Even then, it only puts them on a par with BFG.

I mean, what do I care if the next guy gets good support?

As for the stickers, they remain in the box as im not that bad.

If you don't want them, can I have your stickers ?

I've had a truly shocking experience of an RMA with XFX which is still ongoing after almost 2 months since sending my other card back to them. First they spit in my face with a pathetic offer of a partial refund, then they take an age to send me an alternative OEM replacement card.

Still waiting...

I shared his sentiments, it wasn't a blank post and was certainly not a +1 post count effort. I know you've invested a lot of time in this thread but you have to admit, trying to reason with fanboys in the gfx card forum is pretty futile.

I was kidding.

And I got a +1 out of it too. :cool:

this is about the combined experiences of all the people who have had problems with XFX customer support .

Where are "all the people" Ulfhedjinn?

Also what do you clase as an RMA disaster? One that doesn’t go your way?

Also, why are you sticking up for OCUK? Do you love them or something? or you just an XFX hater trying desperately not to be to obvious.

You said that never had trouble with XFX support, so how are you "all the people"? :confused:

Are you done trolling now? I know that you own an XFX card, and are one of the overly-sensitive people who have trouble hearing about problems with that company because you own one of their products, but their support is absolutely dire. Accept it, or do you think that you know better than Gibbo? :rolleyes:

I'm not "sticking up for" anybody, I think a company like OcUK doesn't need someone they never met to defend their business practises. They're perfectly capable of doing it themselves.

I was simply pointing out that XFX customer support is crap, and that it's what got their products removed from this site. A few of you XFX owners seem to find such a suggestion offensive though, but that's no skin off my nose.

Lolch and Ulfhedjinn... you should have just left it after your first two posts... it's degenerated into a very, very silly squabble and both parties look a bit of an arse.

lay-z-boy · 14 Jan 2007 at 21:21

Shocky, do you work for XFX?

I'm onto something here......

What can I say, we're both stubborn. But I'm stubborn and right, so I don't care.

Besides, I get the impression he's beginning to lose his hair now. I can practically feel him grinding his teeth from here every time I state the fact that XFX's support is abysmal.

I did stop, but apparently OcUK's no.1 fanboy ulfhedjinn wouldn't.

This statement made by you was unnecessary at all.

I did stop quite a while back ago, but you made me want to post here again.

So to the no.1 fanboy of OcUK. How does it feel being in the limelight under the name of OcUK No.1 Fanboy?

I didn't make you post again though, did I. :confused:

If you want to drop it then drop it and stop defending XFX's dire support.

I can live with it if OcUK will give me free stuff, otherwise you can have your title back because it's no use to me.
