I bought a BFG 8600 GT OC from OCUK in May... after a week of using it, it was clear that it was faulty: tested on 3 machines, each with the same fault (artifacts, large areas of popup colour which looked like ghosting rather than software texture problems).
I rma'd the card direct to BFG for a replacement. The replacement arrived, this card was even worse, at least the previous one would work for 1-2 hours, this wouldn't work at all without artifacts/corruption. So I asked BFG for another RMA, RMA'd the 2nd card. 3rd card arrived... same problem as the first card. Keeping in mind I have tested on 3 different PCs (1 running an 8800GTS, 1 running a 7900GT and of course the PC I bought this gpu for).
BFG replied within 24 hours at first. In my last email I asked for a refund or if I can pay to upgrade to an 8600GTS. So far its been days and I've heard nothing back.
I've been without a working PC for 2 months now. What should I do?
I'm tempted to buy another brand 8600 then try and fight for a refund with BFG. But also, OCUK are sold out of their own brand/BFG brand 8600GTS's which I find a bit strange.
