Back in 2004 or so I purchased from CompUSA an EVGA 7800 Ultra (Limited Edition) 256MB video card, about a week later for some unknown reason I went down to CompUSA and bought a second one....for no real reason, I just felt I needed to.
Since then I've been tinkering with overclocking video cards and am totally awash with what they can do, so much more fun then the CPU!!! needless to say... a little to much voltage and not enough cooling and fizzle went my 1st 7800.....but DAMN it was so fast before that last increase.
But anyway I called EVGA, they said no card was ever made, their website has all the 7 series removed and when I asked about the warranty (not telling them about the fizzle) they were really confused and I kept getting transferred to a new person, then I got to this one guy in engineering and he told me "oh that card, yea it was a real limited edition"...like only 100 ever made and to send it to them and he would be happy to send me a replacement.... boy am I dumb.....
Off it went and all I got back was a 7800GS......and no proof it ever existed..........Ahh but wait, my second card!
It happly sits in my Soyo build running a smooth 523MHz core clock.
SO... Has anyone...anyone ever heard of my lost 7800 Ultra (limited Edition) 256MB video card...
Anyone?
