worth returning gigabyte 980?

[DominicNikon]

is it worth returning gigabyte GTX 980? it has a %64 asic quality witch is a lot lower then my 760 and my 980 doesnt even go up to maxwells normal speeds of 1500mhz + even tho gigabyte says its a binned chip.

so its performing lower then a normal 980

if they dont list a guaranteed "asic quality" they dont have to do shit.

normal 980s only go up to 1400...

but I would return it and get a card from a brand that knows what customer service is

[Br3tt96]

They probably won't take it

depends, did you just get it ? and would you mind the downtime ?

If a higher speed is guaranteed and it is actually worse, then definitely you should be able to return it or sue them

maxwells normal is 1500 i thought

[RollinLower]

since asic qualities basically mean nothing, they won't take it i think. also, as long as they havn't claimed that the card would have a good asic quality, they won;t have to take the card.

My 980 is quite happy around 1400, but it will easily go up to 1500 if I OC it.

my 980 struggled at overclocking to 1450mhz

They'll claim it can overclock better on dice/liquid no2 if you try to sue them

still, if you try, they'll get around it. You won't be able to get away with it, you honestly, should just RMA it and get a different brand like EVGA who cares about their customers.

the story is that i went out to buy a evga GTX 970 FTW but when we got to  microcenter they were out of stock and the g1 gaming 980 was only $40 more and the 980 has more cuda cores so i bought that instead
