Not for the 1080, 100us more for thermal throttling

I HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING FOR THEIR PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

doesn't most of the GPU companies require you to pay to ship it?

anyways 1 week RMAs are very uncommon, expect 2 weeks and above if you're lucky. i was one of the lucky ones with rma as asus got my 290 swapped with a 390 in 9 days, but i know its quite uncommon for this to happen.

You need a return number, so go through the RMA process. If you have a iGPU then at least you have that.

My mobo doesnt have integrated.

You could pick up a cheap used graphics card, or borrow one if you have a friend with a spare.

I'm gonna try my best on the phone

Advance RMA no? This is where they get your CC details, they send you a card, you send your one back if it is defective then nothing is charged else they would charge how ever much the card is worth onto your card .

 

One more thing, why do you think companies are going to treat you like a king? They want the most amount of profit and one way in that is making their customer support very very shitty .

[Alpha741]

I just want to be treated well. If i damaged the card and it was my fault I understand, but i payed for their product, I just would like proper treatment

Really, I have always had a good time with ASUS. Should I go EVGA then for my 1080?

 

As a current Asus owner - avoid them like the plague

It highly depends on the price point - the 700$ 1080 is barely 20% above the 500$ 980 Ti/Fury X - that is a bad deal for the most part.

the 1070 is launching at 400$ and doesn't have a competitor yet

The RX 480 is launching at 230$ and will exhibit performance like that of a 980/Fury.
