-== OcUK Extreme GeForce GTX 280 Amazing Deal! ==-

I think I got the BFG GTX280 OC - is that any good? Arrived at home and Im at work - took a while to decipher the laypersons explaination of what was in the box...

Dont these ones overheat a bit :eek:. Doubt the pre-oc is that high - but the 10yr warranty will be useful. Wonder what I get with the bugger - cba to call back as no doubt Ill be told about the stream processors and everything else on the back of the box :p

BTW OcUK who is the warranty with? Small concern I have is if I have to go back to the manufacturer if they look at the receipt theyll see I was sold an OcUK GTX280 model and not one of theirs. Just trying to avoid pain down the line...

Well mine turned up :)

I'm a bit happy with what I got...3 sealed BFG OC all with Far Cry 2
Mine was delivered about 10 mins ago Royal Mail Special delivery to northern ireland, I received the BFG overclocked card, free copy of farcry2, full version of 3D mark vantage advanced and a funky wee led torch lol

Well impressed, now to clean out the ati files and install the thing :)
Hope Ive got the same one then :D

I'm not sure if this has already been pointed out but it looks like OcUK is getting more of these in stock.

ETA: 27/01/09

:)
 
Pretty sure it will say 28/01 tomorrow - I suspect the e-commerce part of the shop outfills that kind of detail if nothing valid has been inputted...

Since they are all sold out - I cant why Yewen would be tight lipped if they are getting more...

Hope Im wrong - might get another for a friend

Omg, just checked the tracking system: No One To Receive Card Left 26/01/09 18:21. I've been at home all day, going to ring and complain!
 
DHL are a joke.

I got my PC from OcUk - They shipped it fine on Friday, and it took a WHOLE WEEK for it to get here.


I had to phone everywhere, speak to machines and everything and it got me nowhere.

I then went to Edinburgh's DHL Center and asked there. The guy took my details and said the system may have been stolen, So i came home angry.


40mins later I got a phone call saying the security had done a sweep of the building and found my machine in the back of a Van. They then told me the driver probably couldnt be bothered delivering it to me. Remember this was a week after the PC had been shipped !


Seems they can't promise Next day service. Shame Really.

Shipment Data Received 26/01/09 MANCHESTER SERVICE CENTRE

Finally something from DHL that is more useful than a chocolate fire guard!! damn been waiting for some form of information all day!

And Yes the lottery results thread has been removed :(
 
Well mines looks like its going back.....artifacting is rife in both GTA IV and Left 4 Dead...I will probably do a clean install to make sure its not just that but I have a feeling my card is a dud :(

who do you think it would be better to however? OcUK or BFG?

I suppose if I send it back to BFG I will get the same card back again!
