How to kill 8800gts G92 ???

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question if I may ........

How do I kill my 8800gts 512 without it looking like I have killed it ??

I ask as I can get a 9800gtx for an extra 8 quid if this card is returned as faulty.

I was thinking of putting 240v through the earths or something but a paritally knackered card would be best as the shop could power ir up and test it then.

Please no silly suggestions, I know I could throw it out of a window or stamp on it :P

These kinda questions are not accepted here.
What you are trying to do is rip of the company you buy from.

Please do not ask how to destroy hardware on tpu. We always end up in a crazy ethical conversation. Furthermore, this basically equates to stealing.

Please don't ask these types of fraudulent questions again. I also wouldn't recommend doing it either. Sell your card and do the responsible thing. Thread closed.
