Great news, that's the kind of answer I was hoping for! As always, PCS Forums are a font of knowledge.
@MrWilson I'm guessing that you can expect an EVGA in your build if your GPU was at fault, as our GPU's would be coming off the same pile. I'll be interested for the...
Sorry, yes, I understand that PCS can supply me whatever card is available.
My question was regarding the performance/opinion of the card vs. the Gigabyte equivalent
As we know, the RTX 3070s which were being supplied were manufactured by Gigabyte. Popular opinion seemed to be that this was the card you would pick for best performance (if you had the option...)
My replacement card has just arrived and is manufactured by EVGA. Is this a downgrade? Or...
In an effort to seem more balanced:
DPD were actually brilliant with the delivery of my PC, and the RMA for the replacement part I received last week. My local DPD driver is excellent, and yes, I did my good deed and gave him 5/5 stars and a little message telling him he had earned a noddy...
Me too! NI perhaps are different, but we have experienced nothing but poor handling from them.
Judging by the banana shaped PCs on here at the moment something must be going badly wrong! It takes seriously substandard handling to dent a PC when they come packaged as well as they do from PCS.
+1 for leaving that driver as much negative feedback as possible.
The company I work for use Parcelforce for our outgoing deliveries of vast quantities of glass bottles containing medicines, amongst other things. We swapped to DPD a couple of years ago as the savings were significant but were...
First off, I'm really sorry to see the damage to your new PC. It must be really disheartening after your wait.
Personally, I wouldn't want to look at that damage on what is quite a significant financial investment. It's your call really as to how you feel about that.
When I spoke to PCS...
Just another thing I have noticed, there isn't enough room to have the two case fans both at the front. The inlet/outlet fittings on the rad are too close to the fan mounting area unfortunately.
I guess this could be sorted at a later date by sourcing a couple of thinner fans in the unlikely...
No problem. Does seem a shame when the gigabyte seems to generally be regarded as the 'better' card. I did say they could just swap me out for a Ti if they wanted...
Glad to hear you've got something to keep you busy. This is my first PC so in the meantime I'm back to the Xbox and Farm...
Another update:
I have just spoken to PCS again. As always, really helpful guys on the support team. They have arranged for a replacement RTX 3070 to be sent out to me, as they are 99% sure that it is a GPU failure due to the symptoms of black screen and artifacting. Providing they have a...
