I recently purchased a used Sapphire R9 280x vapor-x OC from Amazon for $170.Problem is that when I am playing games it will randomly crash, freeze my computer or display artifacts. This will happen when the game starts, or hours into a game, it is completely random. I contacted Sapphire tech support they basically told me to RMA it. They already approved the RMA if I want to go that route. My dilemma is that I am still within the 30 days to return the item for a refund from Amazon. Should I RMA it and risk getting another one that doesn't work, or should I just return it for a refund. I got a very good deal on the price, which is why I am debating whether I should RMA it, or return it.
