I recently purchased 3 ATI cards from a individual. All three cards need repairing a X850XT 256mb, X800XL 256mb, and a 9800pro 256mb, they all have the white tags still with the s/n and p/n on them two of the the labels appear to have been exposed to moisture but still ledgable. They look very clean almost new looking I did confirm they are waxed they all produce images but with alot of distorted vertical lines across the screen. I paid 50 bucks for all three I was wondering if maybe they were still under warranty or if not, does anyone no how costly it is to send them to ATI for repair, and how much of a pain it is..Okay Ill cut to the chase did I shaft myself ya think. I'm newbe to this forum Im going to attempt to attach a pic of them hope it works any feed back would be greatly appreciated thanks

Yea ATi should be able to RMA those unless ofcource they are modded then it would be un ethical to RMA them the only one you might have trouble with would be the 9800 Pro since it is not using the stock heatsink.. ATi is awsome when it comes to RMA tho they are no hassle and get the card replaced for you VERY quickly
