Impressed

Yesterday I ordered a Sapphire X1900XT 512mb ram graphics card from Scan. I did this after a lot of researching into which companies are rated well for things like customer support, after sales... answering the bloody phone you know stuff like that. I had a bad experience with Overclockers.co.uk who I think suck at customer support and I didn't want the same thing to happen again.

So anyway, yesterday at 11pm I thought I'd order my card by doing things the old fashioned way - yes, I rang them! Imagine my shock when a polite sales staff answered, seemed knowledgable and quickly told me my card was in stock and when it would be delievered ie midday tomorrow. I placed my order and waited... a whole 24 hours as it arrived a few hours ago. Great service!

Fair enought it cost about £15 more than some other places ie Overclockers, savastore etc but personally I'd rather pay a little bit extra and know if it goes up the swanny I should be able to contact Scan and get the problem sorted.

I'm now looking forward to replacing my 7800 GT with this and cranking up detail/resolution and frame rates even higher :dribble:

I buy from scan all the time As you say the service seems to be really good, price isn't bad either (sometimes they're cheaper than the others too, depends on the product)

They have a support forum section on the //www.hexus.net forums and once your post count is up to a decent level you can get free p&p (and that's for urgent next day delivery!) which makes tham a better deal than other places a lot of the time

I use Scan quite a lot now as well, they've really improved their service over the last year or two!

Why did you replace a 7800GT though?  That's a decent card, I have one! :biggrin:

Your right Barley the 7800 GT is a good card, its just that my father in law wants a new pc building, and wanted the same GC as me, so he's giving me a decent price on it which has allowed me to upgrade to the x1900xt.

Had a quick go in BF2 last night, and had the option of turning up the AA from x4 to x6 (well it would be rude not too :smile:) and I can tell the difference, certainly higher frame rate.

I run BF2 at maximum settings on my 7800GT anyway, never noticed and problems
