Yes...only if it is unopened.

I copied the terms from OC's return page:

He bought it in person so it doesn't apply.
Ah...I missed the 'went in' part...I made the assumption that it was online purchase...

I hate to point this out but...why ask us, when you can get a more definite answer by contacting the OcUK representative/customer support? Our answers ain't gonna be able to guarantee anything...
 
Can't see why they wouldn't swap it tbh, as they are going to get an extra £40, so would make a better sale, but how much are those XFX 5850's :eek:, you can get 5870's cheaper than that.
