2nd RMA required. MSI support = 0
Pros: Quiet.... but then I can't run a demanding game on it either. So any video card would be quiet,
Cons: Replying to: Pros: When it runs, it is quiet. Cons: This is card #2 after I RMA'd the first, I wish to hell I could return this for a refund. Second card locks up more frequently than the first one. Last lock up was while I was reading a message about a new inventory item - in Team Fortress 2. Not a terribly demanding video task! I want my old 4850X2 back :( Manufacturer Response: Dear Valued Customer, We apologize for the issues that you are having with this product. Please feel free to contact Grace from Customer Service Group directly at 626.271.1004 ext 221 to arrange for a 2nd RMA with prepaid shipping label or advanced replacement. Advanced replacement is subject to product availability and requires a credit card (non-prepaid type) to proceed. Best Regards, MSI Review Team | [email protected] ................................. I have tried nearly everyday to contact the person mentioned in MSI's response to my review. And have had to leave a message every time, and have yet to have it returned. I was pleasantly surprised to have the option to get a card prior to replacement and get a prepaid shipping for the one to be RMA'd, but it is becoming obvious that there is NO WAY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN since they refuse to return my many phone calls.
Card #2 - crashes worse than the first
Pros: When it runs, it is quiet.
Cons: This is card #2 after I RMA'd the first, I wish to hell I could return this for a refund. Second card locks up more frequently than the first one. Last lock up was while I was reading a message about a new inventory item - in Team Fortress 2. Not a terribly demanding video task! I want my old 4850X2 back :(
So-so
Pros: Small, quiet...... mostly run everything well.
Cons: Crashes much MUCH more than my old 4850X2. I have given up on Just Cause 2, Wargame: European Escalation and a couple others.... just gives my blue screen of death, reboots are just locks up.
Overall Review: For the money I expected a card that at least would run well.... still debating how bad I need to play some of these games before I bother with RMA.
