on monday 8/9, i order this graphics card from buy.com (more info on card here)
by 8/12 they still hadnt shipped it and after checking resellerratings.com on buy.com, i called them up. the CSR had no clue when my card will be shipped and told me it was on backorder (funny cuz they still had it listed as in stock on 8/12). she said could be anywhere to from 1 day to 1 week.
so instead of waiting with uncertainty, i cancelled the order on their website and ordered this card from outpost.com. outpost shipped it and now its waiting at the local DHL facility for me to go pick it up (had them hold it since i wont be home).
now here's the problem. i just checked buy.com acct and my xfx card was shipped after i cancelled it (what morons) and will arrive on 8/16. now my problem lies in which card to send back (refuse shipment)
XFX card (buy.com) was $275 shipped
Leadtek card (outpost.com) was $302 shipped
Leadtek i will have today
XFX i will have monday
XFX claims their core is 400 MHz
Leadtek's somewhere between 325-350 MHz
i have half a mind to send back buy.com's card because of their shady business practices...but I have no clue which card is a better performer. thats why im asking you guys...which do you think i should keep?
lets say, either way, i lose the cost of shipping (~$12)
