Failure after 9 months

Reviewed By: M. Smith on 9/23/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: For 6-8 months, had two in SLI config. with all the necessary functioning equipment to utilize a quadcore and these two cards. Worked very well on any modern software.

Cons: Complete failure at 9 months. Cards first started creating "dead pixels" on my LCD. Had no way to disprove this as my monitor was aging past 3 years. Today the cards totally failed to render any images and resulted in what I could only describe as a total resolution refresh with every new action taken from the computer.
When I purchased these cards they were new, so these total reviews about failure before 1 year were not available. ***DO NOT PURCHASE THESE CARDS***

Other Thoughts: -"Dead Pixels" @ 4-6 months.
-Weird graphical errors, parts of resolution shading strangely @ 5-7 months. Noticed when BioShock was purchased.
-Total failure @ 9 months.

Card Failed after nearly 1 year

Reviewed By: ColdFire on 9/19/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Price was right for the features (I thought)

Cons: Card going bad at less than 1 year old. Have read several reviews stating the same problems.
**DO NOT BUY THIS CARD!**
Newegg requires the original box for RMA. Who has the space to keep the box for every product they buy? If I kept every box from all of the products I have bought from NewEgg alone, I would need a bigger house...

Other Thoughts: NewEgg sent me directly back to MSI for RMA/replacement. MSI doesn't even want the accessories, let alone the stupid box for RMA.
