    Question From Hercules to Sapphire???

    Found out that my card is faulty... Well it does not like playing DVD’s.

    But when it comes to Games there is not one problem @ all it stupidly smooth and is just too Good TBH.

    But i phoned OC where i purchased the card and they say they don’t sell Hercules brand cards
    any more but gave me a chose out of the other makes they sell,
    So i asked for a Sapphire replacement?

    Is this wise?

    The card i have at the mo is
    Hercules ATI 3D Prophet 9800 Pro 128MB
    and the replacement will be
    Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR Lite Retail


    Should i just keep the Hercules brand card or should i get it replaced by the Sapphire?
    Or am i making to much of a deal over this?

    All Posts would be Grateful.

    Thanks

    Personally I would not accept a lite version, go for the full version, thats what you bought, thats whats failed, thats what you should get as a replacement, besides, since you bought your hercules the price has dropped like a stone, so I think they are trying to hope you will take the eww lite.

    it's lite retail, which means it's a full 9800pro but without any games etc - it just comes with a driver cd and some cables.
