WTF are you even talking about?
Yes you definitely have a good argument when youre forced to resort to ridiculous hyperbole to make any point :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Do you understand how products work in this country? you arent allowed to sell them without a warranty, a warranty is not just "we...
Wow these shitheads! i just contacted them yesterday asking what was holding my RMA up, now they email me back this morning saying they ran out of cards again! (This was after the moron on the phone ASSURED me that they had a ton of replacement inventory for my broken-fan RMA) They just fucking...
lol came back to update and digital viper X is having the same problem as me.
The people at msi were willing to refund me $400, but would not refund my tax or my shipping. I found an xfx 280x locally and bought it, then the morons at msi decided to send me a replacement card and cancel my...
Yes ive seen your posts before.. you mention it a lot. i have an asus pb278Q that has absolute crap black levels, it has no glass. Ive used an imac 27" before and the black levels look equal if not better than my asus pb278Q.
Seems too close to apple cinema prices.. which resell for much higher and you can walk into an apple store and just pick one up if im not mistaken (which means you can guarantee you get one with no dead pixels and stuff)
anything wrong with my statement?
Im giving people a heads up what to expect. Thats all, take it or leave it.
Im lucky that there are helpful people on this forum that are giving me some useful advice though. :)
Thank you for the advice, much appreciated, probably going to go this route.
This made me crack up. Thanks, ill call straight to the main RMA department tomorrow when i have time and probably get it sorted out with them.
It should be noted that some companies like EVGA will get you a card pretty much asap. I think they even give you a loaner card to use in the mean time or something?
The day the card died their entire rma online system was down (i called in after it failed to submit my rma info several times and they confirmed that it would be down the whole day) so i did the RMA over the phone. Thats fine. Then they take their sweet time with the RMA, thats fine. Then they...
I will definitely keep everyone up to date as to what happens with either a refund or repair. They state that a "replacement card" can take up to 15 days to ship out to you after receipt of the RMA card (why? who knows).
I dont remember ever having to do RMA on a card, but i would expect this...
Id be fine with them paying what i paid for it, they didnt even offer that, they just emailed me saying they got an "hq approved rma credit of $265".. Thats great except i spent $435 on this card, and then $12 shipping it to them insured.
It ran under 80 deg C the whole time. Youre going to have to fill me in as to how i killed this card. Ive had older amd cards that run 70 deg idle in my pc. Theyve been trucking for 5 years.
A lot of shitty r280x let you underclock, its not about overclocking capabilities, its about not locking your card, especially a gaming card that demands a premium.
Basically, i get it, you want to thread shit. Now please tell me why anyone should buy an msi card after hearing what im telling...
Bought an MSI r9 280x "gaming edition" for mining purposes which was more expensive than my other options purely because it had a 3 year warranty.
1) Undervolting/overvolting is a crap shoot with these cards, msi's own afterburner program needs a special config file to allow undervolting, and...
Xaeos, heres a hint, usually when you click on a link on hardforum in the hot deals it pops up a YOU SHOULD BUY THIS AT AMAZON INSTEAD link even when the price is higher.. why do you think that is??
Get a $200 receiver it will sound fine. The problem with the sub is it has a super high 200hz crossover (im estimating but thats why logitech sounds like shit), so your B&W CM8 will sound like muddy junk.
I have an epson 1080p projector and the fan isnt an issue even despite being right above my head (its a really silent fan) and the whole point of it IS the ginormous screen.
Youre right though, i thought that sony was able to take a native 4k signal, pretty lame that it cant.
Pretty insane how the monitors are almost edge to edge, but at the end of the day i would rather have a 4k projector for $10k.
The human eyes have depth perception and we have the ability to sense scale very well, so even if you sit close enough to a shoebox sized screen that it takes up the...
The whole point of dorm speakers is to annoy the shit out of everyone else, bring the sub!!!!!
The real reason why subs are annoying is because of bass humps due to the tuning of their design (passive radiators and ports result in box tuning), if the company tunes it on purpose to have a bass...
Bought this last time it was on sale for $3.75, i beat it within 2 days, very fun, but i feel like the game should have MP, it would definitely extend the replayability, ive had no desire to go back and play any of the levels.
Dungeon defenders does have loot grinding, but i also think MP...
I got it for $500 refurb due to cashback... its lasted me 2.5 years without a problem. Also i used a colormunki photo ($450 calibrator) 3 months ago didnt actually make that huge of a difference. Editing photos is still a crapshoot because a labs rip software will do whatever it wants with a...
Yeah my 2490 was refurb, i have no idea how many hours are on it, ive put at least 7000 hours on it, it blinds me at anything higher than like 30% brightness still. I have no idea how to view hours.

Finally amazon price matches newegg. Im still not sure why newegg charges tax to people living in california for xbox live subscriptions..
Pretty brilliant website, although its stupid how he promotes a DAC magic on the bottom as if that will let people hear a difference.. lets do some blind testing between amps and DACs and anything thats functioning correctly will sound the same to 99.999999% of people
Well if it can be done then tell us how. Note that a boxee makes no noise and it has an RF remote.... ill let an IR remote slide though. also has to output everything over hdmi.
I guess ill do the car analogy thing... WD live is a toyota camry, boxee is an Audi a4. Yes they are both vehicles but one is an appliance and the other is a car.
