Zooly Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think my card is on the way out but its less than 6 months old and I'm not sure where I stand, the shop I purchased it from won't take it back (or I doubt they would) so what is my alternative? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted May 11, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 New card? No warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The manufacturer should replace it. My son had a 2 year old XFX card that went tits up and they sent a replacement Try the manufactures websiteyou never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 11, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Ditto Zooly m8, there should be no question of any retailer failing to replace a faulty part less than 12 months old. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooly Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm giving them a ring tomorrow, I know they have none in stock though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted May 13, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 If they haven't any in stock then they should get one for you, or if they have anything about them they should offer you an equivalent. They've had your money........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooly Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I phoned the shop and they are taking it in to check it out, stuck with the ATI 5750 for a while now but I hate the damn thing as its crap for Il2 due to low framerates. If someone has an answer to that little problem I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gec Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 i had a 5750 and was really satisfied with it. it was not the best the money can buy but was never below 40-60 fps. not sure what answer exactly u r looking for but there is a lot of posts on this and other forums about settings for Ati cards. search box is the best friend i'll check it also and will post the links when i find them here is one: http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6803-ati-settings-that-work-for-il-2/page__p__76215__hl__ati%20settings__fromsearch__1entry76215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooly Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 managed to achieve more acceptable frame rates but its still nowhere near as stable as with my nvidia card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 If it is on the way out and they offer you a replacement perhaps try a little negociating and see if they'll substitute an Nvidia card instead? Gotta be worth a try. Also, I seem to remember an interview a couple of years back with a member of Oleg's team who said stick with Nvidia for SoW. I don't know my arse from my elbow when it comes to such things but your old card is still performing faultlessly in my machine m8. Advice threads about gfx cards and IL2 seem to centre around two themes; how to get even more performance from Nvidia cards or how to eliminate gfx glitches with ATI cards.
