XFX company... Did anyone have problems with their support?
Is it me or is this XFX company awful? Its support sucks, telephone calls kept dropping,
RMA within warranty requires signature confirmation for proof of sending it, they took their own forums down, their support requires members to register, must have serial # and model # or no support, won't answer question about how long it usually take to RMA, etc. I am never buying their cards again. I hope they RMA my card. They have to check on to see if it is really broken and I didn't do anything to void my warranty (had it for 7 months). Bad comments on http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA== (bottom section about XFX).

Well for motherboards I wasn't happy, a relative bought one and there was no tangible support for anything, not even any sign of BIOS updates for newer CPUs. We didn't know at the time it was - I think - just a clone of an ECS/PC Chips type board. Can't say that the board didn't work reasonably well, but my perception of XFX is ruined and I won't even consider a gfx card of theirs. I am probably being unfair, but things like that stick. With cards so similar churned out from so many makers there is no reason to take risks on someone you don't feel right about. However, testing returned products is fairly common to all isn't it? I've been in a "there's nothing wrong with it", "oh yes there is!" loop myself in the past and there's nothing worse than that. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Strange, I've had one dealing with XFX-support, and they replied very fast to my e-mails on the support-page. I've had a broken fan on a GeForce4 card, and they posted me a free one. No proof of anything, they only wanted the serial of the card, that's all. This was some years ago, maybe it's gotten bad since, and I must add that their replacement fan broke down only days later. I put in a fan of my own, and it's been playing ever since. |

XFX company... Did anyone have problems with their support?
My beautiful 6600GT AGP card died a week ago....it was my first
graphics card....Ive requested xfx for help and have got a reply to try changing the power lead....that hasnt worked... I bought the card in Nov 2004 from scan.co.uk who provide a 1 year warranty. XFX does give a two year warranty but from the way their support replied, I dont think they are going to honour this. Im distraught to say the least... |

I bought the 5950 from XFX when it came out. I RMA'd it at least 4 times.
It's still broken, I've moved on to BFG which has some of the best support in the industry. Gus wrote in message ups.com...

My friend, who got me the XFX card and RMA'ed twice so far, shows me why XFX has bad support:
Session Start (ant:O): Mon Jul 17 23:04:16 2006 [23:04] O: xfx support REALLY ****es me off now. [23:04] *** Auto-response sent to O: AFK: Ant is currently temporarily away from his computer at the moment. He is probably in the restroom or somewhere close by... [23:18] O: they called me today...and said they didn't find what i reported to them wrong. [23:18] O: and i said...oh?... [23:18] O: he said..yea..the fan spins. [23:18] O: and i told him that I never reported the fan not working. [23:19] O: so he told me that's not what he saw on the ticket. [23:19] O: so i told him what had gone on. [23:19] O: how it was a second bad card..the nvidia control panel problem..and what not. [23:19] O: and he's like..oh..i don't see that. [23:19] O: i'm like..because it's an extension of the original ticket from the first rma. [23:20] O: what a bunch of liars. [00:47] *** "O" signed off at Tue Jul 18 00:47:15 2006. Frustrating!!
