Sabre 28 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Maybe it's just me but when I bought my graphics card a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB card from "E-Liar" back in March 2011 one of the attractions was the two year warranty. So after my recent tales of graphical woe I returned the product for the second time!! to "E-Liar" Upon finding the product faulty they promptly announced they had accepted by RMA - yeah good news! This was shortly followed by a second e-mail telling me that becasue the product was over 6 months old they couldn't (wouldn't) be providing a replacement product (as I'd requested) but instead would be providing me a proportionate refund. In fact a 16% reduction proportionate refund on the basis I'd had the use of the product!!!! According to "E-Liar" it's in the terms and conditions!!!! The moral of the story is don't take anything at face value and always read the fine print of the T&C's Apologies for the rant but jeez I've spent over £700 in 18 months with "E-Liar" plus I've probably spent just under £700 on replacing items which probably weren't even faulty!

mutley 4,487 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 That's awful, Personally I would have been happy with any amount after a year but that doesn't make up for al the hassle and expense you've had, grrr. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm being unreasonable, I do think I'm heavily influenced by all the hassle and aggrevation so maybe that's colouring my judgement at the minute. Probably need to move on now and just get a replacement card and put it all down as an "experience" Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Howabout buying my GTX580? I'm thinking of upgrading to a 680 Link to post Share on other sites
PanzerFodder 0 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 keep your 580 Joe, I don't think the spending all the money on the GTX680 is going to make FSX look any better to the naked eye, unless you know something, I don't about these new cards . Cheer's...Graham... BOT: @ Graeme, never buy another bloody thing from them again, just grab what money they give you and get whatever you can for it, then never look at their website again Link to post Share on other sites

GabethePilot 1 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hmm.. 185 is a little too rich for me - would need a beefier PSU too. Think I'll go with a 560 1.2 GB - £135 new - amazingly it only needs 23 Amps on the 12v rail (3 less than an 8800 GT !)... so then I can keep my current PSU. I'd love the 560 Ti 448 - meant to be a corker - it's still hovering around the £165 mark. P.S I'll be doing you a review on "FS Captain" shortly - well, I'll be offering it you anyway ! It's an impressive little 'pilot career' progam - been using it for a while - and it sort of works well in conjunction with 'Air Hauler' and your VA. Link to post Share on other sites
