This is why I don't like ATI cards as well... the warranties from all of the partners except the brand-new ATI partner XFX (which is good and previously only did nVidia cards) have massive horror stories that are consistent and common.
I know this doesn't help... but just to warn people for the future. XFX for ATI or just go nVidia .
my ticket still hasnt been viewed, and it was submitted in october. i dont want to call them again, because i get the run around, and am told to pay to ship (note, this is A 2ND rma, meaning that it was rma'd once, and i got back a bad card. plus for having waited a bit over 5 months.... i should not have to pay anything extra.... ). this company sucks
i RMA'd a Sapphire X850XT, and after 2 weeks of no response after i sent it to them, i emailed them and the next day they said they found my card and sent me a replacement the next day.
while they did lose it at first they atleast responded quickly and got it taken care of.
doesnt compare to Western Digital tho, as soon as they got my hard drive i had refurb in my hands the NEXT day.
doesnt daimond have an address to ships RMA's too? i mean call them and try to get a faster response dont wait on the website ticket. they might be able to give you an RMA number over the phone, then write RMA and the number on all the sides of the box and ship it to the address they give you.
