Is My X1800 XT Dying ? :(

[TaKeN]

I rang up the shop and they said its over 30 days so im not allowed a refund, so i cheekily asked if i could swap it for a X1900 with a bit of money on top and they said no.

Not realy very nice of em tbh considering the money i spent on the card and the service im being given

Expect to see pictures around 6pm

[TaKeN]

Pictures seem to be huge for some reason

Why the hell do OcUK even do this?

I mean, jesus christ, it can't take MUCH intelligence to work out if you send something as fragile as a graphics card wrapped in a bit of bubble wrap it's going to get obliterated

**** ME!!!

Ive never seen nowt like that, how on earth did they manage to do that to it, surely its been opened by someone and stamped on.

You should get in touch with Gibbo about that, thats absolutely terrible.

 

[TaKeN]

Im still not sure it was ocuk lolz, it might have been powercolor,


EDIT : Erm, trying to find where it came from, via the label on the box

does that count when its a different card?

 

[TaKeN]

Well tbh james im taking matters further and i dont realy want to say any more than that, as this thread will be deleted

 

[james.miller]

ok well if that's the case, you'd better take the matter off the forums. you know it'll just get the thread deleted anyhow

That's harsh, looks like the card was thrown out of a car window and ran over twice.

Hope you get it sorted TaKeN.

That pic on the shop site has something missing, oh yeah thats it, should read "Prices Slashed" "Cards Smashed"

 

[TaKeN]

TBH i reckon the driver of the city link van was an nVidia Fan and smelt Ati so he trashed the card

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Yeah probably saw it as an ATi card so took a hammer to it, and said "should have got a GTX tbh" then slung it back in the van and delivered it.

LoL. TaKeN, your reaction to that pile of junk must have been... hmm.... ackward when you unwrapped/dropped out of the packaging.

 

[TaKeN]

I was shocked at first, then anger set in so i rang the shop at 5.45pm and it was closed


Same thing happened when i ordered an X800 XL from another online store , took weeks for a replacement though

EDIT : Hmm i bet there are loads of people reading this who hate ATi cards and are getting extreme pleasure from seeing these photo's.

 

[sablabra]

Holy ****! That poor card must have been raped or something

 

[2StepSteve]

Sorry to hear about your card TaKeN, looks like a washing machine has been dropped on it

This awfully reminds me of soviet . Or is it only me having that dangling over my head? I better shut up before I get perm-ban...

I most def agree! Take the rough with the smooth comes to mind.
