Thats right. Three (3) cards all with some problem or other. First the VIVO was dead. Then it worked with the second card but 3D applications crashed after minutes. The third one, same thing again. QC issues anyone?
 
I'd explain the problems to them and hint at the fact that you want "compensating", due to lost postage and time etc.... This can be done with a better card RMA'ed back to you.
 
Suprised you got another 7800GTX TBH. Idve expected a better card.

Can you try it on a different system just on the off chance its not the card?

Think I have another motherboard somewhere, but then I have the hassle of installing Windows and moving the CPU\PSU across...
 
Suprised you still got 7800 GTX's back, surely theres none of them left still, they aint been produced for eons now, suprised you didnt get a 7900 of some kind.
 
id make it clear to them to make sure they send you a different card aleast the 7900 series :eek: or something to make up for the the problems they caused you.

Good thing I have an integrated Geforce 6100 to fall back on...although I wouldn't mind a 7900, SupCom looks ugly at 1024x768 low.

nah they should really give you a 7900 since it replaced the 7800 ages ago. 6100 intergrated is good tbh i have 5200 to fall back on *crys* (my cards in RMA as well)

Well the only BFG 7900 with VIVO is the 512MB GTX...
