Why don't they give you a 7950, that would be fair IMHO.

Let's hear your vote. I sent in my Asus 5970 for RMA, got an EAH6970 in return.

Does that sound like a fair replacement, or should I press Asus for an alternate option?

Clearly the 6970 doesn't match the 5970 in terms of hashing power. You should at least get a 6990.

This.

No way should they send you a second tier card to replace a top of the line card. Now if they sent 2 of them or a 7970 that might change things but in no way shape or form is that a fair replacement.

Not a fair trade, according to Tomshardware.com: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html
