I guess they couldn't sustain replacing people's old GPUs motherboards etc.

 

Also, I wished they would start making non-reference coolers for their GPUs :(

 

A lot more people would buy their cards if they did so.

Once you added me I was already in your friends list lol.

I didn't have to accept or anything since I didn't choose the "allow me to approve members before they're added as friends" option :)

 

And wow that's a disappointing looking cooler. I think it's best they stick with reference coolers :x Sorry for ever mentioning the words EVGA and custom coolers together.

I like the reference GPU coolers. They are a bit louder, but they exhaust outside of the case. It's really helpful.

 

When they no longer have Fermi anymore and someone needs to RMA their Fermi card with their lifetime warranty, they have to give them a card of equivalent worth, so it's gonna cost them a lot.
