This is a sad comment on the state of consumer hardware. Speaking from my viewpoint as a computational chemist, a video card that fails memtestG80 is not merchantable and gets slung back at the manufacturer. After a while you have learned how fast companies deal with RMAs and you know that factory-overcooked hardware is next-to-useless. |
