Mr.Smith(AJ)
Sorry to revive an older thread. I've Just curious to what card did you receive? What cards have people been getting in replacement of the GTX 480? I have gotten my card when it first came out it was worth 500 dollars back in 2010
Recently after the windows 10 updates have been conflicting with my gtx 480 drivers and it has been crashing and bsoding. I'm thinking about using the lifetime warranty on my gtx480. I have kept the card in tip top condition I would clean the gpu every month its not full of dust for sure. I'm thinking it might be a software issue, but since Nvidia or Evga would not write new drivers for it its going to be a constant issue.
Thanks
It doesn't matter what the original cost of your card was. RMAs are based on relative performance levels, not cost. So if you're thinking you're entitled to something like a RTX 3070 you can forget about that, it's not happening. Performance wise your card is slower than even a GTX 1050, so anything at or around that would be a massive upgrade for you. There is really no telling though what you'll get back if you RMA such an old card but I can virtually guarantee you it won't be anything in the "RTX" series of cards.
