Crud, i had a feeling i'd start seeing people who are dissapointed with their NPs right after i ordered one. I have bad luck when it comes to buying hardware. Most of the time you can research something all you want but it won't make much of a difference. So when you say you got crappy memory, i assume you mean the infineon? Just curious.
nope from what i have read... even worse EtronTech memory which is suppossed to be pretty bad memory.
if you order to one of newegg.. then if you don't mind an underperforming 9800np then no problem....
300 3Dmarks isn't a big deal to me...i just wanna get what i paid for. Maybe they're not all the same, the latest reviewer for the NP said he got Samsung memory. Maybe they're all different in this batch. I guess you can excange it for the exact same item only.
well we shall soon see, i have seen many reports here of newegg working with people... in my view its not like they will be lossing anything... i plan on buying a much more expensive card so they will be much more compensated of they work with me... i am hoping....
i mean its not like i would have known any better if not for the fact that as we speak i have a 9800np built by ati in my system that kicks the crap out of the sapphire card..... thats at default and at much higher clock speeds... i did overclock it and ran 3dmark.. i had the card clocked at 400/360... got 17700... now on the card i have in the system at 400/331 i got a score of 18,080 ... please explain this to me....
if I get black pcb, I am going to call and see if I can get it exchange for a red pcb (I hope a pro)to match my red fans in my case.;) Newegg will get will look bad for this. Some people from AMDMB forums have order the same card. People is also keeping up with that thread, over 700 views. Sorry to spam AMDMB, but I think all us geeks need to stick together on this kind of stuff.
Edit: a wink for the excuse.
Forget about the overclocking & the way the card performs. Let's say you are buying the card for looks & looks alone.
Lets say your putting this together for your little girl that says oh Daddy all I want is red in my room. So you go out spend the money to paint the room red, get red sheets & so on. Now your down to the last thing, the computer. You have hours in painting the case & drives so everything is red. You have red cables, MB, heatsinks for the RAM, wire sleeve. So now you have everything red then that black card shows up, :( *** do you do now. Eat the damn card & try to get another red card. NO you send that sucker back!!!!!! It's not like you can paint the card... Ya I know your going to say it's just a part that is inside, well why do some companys make the fancy HSF that come on the cards? Looks counts when you are buying anything!!!
Good luck

will you please post a link to the thread for me?
Get now I am spamming with links, I hope I don't get in trouble.
amdmb.com forums ;)
They be glad to hear your story.
dude this is the best forum out there, i think we are pretty cool here with linkage to other forums.. its all about the information.
its just disappointing because i like newegg so much, i would have thought they would be looking out better than this... like i said, i will reserve my true rath for when or if they say tuff luck... and trust me i am more than prepared to pursue legal options.. and they will be made well aware of that... once again its nice to work for a lawyer... i love that company i just want them to do right by me... i believe they will.. so here is to hope.Quote:

Well what makes you think you will get anywhere? It says right there that the item may vary from the picture. And if the SAPPHIRE 9800NP is not performing up to par for 9800NP's that's not neweggs problem, thats SAPPHIRES problem. Do you expect newegg to stop selling Sapphire 9800NP's just because Sapphire is providing a different revision of the 9800NP? It's still a 9800NP. If you persue legal action, I doubt anything but you making a fool of yourself will come of it.Quote:

Woke up early to peek about....I'm a little confused....if newegg has a Sapphire 9800np and sells a 9800np that has no defects AND makes a disclaimer re. pix being different how is it their LEGAL issue? Wouldn't the legal point here involve some conscious chicanery on their part, some intention to deliberately misinform?
I've personally never seen newegg do this. I donno, this whole thing reminds of RMA returns based on non-stock (o/c'd) performance not being achieved. If a customer tells the vendor that he 'doesn't like the H/W' and the vendor OK's it, so be it. But if the vendor maintains a point of stock performance being the qualifier and that they'll not return w/o the 15%, or whatever, then I feel it's just bad luck.
Hate to say this but I thing there's WAY too many nuisance lawsuits out there......
The red and the black pcb are not the same product.
The black pcb is SAPPHIRE OEM RADEON 9800.
The rec pcb is ATI SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800.
The product I bought was listed as ATI SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800.
I expect to get what I bought or I will be having a discussion with NewEggg about deceptive practices.
as being someone who is studying law and plan on attending law school next fall.. believe me I know there are WAY too many lawsuits out there, but its like the guy above me said they are shipping the wrong product out, the ati oem sapphire and the sapphire ati oem are distinctly different products, this makes its fraud. especially when they have had three days to change their ad on the website...
