**Gigabyte Super OC GTX 480's - VERY LOW PRICES!**

Never had a problem with FRAPS personally
Never caused stuttering in my games etc (that i notice anyhow)

Cleeecooo congrats on the new card dude ,, bet your a chuffed little monkey now hehe

I still got to send mine in but i dont know if i can be bothered as it is fine at 1050v (1025v is unstable)
I have a 480 already so if i got the 580 like you cleeecooo then id have to sell the 480 i have (fitted with arctic cooler)

I sent my 480 SOC back to OCuk today. I was planning on sending the card back yesterday but someone offered me the use of there PC with a 850w PSU in it...the OCCT results where actually worse.

Nearly £20 to send the damn card back though! What's the chances of a refund on that?

If I had sent it to Gigabyte would they have covered the costs?

I think it depends if you sent it back to OCuk as faulty or under the distance selling regulations (DSR). Under DSR it will be at your cost. If you returned it as faulty and they confirm that it is through their testing process, then they should refund your costs if you ask them nicely in the customer support forum.

never had the postage refunded on 2 dead mobo's
 
I don't know how you got £9.60, when she wayed it initially it was £12 odd, when she asked how much it was worth, that's when the price went up. I was sending back the whole box though (which was then packaged up) as that's what OCuk told me to send back to them.

OCuk set me up the RMA as a faulty, so it's not DSR as far as I am concerned. I can't see how it's not faulty though, OCCT goes mad!

I actually just got round to testing the replacement SOC card OCUK sent me with my new Corsair TX850 V2 and the results are exactly the same as with the OCZ Modxstream 600W. I get errors in OCCT at the 78-80 degrees mark at the default voltage of 1.088V. At this voltage it is impossible to keep the card below that temp even with 100% fan speed and a 12CM side fan... :(

What are you going to do now? 2nd RMA or refund?

My vendor called me again to tell that the replacement GTX480 SOC is on its way. He also told me that Gigabyte didn't even test the RMA'ed one since "they already know very well that there are some cards that just don't behave, but only a limited number of them".

When I asked him "what happens if the second card is faulty again" he told me that I could get a refund or pay something more to get the next model...

Problem is: I don't want to spend any more money on graphics and I don't want a refund either since I bought this card in special price (320euros/£284) and with this amount of money I doubt I can get any close to the performance of the gtx480 soc.

where do you live?

If it's not a DSR and they find it faulty, they will refund your postage
