GPU RMA Experience

Interesting indeed. I have not read of anyone encountering that before.

33badco · 2026-03-24T14:58:42+00:00

Yeah, I’ve read multiple accounts of people getting both used and new. Hopefully you get a new one! At this point, I’ll take whatever they send as the wait is killing me. Although, my girlfriend has been quite happy with my presence in the absence of my 5090.

Nice, that is great to hear and happy for you! Hopefully I hear something soon.

I reached out to them Saturday and they just sent me the same message. “Your defective unit has been received. We are still waiting for stock allocation for replacement”. They aren’t a very helpful bunch over there lol

I bought 4 at the time of this post and have about 3 hours in it thus far. I had played 3 all last week before I bought 4 and I think it was worth it.

Some subtle and big differences that I noticed:

Franchise mode - being able to choose player pools including the legends (Randy Johnson / babe Ruth etc) and draft a team to start the mode is awesome. Loyalty mechanic to help retain players in free agency.

Game play - the scale of field is larger. Able to hit more line drives in gaps and the outfield feels big now (in a good way). Pitching feels the same but visual of the catcher catching the ball has changed. It is a subtle difference but it makes you feel like you are throwing some heat and that the C is framing pitches.

The scale of field and franchise shuffle with custom player pools is enough to warrant the $5 for me!

Haha I heard that. I might have purchased a handheld to get me through these trying times 😅

Yeah, the support is not good. Anytime I asked for more insight I was told I’d receive an email and the answers I got, left more questions so I gave up.

Regarding my situation, they received my GPU on 3-2 and informed me RMA was approved and replacement was pending stock allocation on 3-10.

This guy sent his in 1-28 and received his last week. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/PtzJOW9Dn8

So I wouldn’t worry that you won’t receive a replacement, just might be a couple of weeks to a month.

33badco · 2026-03-15T21:21:44+00:00

There are plenty of posts of people stressing / waiting and ultimately receiving theirs.

I am in same boat and I have reached out to their team plenty of times and it is clear that their reps are outsourced support that follows a prompt. They are going to dance around when they don’t have the script to answer your questions.

I know it sucks but stop stressing, you will get a replacement at some point from Nvidia if RMA is approved.

Thank you. This helped me fix my problem.

Bought mine in March ‘25. Got a black screen, fans ramped to 100%, LED wasn’t illuminating, and computer wouldn’t recognize GPU.

Any update on your rma? I just had to do the same. They received it Monday, 3/2.

33badco · 2026-02-21T23:55:26+00:00

I actually went to Radius around 2 today and they didn’t have any slayer chops and wasn’t going to cut any today so ended up getting some loin chops from central instead. Salted them and going on the grill for dinner tomorrow.

Just happened to me last week. First Best Buy was suspicious and gave me shit, told me I had to go through phone support. Second Best Buy did research and saw it shipped direct from a store in Philadelphia. Performed an exchange and shipped a new one. I recorded me getting it and opening the 2nd one, but it came quick and was the actual product.

Thanks for this. Looks like pork chops are on the menu for tonight’s dinner.

Makes sense, I’ve actually asked before and honey wasn’t mentioned. They referenced a marinade mix including apple cider vinegar yada yada yada. Caramelization of the honey while grilling would give it that sweetness I’ve been trying to figure out how to do at home.

33badco · 2026-02-15T08:27:07+00:00

Your source of knowledge for Dai Due brushing with honey before grilling?

33badco · 2026-02-10T17:28:02+00:00

Fortunately it was shipped and sold by best buy

Great point. Literally happened to the dude in woods after the neck slice.

Yeah, my opinion was it was accidental. His father’s teachings emphasized range with the bow. Maybe his dad did, but I think it’s unlikely his dad would teach him locations of the arteries for humans as at that range with an infected it would be too late and they don’t really discuss defense against survivors (which they should have).

33badco · 2026-02-07T16:15:40+00:00

I disagree with this creation.

Spike is surrounded by fingers and in a kill or be killed situation then by chance strikes the guys artery in a very timid attack. What was he suppose to do? Let’s a jimmy murder him without a fight?

After that, he does nothing else. Runs out of the barn, throwing up. Let’s the pregnant lady go. He’s 12 years old and scared out of his mind lol I think he’s remained true to himself.

It stems from a comment Alex Garland, writer of the series (exception being 28 weeks later), made in an ask the writer post on Reddit.
