Piece of shite GFX card (Gainward GTX570)

[Ch4v41lf3]

Woohoo seems i may have solved the issue with my gfx card finally

I took it apart and snapped bits off it until it stopped working

Looked on scan.co.uk and they no longer sell my card and as it doesnt work cannot replace it. As there policy is to replace like for like on faulty goods and the fact they no longer stock my card it means that i get a full refund at the price i paid.

Will update this post tomorrow to see if they sort me out or again try to shaft me.

Ha! I woulda resorted to that method months ago pal. Scan are usually ok with such things from my experience with them, they are all I use now and I know you do too. FIngers crossed, then you can get a proper card from ATI

Well I came out of it with a smile

Got rid of the old card and replaced it with the gtx570 gs glh.

Just about to give it a test, see what happens

WTF is wrong with you?! ANOTHER nVidia card? Sigh, you feed them, put roof over their head, try to learn them about gfx-cards and stuff and what happens? This...



Hope it works out for you Chav.

I wasnt offered my money back, policy changed at scan to say its like for like or next best model.

Played 3 games and its all gravy

570 is an excellent card ... Love mine as well

[Super]

570's are seriously great graphics cards!!  as long as cooling is sorted... but that looks ok on your new one.

Yeah! listen to the 570-fanboys for proper and sound advice on gfx-cards   , and ignore my ATI fan nubbism

I call queer dutch abuse of admin-powers!
