Hello,
6 months ago I purchased an nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 8x graphics card. In December the card stopped working, so I took it back to the store. Two months later, after numerous attempts to contact them, they said they don’t have Ti 4200 cards in stock anymore, and offered to replace it with an FX 5600 (non ultra). After doing some research and finding that the 5600 preforms up to 40% worse than the Ti4200, I declined their offer, and said I would accept an FX 5700 at minimum. They replied that their offer is non-negotiable.
I feel that this is extremely unfair and very poor service. The card they are offering performs significantly worse than the card it is to replace, as well as being around half the price of the Ti4200. I thought I would post here to get your expert opinion as the premiere hardware review site on the web of what should be considered a comparable and acceptable replacement product to a Ti4200 8x, given that there are no more GeForce4 cards available in the supply chain.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
