Hey guys, I wrote over at overclock.net about a recent GTX 275 I purchased which has been causing me many a problem since I got it yesterday. The latest is the graphics card running in 1x mode rather than 16x, note it's been running this way since I received it yesterday. Obviously this is causing it to seriously underperform.

Here's my thread:

http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/747269-gtx-275-its-way-out.html

Please read it through to the last page as I've been keeping it updated.

At the time I couldn't even run gpu-z or steam let alone preview the little spinning nvidia logo in the 3D settings > Adjust image settings with preview so that was the reasoning for the thread name.

Lastly something I don't think I mentioned on overclock is that aswell as the PCB having a ever so slight bend in it, also the metal back plate end fin bits we're bent inwards towards the motherboard which seemed a bit odd as they usually face outwards perhaps a tiny bit from my experience.

Lastly do you think with the card possibly being tampered with in order to get it to work properly that I'd be able to get a refund if I went through paypal dispute?

Thanks if anyone can help
 
Sounds like it is faulty then? I think you've been ripped off mate. Stop wasting your time with this faulty card, all those problems I doubt it can be fixed. If you ran another card in your mobo fine at full speed then this one should.

depends how it was advertised, if it was stated as untested/faulty then you won't get your money back probably but you might have a chance if it stated tested as working and the condition. Seeing as you didnt notice he said he doesnt accept returns doesnt help either i suppose. Haven't used ebay for a long time so unsure of their exact rules/process for disputes with paypal now.

In the other thread you said he will accept it back if you cannot fix it so no need to try the paypal dispute if the guy sticks to his word and refunds?

Yeah that was my initial thought.

Card was sold as fully working, no problems and that it had been in use for about a year. Yeah he said he'd refund me on the basis he gets the card back and re-tests it for himself as he is 100% certain that it works fine in his system. I don't think I'd be willing to send it back without my money back first to be honest, so just thought about the possibility of putting in a dispute as It would be much safer for both parties.

I've tried so much with this card that I've still got it in my PC after 2 days, tried 3 different drivers, varying from 182.50/186.18/197.45 updating my bios from F10 to F12, clearing cmos, changing pci-express slot from auto to 100mhz. Literally as much as possible bar a full OS re-install.
