My brother had a high-end Sapphire 1900 series card several years back that failed. They didn't have any more, and offered a substantially inferior card as a replacement. They wouldn't even let him pay the difference to upgrade to the next-best offering.
I have a Sapphire 5770. The hardware is great, but I'm sorry, the drivers are absolute shit. I've ranted before on the issues I've had with the drivers for this card, so I won't go in to it again. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:hardware- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Stan Zaske > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 9:05 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] Replacement Card - was Re: ATI CATALYST 10.2 & 10.3 > Driver Preview - Final Thoughts and conclusions > > My experience with Sapphire RMA process was very fast.
