^^As long as the customs doesn't catch him, its fine. Tell him to get rid of the outer box and get it in a drab looking brown box.

rsmanoj · Sep 15, 2006

then should he be makin it look like a used one ... what about the wires that come with it ?

Chaos · Sep 15, 2006

Naa... just make sure that the box doesn't scream the world's fastest graphics accelerator

. Your friend can just claim it costs 20$ and get away with it then. Thats what i did when i got mine in february. I had a dell 2005 as well so just claimed that it was an "accessory with my monitor" :rofl:.

Really cool :hap2: So i guess he shud leave the package there and bring it in a different package.

SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XT 100149 Video Card - OEM at Newegg.com

Is there any other deal on the net better than this ... if so do let me know guys

TheMask · Sep 16, 2006

^^ thats a OEM card. Check how much warranty u get with it from newegg. Also check if Sapphire offers more warranty (Manufacturer's warranty) on the same card.

Aditya · Sep 16, 2006

Retail is for 300$ as well :|.

rsmanoj · Sep 16, 2006

So iif that is not that i should get please suggest any other site... i am lookin for a Sapphire card

rsmanoj · Sep 16, 2006

Infact they charge $39.99 for 1 year warranty, $49.99 for 2 years and
$59.99 for 3 years.

rsmanoj · Sep 17, 2006

Is this a better deal than the X1900 XT
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XTX 100150L Video Card - Retail at Newegg.com

My friend will be buying this monday.
the XT is a OEM and this XTX one is a retail version .. Which one should I go for ???

Rave · Sep 17, 2006

get the xtx, and claim the Mail in rebate

Sapphire shud honour MIRs...

rsmanoj · Sep 17, 2006

I went throught the pdf for MIR but could not get the clear picture... could u brief me abt MIR

rsmanoj · Sep 17, 2006

So a retail card includes the manufacture's warranty rite ???

Nikhil · Sep 17, 2006

MAil in rebate means your friend in the US can get a cheque for 30$ from Sapphire (or newegg) abt a month or so after you buy the card.

And yeah....retail card means full warranty...

For a card like this which is heat all inclusive, it would be better to buy from India in case it fails later, say after a yr or so.

The same happened to 9800Pro's although those were Power color and Club 3Ds.

rsmanoj · Sep 17, 2006

Well then I guess I would be going for this one :hap2:

You would probably get a replacement quicker if u send back a dead card to the us and then get back one and then ask someone to get it back rather than give the local card here for warranty servicing... they take months

Actually, one would get a replacement sooner if one doesnt waste time, energy and money trying to prove that poor OCing chip was the root cause of all evil, and actually follows teh RMA process.
