So many of them are. I went back through this forum looking at duff cards and so many were MSI :(

Annoys me to see, as I have 2 MSI Lightnings and when I took them apart to put the water blocks on, they are built with so much quality. Hopefully this poor standard isn't a sign of things to come.
 
I hope so, I do like MSI as a brand, they cater the majority of their 'high end' parts to overclocking, but surely in doing so they must check these supposed high end parts.

We'll see how the RMA process go's before I cast final judgement, I've emailed the MSI rep to see if its possible to cut the middle man out and go direct to MSI.

IIRC they were all 79650 TFs, hence why I think it's probably just a faulty batch

I'm so sorry about your mobo and gpu problem pgi947:(

I'm really thinking about going Nvidia for the first time ever. I've had it with MSI and AMD/ATI gpu's. This is my 4th amd/ati gpu. I'm done with glitchy cards. These last 2 I've bought here for sure.

I just want a frickin working card, is that too hard to ask!:(
 
Lets just hope MSI's QC/QA dept inspects RMA's as well, I'm sure the replacements will be sent out next day, probably won't even open the box :o
 
LOL, theres been now couple threads in a week about AMD cards which scares me off buying their products! :(
 
id still buy amd cards,mine have been the best cards ive ever owned,ok so i admit some folks have been having badluck but you cant tar all amd products or their drivers as the same,ive never had a failed card since the x1950 pro days

all you can do is rma and hope it all gets sorted

+1 It is no good worrying about it and RMA is there for a reson. If someone continually had bad luck with a certain brand of GPU, I wouldn't blame them for changing.

I wont buy MSI ever again. Like I said in a few pages back on this thread I'll be calling OCUK this morning to sort this **** out. I will not be getting the same card back otherwise I'll want my money back. (would rather have a working card instead) and if that means me paying more for one that works then so be it.

I'm on a mission this morning
 
I'll still buy amd again without a doubt, it's msi I'm now cautious over, that could change should they compensate me with a boost edition lightning however :p
 
In their defence, it's not about the problems a manufacturer has, it's how they sort it out. The gigabyte 480s last year had massive failure rates, something like a solid 2% I think. But gigabyte sorted pretty much everyone out with a nice upgrade to a 580, restoring my hopes in the company that shipped so many faulty cards out :)
 
New motherboard had a faulty pci lane which in turn has crippled my lightning, so back on the ud7 with an 8500gt. Cleee is very kindly sorting me out with a 460 as a temp card until msi sort this mess out for me :)

I hope for msi's sake and my sanity that the rma process is swift and painless.

A golden clocking 7970 lost forever.
