Wrong graphics card sent

vonex · 4 Jun 2013 at 14:37

ordered a ref gigabyte 7970 from another retailer for £269.99 its just arrived and to surprise they have sent me a windforce3 7950 :mad:

now i've requested an RMA number but i'm very impatient and now thinking about just using 7950 alongside my 7970... from what i can tell i will probably have to wait a week to get the 7950 replaced with 7970 :rolleyes:

what should i do? :confused:

Wait a week for the card you actually want? That's certainly what I'd do.

I know where you got that from and i had a feeling it was too good to be true. It just didn't make sense. You reckon they will actually send you a 7970 without charging you the extra? I almost went for two of those myself, glad i didn't now.

i'm not sure, i phoned them up and asked if they where in stock he said they had none in store but they where in the warehouse... it indeed is a very good deal which is why i jumped at it. going to ring them again now and get them to confirm price and stock is correct

Yeah i can't see them sending you two 7970's for that price. Good luck though and keep us updated.

might as well try your luck, dont act like you think the price is wrong, if they say anything just cancel the order, you never know, they might just take it on the chin and let you have it at a reduced cost for the trouble!

Surley by law they have to send you the product you ordered right?

Or give you a refund..

vonex · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:02

just got off the phone with them they said the price is correct and they have 30 in stock... "its on special offer to clear stock" take that with a pinch of salt. the card they sent me is £10 cheaper and its not reference design so i cant fit a waterblock grrrrrrrr...!

yeah when requesting RMA never mentioned anything about price.. just that they sent me the wrong product.

So they're going to send you a reference 7970?

yup there is no indication that price was wrong or any mistake with the description, just got them to fast track RMA number.. still unsure what to do!

Do it. If you actually get a 7970 reference i might get a couple. Reference Tahiti cards are close to impossible to get these days.
