bought a brand new 4850, DOA.
RMA'd it, got a new one from the local tirupati centre , was also of the same batch and DOA.
the dealer stepped in and this time RMA'd it to their main RMA centre in kolkata.
they waited till they recieved a new lot(we said we didnt want another card from the same lot) , and they sent a working card , unfortunately minus the cables and connectors.
They said they'd send em over, but still havent gotten those yet.
this was the experience of a friend who bought a 4850, and the sequence of events has been spread out over a few months
would i buy one ? the answer is kinda obvious ....
