Time length to RMA a video Card

Was wondering how long on average it takes to get a new video card after you send your old one to them?

Well that depends on how busy they are... Who you bought it from...

who says you'll get a new card? they could repair that one... they could send you a referbished one... your card could be fine and shipped back to you.... or if you've voided your warrenty in some way you card reured to you as-is...

BTW:

forum rules state your siggy is limited to 400 pixels wide by 100 tall your current siggy 504x216 ... Please fix it....

Usually you can also cross-ship a card (they ship you replacement first) but that depends on the manufacturer.

answer: about 20 seconds.

I just RMAed my faulty X850XT and called mwave....they will x-ship a new card (which i prepaid)....i will plug the new replacement card in and will send the defective one back. Money will be refunded.

Time me being without my X850XT: About 20 secs...that long it will take to pull the old one and plug the new one in

However....different story if your card is so damaged you cant use it anymore...i however can still use the defective card since the faults (artifacts) dont appear all the time.
