So, I won an AMD give away for a Radeon 6800 XT.. AMAZING!! I thought AMD is awesome..
I got the card.. Worked great for two weeks.. Then just crashes left and right.. Open a support ticket with them.
They tell me DDU install this version.. I do that.. Still crashing.. Send them tons of crash reports.
They tell me this seems hardware.. They will need to RMA it.. They ask for proof of purchase
I tell them I won it from THEM! (Not from some random company.. BUT AMD ITSELF, gave them the persons email from AMD that gave it to me)
They tell and I quote "please note warranty service is not applicable for the give away products"
Amazing.. So.. Basically AMD gives away garbage and hopes that is going to build brand loyalty? I have a 700$ card that is useless.. Wasted time installing and debugging all these issues.. If anything.. I have a very bad taste in my mouth from AMD...
I went from wow.. Pretty sure my next processor is going to be a Threadripper to I will never buy an AMD product EVER again, and will be sure to tell my friends the same.
It is weird how optics change how you feel about a company..
