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!
Speak to OcUK, it's brand new I'm sure they'll sort something out for you.

I got the same one today too. And seeing as this is my first Nvidia card since the 6800GT, holy cow what a brick it is.

Suggest using Gainward Expertool or EVGA Precision 1.4.0 to under clock, might show up which parts faulty out of the mem, core and shaders if you underclock them one at a time.

Bad luck!
Its a trick DHL drivers often use if they can't be bothered to do their round that evening. Remember many DHL 'staff' are just members of the public looking to make a few extra quid in the evenings by doing part time deliveries after they've finished their day jobs. Hence the 'up to 9pm' delivery window.
If they cant be bothered to complete their round they mark it as "No One To Receive. Card Left." and you have wasted an entire day waiting in for it.
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
Can't believe OCUK went with these amateurs over City-Link, who never messed up one of my orders.

Yeah seems like an odd move. Can't see why Yewen would use the lottery method to drum up business then not allow those peeps to discuss their loot.
I didnt buy one but wanted to see what cards everyone got, partcularly the SSC ones.

Is it because no one got a EVGA or Asus one? That was one of the last posts I read there.
@jrodga2k5
Or maybe the batch has an issue? As most people have not recieved them yet and already we have 2 failing yours and my mates. And apparently there is a baclog in testing. He has been told up to 3 days before they can test it so in the meantime nadder and minus £218 so not such a good deal for him after all.
Or it was accidentally deleted in which case it would make sense to make a new one.
Whoops is that this thread gone now
?

I finally managed to install my Zotac card after some fiddly adjustment of the sata connections and moving 1 hard drive. (Dam this card is huge!)

Seems pretty dodgy tbh.
Perhaps porkies were told in order to shift the 280 stock they had..
What are you on about?
Installed my Zotac one earlier. I've used up all my connections on my PSU (5 HDD's)
Runs every game I play, maxed at 1920 x 1200, so I'm pleased.
Edit: I'm guessing the Zotac was the "base" model, so they had lots of stock of that and not so much of EVGA/BFG/Asus
, couldn't find any comparisons on the different manufacturers apart from software/gifts emcompassed inside the boxes & the cooling.

maybe the people who got the eVGA and Asus cards don't use the forums?

For the Zotac ones, to get the 5 years warranty, just go to the official Zotac website and register your graphics card there. Already did mine a few hours ago.
