My second 6600GT just died on me. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!!??

I seriously think there's something wrong with Legend 6600GT's, this is the second one that's died on me within a space of three months.

Stop fiddling!

with what?

 

[supersunbird]

So yours and theyaks one huh?

I wonder what they skimmed on to make it so cheap?

 

[supersunbird]

If anyone has a broken 6600GT not under warrenty anymore, you can buy a Biostar nVidia GeForce7600GS Graphics Card - PCIeX, 256Mb DDR2 128-Bit, DVI, TV-Out- from me for the low low price of R1000.

Shipping included supersunbird?

 

[supersunbird]

Unfortunately not, I have never shipped so I dont know the cost involved, anyone know about shipping stuff?

 

[|tera|]

Well I think I got my words mixed up, by shipping I'm saying courier service etc. not overseas shipping, my apology

 

[supersunbird]

I know what you meant, I've mainly focused on Pretoria because I like giving personal service. So, anyone clued up on couriering?

moral of the story.. rather stay away from legend

Go to your local PO - Speed Services - I have never had hassels with them - charge around R40 for next day delivery if you post before a certain time - varies from PO to PO. They do counter to counter, counter to door and door to door - prices differ.

kalahari and take2 both use speed services and they both charge R29 for shipping but SS whatever u do stay away from courierIT

 

[Elfreako]

Biostar is about the same as Legend lol...IE stay away!!

ANY manuf. can have a part that's dead out of the box, that's not the problem here. What IS a lot more important is how they handle failures ..and, admittedly only once, having met a rep. from Legend, they seem as good as any of the decent ones and definitely better than some!

While not a bad idea to use Speed Services, I balk at the idea of going to the P.O. ..so I do counter to counter at PostNet, who end up using SS anyway - and saves me the misery of having to deal with P.O. staff!

I'm running scared with this thread about 6600GT I was just about to purchase now I don't know anymore...You've got me thinking...

 

[xenithon]

It's got nothing to do with the card itself (ie. 6600GT) but the manufacture making it IMO.

Thanks for the info...Whew!...

Might be, thing that i'm just scared of is that it might be my computer fscking the cards up
