Buyer's remorse/Newegg return policy

[imrazor]

So I came into a few bitcoins and decided to spend them on a shiny new 1050 Ti. Problem is, it barely performs any better than my old GTX 670 (maybe 5% - 10% better.) The 1050 Ti does bring some benefits - double the VRAM, lower power bills and the shorter PCB frees up a sorely needed drive bay. The GTX 670 is also showing signs of age - one of the DVI ports stopped working. And it may be wishful thinking, but there seems be less stutter. But I hate having spent the equivalent of $135 on a 5% bump in framerates.

Do the readers here think that the benefits I outlined above are worth the price? If not, what is Newegg's return policy on items purchased with Bitcoins? Would it be subject to a restocking fee seeing that it's perfectly functional?

You can look up their return policies on their website. Only you can answer if its worth it to you, it may be worth it to some and not others.

I feel like since you have the new one already might as well keep it. However, if your 670 does what you need then might as well get your bitcoin back for something else. Good luck on trying get your Bitcoin back as it looks like they don't refund back with bitcoin! I got this quote from their website.
"All orders fully paid by Bitcoin are final and cannot be returned for Bitcoin or hard currency. All returns will be refunded in the form of a Newegg Gift Card. All returns follow our return policy." (https://kb.newegg.com/Article/Index/12/3?relparticId=1681&relpname=Bitcoin&id=1683 )

You can find details about doing a return on their return policy page:

And about restocking fees here (with a note about bitcoin at the bottom):

From the look of it, if you bought the card direct from Newegg (and not as a marketplace item from a third-party seller, who will have their own return policies), there will likely be a 15% restocking fee (around $20) and potentially a fee for the return shipping label. Since it was bitcoin, the value would be refunded in the form of a Newegg gift card for use on a future purchase. You might want to contact their customer service for more information about your exact situation.
