My graphics card’s logo (Republic of Gamers) at the front of the card came upside down.
Should I RMA this or keep it? Some people believe it’ll be worth a little extra later because it’s a goof. Kind of like luster dragon 2 being printed with just “Luster Dragon” for the name.
This really is annoying me and I think it’ll look stupid in my super high end build.
Opinions please!
if I’m not mistaken thats how it comes by default
unless you are talking about the light up logo thing some have, in which case thats odd
Where did you order it from?
Make sure its actually the card you ordered, because it could be a lower model card.
Have you looked at pictures of the card online? Maybe it is supposed to be the way it is.
I’ve looked a ton. They all have the symbol right side up with the text going left to right, like we typically read english lol.
It’s really a manufacturing error.
Bought it at Microcenter. Im sure its the card i want because i pre-ordered it online and went in store to pick it up.I scanned the box meticulously
It’s the light up logo that shows right in front of the side window, next to the power cables
When you are not such a tinfoil hat guy like i am, you might have twitter. Maybe tag Asus in your post?
If you have a windowed case and you think that it will bother you, then return it. It will look silly. If you don’t care how it looks (I know I wouldn’t) then don’t bother, the logo orientation does not impact FPS as far as I know.
I’m not sure if I should laugh really hard or not.
There’s a chuckle factor no doubt, but it’s overtaken by the fear that such a big oversight (i mean come on this thing is where rgb light comes out of) could mean there may be future issues.
Lol thought this was about the splash screen, I was gonna laugh pretty hard if it was XD
Not if the windowed case is one with invertible mother board tray.
Even if it was i have my whole water cooling loop planned for general mobo setup. Cant change it now. FFs
The dude at micro center said i could just pop in and swap it out. Still a pain in the ass though.
I’ll definitely be opening the next one right there in the store just in case.
Sorry but I find the RGB thing about as effective as the american education system.
Not.
Its not about the RGB. Its about the logo being upside down. It looks stupid, especially with the card having the led on that part.
In fact its no different than other cards where there is an LED on the outer edge of the GPU, this one just happens to ave RGB because its the strix.
Either way the rgb isnt the problem. Its that a very conspicuous part of the gpu is flawed. I just wanted a few opinions on what to do.
And… RGB doesn’t?
If thats how they’re sold thats how they’re sold and asus isn’t going to linten to 5 people complaining about orientation. Get a 3D printer and make a better plate.
If the aesthetic issue bothers you that much then yeah, fight through the RMA process.
If it doesn’t affect performance in any way than it really shouldn’t matter.
