    If Nvidia are so great then that must be why both the next xbox and ps4 are using AMD right?

    Nvidia actually turned away the offer last i read. They like their high margin hardware

    More like they're more invested in the idea of phones becoming low-end home computers more than consoles getting another refresh.
    A year and a half from now is when nVidia's roadmap has them connecting your phone to wireless monitors, keyboards, and mice for computing.

    AMD GPU's are also much more affordable, we all know that every single console sold is a profit loss. They already cost more to produce than they retail for... Going AMD was their only option really.

    Eh, for a given price-point the performance levels are too similar for that to be a reason. More likely is that the AMD solution is integrated and there is no comparable offering from Nvidia on account of them lacking an x86 license.

    Who here's had to RMA through EVGA? Video is flickering through two of my 590's DVI ports and I'm the process of talking with support. What's likely to happen? For some reason I doubt they have 590s in the back room to ship back to me.

    With any luck, you'll get a 690.

    They have to give you something of equivalent specification/speed. You'll get a refurbished card either way, most likely a 590 (it's not that old). You might luck out and get a 690 or a couple of 670's or something.
