My 780ti kingpin broke so I sent it in for RMA. EVGA is sending me back a 980 kingpin which has less memory bandwidth. I feel cheated. The 780ti kingpin was a flagship 780ti. Imo I should be getting a 980ti kingpin. Am I being unreasonable? Should I ask for a replacement with the same memory bandwidth, or just leave it be?

Definitely fight for what you paid for.
I haven't had to rma many video cards but back when I was mining crypto currencies I had to send back a few Gigabyte cards that blew. I had zero problems with their RMA and replacement policies.

Tough one...either way...if the 980 out performs what you had with the 780ti, I am not sure how much complaining could be done (i.e. you paid for a 780, but got a 980 as replacement...upgrade!!!). BUT...if the 780ti is no longer available, they should replace it with a like model. Meaning Graphics output and Memory...

Obviously I can't read. I have an MSI 980 that I am perfectly happy with. Still, fight for the Ti if you can.

Tet has a good point, if 980 out performs the 780 ( and it should) not much to complain about. Also consider the price difference.
