Ouch, that's pretty nasty. Looks like it found its way under a transit van.

One of those DVI slots is deffo a goner, but I'd give the card a 7/10 chance of working via the other DVI (not that I'd suggest trying)

 

[Pjalchemist]

Just test resitance on thr core and it's dead, ether the core or PCB trace! Few SMD's missing!

Well RMSD covers a value of £500 iirc...

So you shouldn't be out of pocket (obviously it is a pita).

 

[Bungral]

Sure it was Royal Mail and not the seller?? That said I dunno how anyone could mangle one up quite like that.

How much do 8800's sell for these days...I'm sure it's about £499 in the "Overclock3D Shop"

LMAO!

What was the packaging like ?

I mean jiffy isn`t really going to cut it for parcel post, u`d surely need original boxing - polystyrene packs at the least.

 

[Brooksie]

I've never seen a card that beaten, and it had to be a GTX

Unlucky.

Yeah, they have that really reasonable £100 listing fee don't they? lol.

Agree with you Rast - a jiffy bag isn't enough at all.

I tohught it might be the seller too...

Looks like someone took a lump hammer to the poor thing .

I got one off the Bay. I had the pci bracket bent a bit too but it worked fine.

I take it you saw pics of the card prior to sale. aka not FUBAR'd.

you could claim via paypal or royal mail though i would expect a rebate for a good month or longer ......

 

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Holy crap, I've received things damaged, but nowhere near that extent. Looks like someone ran over, backed over it and repeated. yikes

We've all seem Ace Ventura.... we know how couriers treat packages

 

[Phoenix]

Lol, that's just sad....It looks like someone took a blowtorch to it and melted the DVI-connector.

Anyone who knows anything knows a jiffy isn't good enough for a graphics card, they weigh a tonne. You will be covered on cost though at least
