Absolutely. I think the longer you leave it, the more overclockers will get suspicious. I cant say
I really blame them because they sell to the people that are more likely to break the gear
(overclockers and tinkerers) and are probably used to people trying to send back stuff that was
overvoltaged or whatever and broke. Obviously, you hve not broken it and its a dud card, but the
longer you keep it, the more you will be lumbered with OCs inherently suspicious returns policy.

E-mailed them with the issues this morning. Wish me luck and thanks for
your interest and help. (..and as I see Doom 3 is about to come out I'm
hoping it doesnt take long to resolve)! Shaun

With ocUK? It's bound too!

I had a foa (faulty on arrival) motherboard, returned it after much
emailing and testing different configs (different psu, video card,
memory config etc etc), it sat on one of their benches for a week
before they even started testing.

They appear to only check emails twice a day at 8am and 6:30pm. I
found this with both the technical dept and the presales questions
people too. Very odd company policy and a complete bitch if you're
having one of those "can you try this..." one step at a time fault
identifying sessions, they ask at 8am, you reply by 9 and then nothing
else happens until 6:30pm.

Good luck.

Well the good news is that they issued an RMA without any problems. Fingers
crossed they dont put this on a bench for a week however they have said send
it back for a replacment so perhaps there is a bad batch?

Damn. I haven't seen anything like that with any of mine. Wait, the
first Ti4600 I had DID have very tiny yellow flecks show up onscreen,
but only after first entering any 3D mode. Didn't matter if OGL or D3D,
just a 3D mode. I first realized I was having this problem in
Morrowind.
It was hardware, not the ram (that happened to be bad from the beginning
on the 2nd Ti4600). Something else in the hardware 'broke' when going
into 3D for some reason.
It could be drivers, mobo/chipset drivers as well as video (for the AGP
slot), memory on the vid card, poor seating in the AGP slot. Process of
elimination time. Check to see what AGP settings you have in your mobos
BIOS?

For everyone that tried to help on this one just to let you know
Overclockers UK RMA's and exchanged the card with no fuss whatsoever and now
I'm up and running and so far (touches wood) there are no issues and I'm a
much happier guy. Thanks all, Shaun
