PowerColor går ut mot falske kort

[Gjest Slettet+9018234]

Det har tydeligvis dukket opp såkalte "forged" eller falske PowerColor kort på markedet. Disse bærer ikke tydelige spor av PowerColor merket, men skal etter alt å dømme være produsert av P.C. Serien det gjelder er Radeon 9600PRO. I en pressemelding heter det:

 

"TAIPEI, TAIWAN (19 October, 2004) Tul Corporation is hereby declaring that it holds no responsibilities of manufacturing and supplying the forged PowerColor RADEON 9600 PRO graphics cards, found in market earlier this month. Furthermore, Tul has already announced the discontinuation of the product ¡V PowerColor RADEON 9600 PRO 128MB available in 400/600MHz ¡V around Computex Taipei back in June this year.

 

A few graphics cards, under the PowerColor brand name that contained conflicting ATI processors, were surprisingly found available in a retail store. With the fact that Tul has discontinued the PowerColor RADEON 9600 PRO 128MB in 400/600MHz, which announcement also being posted on Tul¡¦s official website for four months by now, Tul suspects the occurrences of false usages and sales of PowerColor products by unknown parties. Ted Chen, C.E.O. of Tul Corporation, stated, ¡§The forgery act not only jeopardizes Tul¡¦s credibility to its customers and Tul¡¦s relationship to the channels, it also drives the VGA industry to an unhealthy condition.¡¨

 

To prevent possible forgery in the future, Tul immediately initiated actions that include sending out warnings to its closed partners, posting an important announcement on the website to its end customers, as well as distributing an official statement to the press worldwide. Moreover, Tul is in the process of originating a laser sticker on its upcoming packages so that customers can recognize the genuine PowerColor products upon purchase.

 

As unpleasant as the matter is, our precautions are very essential, because we do not allow this kind of concerns happen again, said Chen. We strongly suggest customers to purchase the PowerColor products through our certified distributors and channel partners for a maximum protection of their rights and benefits, concluded Chen.
