err, I bought a 4870x2 from a seller on Craigslist which turned out to be faulty and am hoping I can RMA it.

Thats why you never buy hardware on craigslist. Unless its a XFX which had a double lifetime warrenty :/
Sounds like you are SOL
Unless someone is kind enough to scan their receipt for me, lesson learned obviously
I've actually done tons of business on Craigslist over the years, this is the first time i've been screwed.
Buy a brand new one, RMA it, and return the one you bought.
or do with i did my faulty patriot ram some guy sold me.
Buy the same product, return the old one as DOA (clean it out properly make it look new) and get your refund.
I had to pay for all the shipping and what ever, but i got my ram fixed

I know theres a few ways around it but than i'll feel kind of bad in the end, maybe as a last resort.

You would feel bad buying a card, RMAing the old one?.
but you feel totally fine with a fake reciept that someone else has for an RMA?
LOL

One is technically theft, the other is I bought something and don't have a receipt could I use yours. Perhaps we just see it differently.
Pretty much, sold AS-IS he told me
The thing is, the card works itself but the second GPU is defective. I've been doing some testing and it does not run at stock settings. I had some luck doing some extreme downclocking but it was still unstable. Running at stock speeds just yields crashes, I need to disable Catalyst AI which in turn only uses the first GPU (Crossfire disabled)
I agree with you and I don't see a problem with what you're trying to accomplish. Visiontek has a faulty piece of hardware that failed inside their warranty period and a reciept is just needed to prove that. It's not like someone made a duplicate fake card and is trying to get a real one in exchange... sheesh people.
this is true.. it's not like the card wasn't payed for legitimately at one moment in time...
Have you already contacted VisionTek and they are asking for the receipt?
Have you tried some older drivers?
I was having a hard time enabling both GPUs with some of the newer drivers and had to roll back to older drivers which worked. Replacing the mobo fixed this problem.

this.
LOL
sigh
You are pretty obtuse. What's wrong with what risqu3 suggested? That's not stealing. Buy a brand new card, don't open it, use the receipt to RMA the defective one, and then return the sealed card. Nobody loses money, you get VisionTek to fix the card, problem solved. That's so much worse than using somebody else's receipt entirely?

nevermind
I've been checking B&M stores but none of them stock the VisionTek 4870x2
I don't know if I want to go through the hassle of buying online and shipping it back for a return, not to mention if theres a restocking fee.
Restocking fees generally apply only if the product packaging has been opened.
Don't you have a store near you where you can do that?
