MSI HD 7870 Black Knight

[skinnerman]

Hi, I've ordered all the components for my build and was getting everything ready to do it tomorrow until I noticed that the graphics card I'd received was the R870-2GD5T rather than this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-185-MS

Is there a difference between the two cards at all? Thanks.

Don't know the differences, but it's not the same card. I would send it back and get the one your ordered.

I confused the link you put was to the R870-2GD5T wasn't it?

 

[skinnerman]

Well that's rubbish. Tarnished my first order with OC, and means no build for me. Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: No, the link is the one I ordered - code has OC at the end.

Does the card look the same as the one you ordered?

Oh yes,

it has the description of the normal one but has oc in the title.

Must be a typo I would ask for a £20 refund and keep the card

I think the cards are exactly the same but one runs at 1050mhz and the other 1000mhz

 

[skinnerman]

The card looks the same, but the side of the box has the different number on the side of the box and doesn't have the 'OC' sticker on the front of the box. My invoice says R870-2GD5T/OC on it too. Would there be a significant drop in performance between the two if I was offered a refund?

Agreed.
Nothing to be concerned about imo

The 50mhz difference would be unnoticeable and you ought to be overclocking it past that anyway.

If it was me....I would send it back and ask for the card I paid for. OCUK has done this a few times to me on a few items. They'll pay for postage. It's their mistake.

Maybe, but it's still not what he paid for.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Sure, I get the principle and I'd understand wanting to return it

It's just that there's no real world difference between the two is all.

That's my feeling too - just so p****d off - been working solidly for the last two weeks and was looking forward to using my day off tomorrow to do this

I'm like you. I would want the card I paid for. It is the principle of the thing. I don't want a lesser card. Up to skinnerman though.
