It's certainly not an unreliable brand in itself - you're just as likely to get a failure as you are with the likes of Sapphire, XFX, MSI etc.

It's just that my experience of TUL's RMA service is poor - back in the days of the X800 I bought one of their X850XT PE cards from another retailer. It failed after a few months of use - not a problem, it happens - but the retailer had gone upwards. So I emailed TUL. No reply. Tried all their foreign email addresses but I never got a reply. So I gave up, and vowed never to get a product from them again. This stance softed a bit over the years as the bitterness subsided :p, but still to this day I refuse to deal with them directly in the event of problems.

So seriously, in this case, you should be fine. Just don't buy a TUL card (Powercolor or VTX) from a company that doesn't deal with the RMA process itself. Because if you do get a failure, i'm pretty sure you won't be seeing a replacement or any money. :p

You've reminded me of a Powercolor GPU failure I had back a while ago, emailed them a few times, no reply, not once, good to hear OcUK are dealing with RMA's direct.

Great price but are VTX any good?

Customer Service etc?

no they are **** - avoid. I had two of their 6870 cards and when OCUK didn't want to know, I couldn't get anywhere with VTX main offices...couldn't even get through :/ Had to sell the card as a faulty card dead cheap to see if any high level tech fans could give it a punt in fixing it themselves.

Wouldn't buy VTX again no matter the cheap price.

I agree, I bought a vtx 6970 last year and it was dead on arrival, Got another 1 from the retailer and the Vram was borked on it.. Sent it back and got a different card altogether in the end :(

I bought a vtx 6970 as a second for crossfire, but the cooler looked really flimsy and I wasn't keen on the look, so I sent it back. This one looks a bit more sturdy though.

I get paid on Thursday, will somebody in authority please reduce these prices again,lol.

Prefer the Sapphire OC ideally, but beggars can't be choosers.
 
Almost about to order the Sapphire OC 7950 then I saw this for a bit more :/

How woud it compare cooler/noise wise etc? I doubt theres much if a performance jump.
