I just purchased an EVGA 8800GTS (g92) 512mb 10 days ago and went back to purchase a second for sli mode and it is no longer on their website. Now they have the EVGA 8800GTS (g92) KO version which is overclocked.

My question is can this still work or do I have to return my old card and get 2 of the new cards?

Link to old card (10 days old)

also if im going to do this should I just RMA the old card and give them never ending yelling and screaming so that they upgrade me to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130339 for the additional like 40 bucks? Then I can run 3 of them as I have an EVGA 780i tri sli board... ??? thoughts?

Yes, it will work fine. The non-oced card will just drag the oced card back to its performance level in sli. But it's only a slight difference anyway. Besides, you can manually oc that non-factory-oced card.

 

Also, it can be different brands, sli don't care about that. Consider this factory oced card:

thanks, I was under the impression that SLI had to be identical, I didnt assume brand but I did assume the speeds and such.

You should be ashamed of yourself..."never ending yelling and screaming" because you are having personal issues?

Towards NewEgg, of all companies...one of the last customer-service based on-line tech stores who not only did nothing wrong in this case, but you are actively trying to defraud.

You are awarded no points and may you blue screen every day.

Only if you are an infant, once you get past the age of two that doesn't work at all, in fact once people identify you as a known complainer (for no good reason), you get even worse treatment...just to piss you off. As Minsc says, "The squeaky wheel gets the kick".

You were hoping for grease?

Well I have had no problem getting what I as the consumer deserve as far as customer service and product. Newegg delayed my order for 1 day and after speaking with them they credited me the shipping charges and shipped my order next day air before noon. So Im not saying really yelling but there is a way to get what you pay for in service and product. If you are not happy you are the customer and you have to push till the company your dealing with realizes this fact.

Unknown fact to most people is that if the rep wont do it, the sup wont do it , the manager will do it. Escalating a call gets harder and harder for the company to deny your request... as long as its not a million bucks your pretty much good to go.

NEVER did I say actively trying to defraud, RMA includes returning product for credit. I would only be requesting from them not to be charged the 15% restock fee.

Newegg only impressed me by giving me a credit for the shipping charges. Their customer service the first 3 calls was very horrible and they all gave me incorrect information. I called back a 4th time and spoke to obviously someone who knew what he was talking about and informed me that my order was already on the shipping docks when the last 3 people had told me that the order had not even been to the warehouse yet and that it wouldnt untill the next day.

I was very unhappy with the service I received. I always use newegg but this time I used both newegg and tigerdirect and suprizingly tigerdirect pulled with wonderfully. Tech support and service.

NewEgg did nothing wrong?!?!

I bought a computer and Microsoft Office software from NewEgg. The computer was defective and it took a lot of wrangling to get NewEgg to take it back. I bought a different computer from Dell and when I opened the Office software package there was nothing in it. The software had been installed on the defective computer and NewEgg had failed to mention this.

Now NewEgg won't refund my money or send me replacement software. Many of you have had good experiences with NewEgg. Before you shop with NewEgg again ask yourself what will happen if something goes wrong- and it will.

Well if any of you had a really bad nightmare called online shop, i'd say congradulations and dont ever do that again. If any of you think that online shopping is cheap, free shipment, delivered to your door step. I think thats a politics, i mean come on... no company that would do such free bla...bla...bla...thing, what ever you called. If they really give a free shipping then they got the profit from where? Think economic guy's, i mean 1+1 = 2, but if you use algorithmic 1+1=0. So if that NewEgg thing use algorithmic thinking, they're already bankrupted. Even a shipment around US only and the fee is only a $1/kg for example, if you order electronics component average total amount 15 kg and the other are the same order as you are per day. Then calculate how many computer user in US (for use in home, in office, for gaming, for education). If you calculate right, then i assume thats worth hundred thousand or even millions of bucks, of course after tax.

If the service is poor and you have to argue wit the seller, i assume that they don't want to loose the profit, mostly they have to payback the money if the product is unreliable to the costumer. In that case i rather buy the product, even i have to travel 20 mil, but the shop is guarantee is 100% for the product and willing to responsible if the costumer had bad expirience with the product the costumer buy.

Really, dont believe try it out. Its very fun (for me of course, i don't know with you guy's). :)
