Gigabyte 2900xt

[SS-89]

No flaming or fanboys please, i simply would like to know if anyone knows what the package is like, also i read it has 3 year warranty, can anyone clarify that? Are Gigabyte good with regards RMA's?

Doesn't appear to have anything considerable in the bundle, and it's just the reference cooler.

I'd pick up the OcUK HD2900XT personally, only £230.

My only gripe with that is it only comes with 1 years warranty, which is paltry by todays standards plus the gigabyte is only £9 more on a competitors site.

Couldn't of put it better myself lol, but do consider the HIS as well.

I might be being blind but where does it say 12 month warranty?

[Edit] Ah yes, I see now.

It would certainly be worth the extra £9 then.

in the mini description. Seems like the gigabyte comes with Black Box so thats alright but whats their rma service like?

Not sure about their RMA service, but I've not heard good things. But I know first hand that their Customer Service section is SHOCKING.

Took HIS over 8 weeks to send my mate a new card.

Perhaps Gigabyte are not all that good seen as these guys dont sell their cards.

Seems like none of the ATI partners are any good (Asus, Gigabyte, His, Sapphire), What about Powercolour?

Not heard anything good about any partners whether it be nvidia or ati but
i can tell ya that the only faulty card i have had was a HIS x1900xtx and ocuk
had it rmaed and a new one sent in just over a week pretty good i'd say.
