I've got my previous 4850 killed (though I'm not sure, it was memory chip corruption and I've only VModded and OC'ed graphics chip, it can still be my fault) and I've RMA'ed it.
I'm not proud of it, but i didn't have money to buy a new card instead(even the cheaper one). It's actually cheating on manufacturer, and I'd rather buy myself new card and don't even worry about it
if I earn more money. Thare's nothing pleasant in waiting a month while they process my card and thinking if they will replace it at all, or I should go and by myself HD3450.
But you can also consider this as a service. How many cards do they replace a month all over the world? 300? 400? Don't you think the cost of replaced cards is included into the cost they sell cards to dealers at? So you just use the service you had paid for, just like in case with insuarance, when you pay for what may or may not happen in the future.
P.S. All above IMO. And sorry for my English. Just couldn't resist posting.
