Having got used to using a 6900 XT now, I'd not want to let it go and go back to less performance. Been a long time since I've been able to max out any game I play.

You're not helping me resist a lovely lovely Red Devil 6900XT you know. Stop it.

I just received a 6900XT from another shop, i got lucky seeing one in stock when I got home from work. Anyway it’s just in a anti static bag with no box or labels or anything. For a £1100 graphics card that seems a bit of a joke, or is it because it’s a reference design direct from AMD?

I would get a full refund though be aware bitcoins don't have consumer rights associated with paying in uk currency

Powercolor AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB Graphics Card brown box

I’m sure the “brown box” part wasn’t there yesterday or the day before. But if it was I guess I’ll keep the card.

Well, at least it wasn't a PS5 box with cat food it it.

Get it installed and enjoy - beast of a card. Just ask for a discount as it was sold as non retail. Does it say 'brown box' on the invoice?

Overlag · 8 Jan 2021 at 15:26

Nope nothing about brown box on invoice. Strange.

Well I'd argue with them it's b-grade /used and not retail then. Ask for discount as you didn't receive what you paid for which was a retail version.

I see above someone got a different card than the red devil they ordered. AFew years ago from same etailer, I bought a 7990 non Ghz edition and they sent me a Ghz edition. So I won that time.

Without a box would usually indicate stock allocated to pre-built units. With CPUs, they arrive in trays ass opposed to individual boxes so that might be the reason for lack of package. It wouldn't indicate a lower quality card though but if it is pre-build allocation then I thought they weren't allowed to sell those retail?

Just spoke to them, everybody who ordered a red devil or an MBA 6900XT that day received the same thing. Big foul up in the warehouse

Not sure what there is to work out they supplied a part that you didn't order so they will need to arrange a return and either sent out the part you ordered or give you refund simples!

Overlag · 8 Jan 2021 at 17:56

Yeh I’m not sure what there is to work out either. Unless a staff member has done some fiddling...

Dontrocktheboat · 8 Jan 2021 at 18:36

Return that crap mate, ASAP.

Only issue is i paid with bitcoin so will lose fees and likely get a bad exchange rate too.

what kind of store lets you pay with bitcoin? ?

OCUK does too... it’s not abnormal to accept bitcoins.

willhub · 8 Jan 2021 at 20:05

I'd keep the card, or ask for a discount because if you return it you're going to be waiting AAAAGGGEEES for another card.

henson0115 · 8 Jan 2021 at 20:08

doesn't surprise me from those guys, stoped using those noobs years ago, many on the list. they need to change the n to an m...
demand a refund, sounds like they are selling parts that should be used in a build which is likely oem?
