Don't xfx products also come at a slightly higher price then most?

SinfulPotato

either way this thread is pointless, he obviously brought a gpu from ebay, if evga did not acknowledge to warrenty because it was owned by the first party it's his fault no one elses evga is a great company i had my gtx 480 for a year now i watercooled it 3 months ago and have had no probs so there is no point in this thread hands down, to complain about a warrenty knowing that you have purchased it from a second party is just a no brainer.

Lifetime warranties that are valid only to the original purchaser is quite common among all types of products (not just electronics)

Just letting you guys know I purchased a EVGA card off eBay lasted me a good year. The card itself had a lifetime warranty. However there was a catch to it you had to be the original owner. Meaning they would not honor their warranty. However XFX on the other hand offers the same warranty no matter the owner, location purchased. Meaning you could have found their card on the ground or in the trash they WILL cover it unlike EVGA. Meaning if you're looking for a REAL life time warranty no matter where you found the card, its age or owner I wouldn't look at EVGA.

This alone is a good example of the quality of parts purchased from a manufacture. If they can't cover it no matter the owner or location found how confident could they be in their parts lasting as long as they should or honoring their warranty?

First of all here is the real question. Why would you buy an evga card off of ebay knowing it was used and expect the warrenty to still be valid when the card is being used by a second person, that is not evga's fault it is yours second don't buy gpu's off of ebay, plus for the record i already voided my warrenty on my gtx480 being that i wc and it still works fine i can careless about warrenty policies as is unless it breaks in a month thats a diff story.

Actually, as long as you haven't damaged the PCB and still have all the hardware (heatsink and screws) your warranty is still valid. EVGA's warranty covers the removal/replacement of the heatsink and TIM.

meh even so i'm going to be replacing a few things come jan when i get my income tax return might save up for sock 1155 or even go down the 2011 route.

Please tell me how old you are. Your level of immaturity and ignorance is mind blowing. Are you seriously telling us this is the first time you've experienced cases where manufacturer's didn't offer warranty claim for something bought off of ebay? Just so you know, the world doesn't revolve around your selfish greed. I'm usually pro consumer but this is just such a ridiculous of a thread

Love how I get "trolling" moderations random and trivial things, yet people like Baurus who are obvious trolls, get nothing.C_Rule

the sad part is there are to many trolls on this forum, imo either company has good cards no one see's nothing more than 60fps so this thread is pointless to me.

Another Fail Fanboy thread.:roll:
