The Fastest Video Card You Can Buy

Mack writes "OCAddiction takes a look at the fastest video currently on the market. Here's what they say."With the release of Doom III pending, both ATI and nVidia are scrambling to show their very best product on game day, this we can count on. But as it stands now, the OCSystem Enhanced Radeon 9700 Pro Level III SE is simply the best card your money can buy today.""

    You may wish to check google for more information about OCsystems out, beofre even thinking about buying *anything* there. Look up some stories about OCZ Store and Geil, too. There are a *lot* of fishy things about these three companies (look at their street addresses and you'll get the picture).

    Oh, and did i mention their reseller rating? Go people and check them out - and read fun (read that: horrifying) stories about their "quality" products and their great great customer service.

    Just FYI.

  2. I will never buy anything from OCsystems again by sawilson · · Score: 5, Informative

    as long as I live, no freaking way. I went through
    a living hell with them over some ram. They sell
    this ram called "Expeditious Gamer". It looks like
    something fabulous. I read a few very positive
    reviews on hardware sites. Whether they are paying
    a fortune for false positive reviews, or cherry
    picking samples for reviewers, I have no idea. All
    I know is memtest for the first stick of pc2700 I
    got showed more errors than the early 90's era
    dumpster printer ram that the assholes at computer
    shows sold. And that was at pc2100 speed because
    the ram refused to run at pc2700. I figured it
    might be a fluke and tried a second stick and
    it actually tested WORSE than the first stick.
    It was more than a little interesting that the
    ram comes with copper heat spreaders installed
    with stickers over the links that say your
    warantee will be voided if you remove those
    stickers. It's obviously so you won't remove
    the heat spreaders so you can see what kind of
    ram it actually is. After a ton of phonecalls that
    were never answered, and emails that were never
    replied too, I ended up sending them a bunch of
    faxes. I got my RMA numbers, but was still charged
    a restocking fee. So in the end, I was out 20
    bucks and had absolutely nothing to show for it.
    If you don't believe me, try reading the reviews
    for this "company" here:

    OCSystem's 3.77 rating out of 10

    These guys are consumate rip-off artists. Do not
    trust them. Also, seriously doubt the quality and
    ethics of ANY company that gives ANY product of
    theirs a positive review. There is a lot of
    money changing hands for positive reviews.
    I hope this helps someone. Read some of those
    reviews. Read how they have seriously fucked a
    lot of people out of a lot of money. After you
    get screwed, order from a REAL company like
    newegg.com or mwave.com that actually cares about
    their customers. In closing, let me state
    emphatically that you are OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND
    if you order anything from these bastards.
    Thank you.
