Call them up and ask why it's being recalled/how you go about it.

Cancel the order and get an Nvidia card.............otherwise just take the refund and invest it now on a different company like asus' card or wait for later!

The decision is upto you

You suggested returning a card he already has and switching to Nvidia with no reason given as to why he should (I'm also interested why you suggested this too, I think it might just be you being a fanboy)

 

Then you suggested switching card vendors seemingly for no reason again.

 

None of your comment was in any way useful to OP and a waste of time.

I edited my post and sorry for the fact that I did not realize that he had the card ........i thought he had just ordered it!
