So you are saying it's perfectly ok to use a picture of a different card
than what you are selling and to also include a ti500 moniker to go with it?

The Gainward GF3 ti550 is a ti500 that has faster memory in it than the
reference design and is clocked to 550 mhz, hence the name. And yes I
already said in the original post that I received a basic GF3.

Here is the ad:

This is what I received:

And like I said, not only was it a different board but it had a bad fan

on
it. I emailed the sell yesterday and have not received a response from

him.
I send another email today. I think he owes me a credit back to my

paypal
account or a complete refund.

from

a
GF3 ti550 and thats not what he got. It was also faulty. I also

said
it
depends how the seller advertised the card and what he printed and my
responses take the facts as reported by the OP as read.

Theres no such thing as a real "Ti550" - Gainward calls the Ti200 a
"Ti500" for some retarded reason. Hence, I say - **** gainward.

The Poster has not yet confirmed which card he has.

It seems to me you chose not to read the ad and just went by the generic
picture he used since he didnt include photos of the actual card in his
possession. The description seems to describe exactly what you received.
Albeit, there was no mention of a dead fan, which could be a coincidence

as
others mentioned on occasion they have received cards with dead fans, but
they tried to resolve the issue with the seller 1st. Which anyone should
do.
