Thanks and yes I did PM him last Friday. So I am hoping he gets back to me soon.

I did provide provide a valid proof of purchase and that the warranty was never transferred. That is why they RMAed the original faulty GPU thus validating the the lifetime warranty.

Nope when they RMAed the card I purchased they verified the lifetime warranty by law. If they were going to claim the warranty was invalid they should have done so at that time. They also should not have confirmed to me before purchase that as long as the card was brand new and not registered...

That is more or less what they are pulling. Despite having provided my invoice both times. They are saying that when the card was originally RMAed that the person did not verify my invoice and because I purchased the card on eBay (which at the time I was told by XFX would not be an issue and...

In the case of the XFX lifetime warranty it specifically say lifetime of the buyer. Not manufacturing lifetime. So by law as long as the company is in business yes I expect them to honor anything after 50-60 years. However, in this case we are not talking 50-60 years. We are talking less than 4...

Yes I PMed them on Friday. I have not heard back from them and that is why I made this post. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Just a heads up to any of you who have an XFX GPU with a lifetime warranty. It seems XFX is refusing to honor their lifetime warranties any longer. I have a R9 280X with a registered lifetime warranty. The card had to be RMAed back in 2015, therefore validating the warranty. However, when I...

Got my old account back, so now I'm JeffC not Sir jaxxy LOL Any way I am using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Problem is I live in the desert so it is hot and dusty. Bad combination for computers. So I have issues when overclocking anything to far. Not to mention this CPU has been running for...

I just want to thank Mark @XFXSupport for all his help. He has really gone above and beyond to provide great customer support!

Thanks everyone. I sent the XFX rep here a PM. Hopefully we can work something out.

OK So I am getting this, see photo, at random times. I contacted XFX support and they sent me the latest bios to flash. After flashing the bios every game I tried to play crashed my GPU. The support rep told me if I RMA the card it will take up to 3 weeks for me to get another card back...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your help. We ended up getting an XFX BE DD 280X off eBay for only $165. I am sure that down the road we will be upgrading to a 380 4GB but for now we need to save up so I can get a 390 in the next couple of months.

Problem is that the 2GB on the 285 is rather limiting.

I don't see the prices of the 290 & 290X to continue going up. As is they are already well above the 390 which is a better card. But, if I am wrong and they do then I will just pick up a 390 down the road. Either way just wondering if picking up a second 6950 will give enough of a performance...

Does anyone know what the performance increase is running 2 6950 cards in crossfire over a single 6950? I might just go that rout if it will run Witcher 3 until the 290/290X stabilize.

Sadly I am 40 posts/comments short of being able to comment on any of the FS/FT post :(

I would get the XFX 280X, however, it is $35 more then the PowerColor :( I have always been hesitant to buy used components. Had a really bad experience doing that many years ago. Though at this point I might look into it.

I would love to get a 290 or 290X. Problem is ever since the 300 launch they have been going up in price. The lowest I have seen them lately is for around $280 for the 290 and $310 for the 290X. At those prices I would just buy a 390. Sadly that just is not in the budget.

OK so the XFX DD BE R9 280 is not worth an extra $50 over the XFX DD R9 280. Is a R9 280X worth an extra $40 over a 280? If so is PowerColor TurboDuo AXR9 280X 3GBD5-T2DHE/OC a good card?

In that case the non black edition seems to be a no brainer. Can you explain how to do it or link me to more information?

If I am reading the benchmarks right the 280 actually out preforms the 285. I have no issue with overclocking it. My main thinking, though, was the 380 would be more future proof as far as GCN 1.2 and DX12.

What I really wanted to get was a 290X but seeing they are more then the new 390 that's not happening. I was looking at the XFX DD 280 and DD BE 280. Is the 280 really equal to the 380? If so I might go with the XFX DD BE R9 280 as from the benchmarks I found it seemed to get 20 FPS or more over...

I am looking to buy my wife a new GPU. She wants to be able to play new heavier demanding games like Witcher 3. Don't mind playing at 30 FPS on average. Will be playing in 1080p. I am liking what I am seeing so far of the R9 380. What I don't know is if, in this case, the extra 2GB is worth...

I have to say I consider myself to be an "Enthusiast" as I need power for my day to day work as a game commentator and video editor. However, I am not an "Overclocker" as I my work demands an extremely stable system. I have been reading the forums here for many years now even though I only...

I just wanted to update everyone on what I got. I am getting the MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 for my system and keep my 1090T for now. I also got the Patriot Viper 3 8GB DDR3 2133 as it was only about $10 more then the 1600. We are then going to put my MSI 890FXA-GD70 with the 8GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws...

Sorry for not updating this sooner. We have been in the midle of a move and lost internet access for the past 4 days. Anyway thought I would let everyone know what the final decision is. I am going to get the MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 for my system and keep my 1090T for now. We are then going to put my...

If I go with DDR3-1600 or DDR3-2133 will I have to down clock it for it to work with my 1090T? I would like to buy the faster memory now so I have it when I get the Piledriver rather then have to buy DDR3-1333 now and then buy the DDR3-2133 when I get the PD. of course if I do the my wife will...

Thanks runs2far. As for my plans. I am looking at getting one of these 3 mobos. Waiting for some input on which is the better but leaning to either the MSI or the GIGABYTE as I don't know much at all about ASRock. GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional MSI 990FXA-GD80V2...

OK Another quick question. This came up realizing that I am going to be moving CPUs to new boards I will need Thermal Compound. So I went to Newegg to stick some in my wish list and was dumbfounded. I have always thought that Thermal Compound was more of a one size fits all. I honestly have now...

OK now I am confused. So will or won't the 925 handle DDR3? I was pretty sure it would but just a quick confirmation would be nice. Also are there any potential specs on the PD 8320/8350 chips yet? What aphasia suggested seems to be the most logical solution. Of course this is if 1) the 925...

OK I need to update my wife's system. She is running on an old mobo that only take DDR2 and she is only running 4GB and needs 8GBs. She is also running an older Phenom II x4 925. Our original plan was to update my rig and then use those parts to update her's. I have an MSI 890FXA-GD70 with a...

So if I was to get one it sounds like for the time being I would be better off going with a C300?

Thanks Danny. I will stick with the Raven and start researching the unlocking of the 6950. Thanks for the advice on the keyboards. It is so logical and yet I never would have thought of it. I'll post back after I order. BTW is there any word on when the new SSDs are going to start appearing...

After waiting for almost a month to see where things stand with the new LGA1155 mobos I think I have just about narrowed down my new build. This is how it is currently looking: $159.99 - Silverstone Raven RV02-BW Matte black 0.8mm Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case $149.99 - XFX Black...

If there was more info on the 120hz monitors, Like a release time frame and price range I might try to push my current monitor. But from the sounds of it folks have been waiting over a year for these and there is still no information on them. The other problem is I don't want to wait and then...

Thanks, the Samsung P2770FH is on my list above and the one I am leaning towards. The LG looks nice but is out of my price range by ~$100.

any idea when these will be available? As much as I would love to wait another month it is not an option as my current monitor is dying a slow death and driving me nuts as it goes :( Also what type of GPUs are we talking to run these new models? Jeff

I am purchasing a new Monitor and am having trouble deciding. Would love to know which of the fallowing you think is the better gaming monitor: $299 - ASUS VE276Q Black 27" 1920X1080 2ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor $309 - PLANAR PX2710MW Black 27" 2ms Full HD HDMI WideScreen LCD...

OK I am just wondering if backlit is better and worth an extra $40+? Here is a good example. These 2 monitors are identical except for one is backlit: $289.99 - ASUS VE276Q Black 27" 1920X1080 2ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor $329.99 - ASUS VE278Q Black 27" 1920x1080 2ms Full HD HDMI...
