extreme Hadrware" channel. Effects are interesting. Maxwell was a very successful generation, it must be admitted. I hope everything will be positive :)

    '' I hope everything will be positive :)''
     
    well, that's to be seen after its all said and done . that's all based on what ''THEY'' feel is the next best replacement   could be a lower 1070 reference type card  ?/ then like me a 10 series don't support my needs as a 900 series will   [no os support [xp]  no dvi -I  [for my analog crt monitors I still fully use ] , and so on . a 10 series for me would suck big time  here for me and my use and needs
     
    with it I would have to go buy another card to take up the slack  the 10 series cant do   [and funny it costs as much money and don't  do 1/2 as much ??]  lets see a 900 card that's covers all my needs for 500 bucks or a 10 series that 500 bucks and don't ?? ....lol..... ya, i'll buy that [not]
     
    keep fingers crossed and good luck

    Good for you.
    At least they didnt say 'your card is fine' and send you a worse and worse and worse card than the one you sent in.
    It must be nice.

    I think it depends most on that it was Classified edition.

    From what I've been told I will more than likely get a 1060. It's a nice card and very close ro my 980ftw in single card performance, but no sli which is a bummer. If only I had been playing newer titles back when I first got this as a present. It would jace neen replaced already and I would have a 2nd of whatever was sent. As it stands now, I'll probably end up selling what I receive without taking it out of the box and getting a newer card that is sli capable unless I get really lucky. Too many real life responsibilities have prevented me from doing much in the wat of pc part purchases

    may depend on what 980ti classy you had ??
     
    like if you had the low end one with the reference clocking  you got the lesser  sc card in exchange ?? [for example ]  there were like what 5 - 980 ti class's  released  , so ????  maybe his model was the more ''top end ''  980 ti classy  so he got a slightly better card back ???

    More likely it has more to do with the refurbished stock that they had on hand at that particular time.

    ya, your at there mercy  -  it could of been just as easy for evga to say no and send your card back with a too bad so sad note .    look how many got a 1070 ref at best  ?? I bet they can say the same on that luck ???
     
    then you look at the specs on 10 series between the  models of 1080's   not much to brag on there between them   like a sc and a  ftw  . like 13mhz between the clocking ??  wow weee.... [opinion]

    that's cool,   but you see there not much between the sc and the ftw  so its not like  biggie [opinion]   and it could of been worse 
     
    anyway enjoy your new card

    Sent in my 980ti Classified, got an 1070 FTW back... feels kind of bad, since the 1070 isnt realy of same performance. Nvidia list´s it as better performing, but in most benchmarks it´s not better and specially in games its not perfomring better.
    Im disappointed, when i see what you guys got as replacements.
