| busyman94's Full Review: PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4600, (128 MB) AGP Video Car... |
I bought a PNY Verto TI GeForce AGP graphics card from CompUSA a year and 2 months ago and paid $189.99 plus tax for it. I am an online gamer. Worked well, loved the graphics it produced until last week when it just died while doing some word processing. TROUBLE! Tried rebooting. My Athlon XP 2100 on Soyo Dragon Ultra would not boot--black screen. I put a different graphics card in the system and the system worked perfectly. Put the PNY graphics card in a different system and that system would not boot either. The card was DEAD.
Problem: Then I discovered that the "Lifetime Replacement Warranty" is only good till PNY quits producing that product for the market--about a year if you are lucky.
Interesting Note: If you buy the same PNY Verto graphics cardss in Europe, you get a 5-year replacement warranty--no fine print. My guess is that in Europe,PNY could not get away with this "Lifetime Replacement Warranty" that isn't.
