gainward 4870 512mb b grade

[xirokx]

hi there,

I received my b grade gainward 4870 512mb from OCUK yesterday and gutted because:-

- it was advertised as having tvout and doesnt have this facility

- when gaming, after an hour the game locks up, I am throw back to desktop with the following error msg:-

" display driver stopped working and has now recovered "

I have monitored temps whilst gaming at 1280x1020 my max res and the temp is at 73deg only so it cannot be due to overheating

Having googled the error msg above I understand some cards are just borked from day 1 and this appears to be 1 of them, so I plan on sending it back to OCUK and asking for a full refund as I cannot see a solution, unless one of you guys can?

Please advise..

Cheers

Tip of the day -

Don't buy B grade.

:/

get it sent back before 14 days, or theres nothing you can do with it being b grade

not to sure if you will still have warranty with the card manufacture either

You get a 14 day shop warranty, and the remaining manufacturer warranty.
