[UPDATE] - Screwed - Money Needed For New GPU
4 months ago
Well, here’s part two of my wonderful dead GPU saga. After trying to do some more troubleshooting like putting it in another slot on my motherboard, nothing works as I still have the same black screen while the fans on the GPU are still running.
On top of this, MSI has kindly informed me that I only had a year of “international warranty”, which was NOWHERE found on their website as the only warranty policy I could find from them was about them saying that all GPUs come with a 3-year warranty that either starts from the date that they’ve been manufactured, or from the date of purchase of an authorised retailer with an invoice provided.
So, I got in touch with Overclockers UK as that’s where I ordered all of my parts and explained the issue to them. I was told to provide some photos before beginning the RMA process, but my GPU had a small part snapped off due to my computer being mishandled by the airline last year or so. This means that my warranty has been voided.
So, where am I now? I’M SCREWED!
My RTX 4080 costed me about £950, and an RTX 5080 costs about £1,500, which is quite a lot! So, I really need the funds to be able to purchase a new GPU in order to get back into business. My story commissions are open. So, feel free to send me a note on here or a friend request or message on Discord, BlueSky and even on Telegram! I would also appreciate it a lot if you can share this journal around as well.
