Ok, so ive got a 2900 XT which i bought from OCUK and have been meaning to RMA, ive had it since December, is it still possible to RMA the product?

You get a year probably, but it'll go back the makers, ocuk wont replace it.

Worth doing an RMA. Outside chance you might get either a 3850 or 3870 as a replacement.....

3850 would be a downgrade, he'd get a 3870.

Yes thats exactly what he would get!

Within a year send it to the retailer. That's what I did when my old 8600GT when it went insane, and OCUK handled everything.

Plus your new 3870 will use much less power and be much quieter.

Yesh indeed, well i got a gfx card in my system atm (8800 GT) lol I thought to myself earlier what the chances would be of getting a 3870 X2 lol that wouldnt be a bad upgrade. Probably not gonna happen though lol.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
Just posted off my sapphire x1950xt it sadly died on me after 15 months.
I couldn't RMA it through the company i got it from - 12 month warranty etc,so i contacted sapphire and recieved a fast response and a RMA number.
Posted it off friday to hungary,was expecting it to go to hong kong lol.
Anyway considering the age of the card ,and if they cant fix it/the exact card is no longer availble,does anyone have an idea to what equivalent new card i might expect as a replacement ?.
