i just bought a brandnew PC 7870 over an PC r9270x because its quite cheaper.
i wonder how long it will last because the store where i buy it offers only 1 year warranty. considering 7000 series is launch 2012 i assume its an old stock + i dont research much about powercolor quality, i just came up buying it because of the price.

i dont overclock will a power color 7870 last for atleast 2 years?
 
It should by all means last far longer than that. I have cards from the early 2000s that still work and even one card from 2007 that gets used a lot every day still in a system.
 
If you give the fan a clean every spring and have reasonable case airflow it should last 5-10 years.
I've never had a card from either AMD or NVDA quit on me.They all were retired for a new model,given to friends or are in boxes at home.
I think they would all still work if plugged in and that's going back to 2001 or so.
Sooo...your new 7870 should be fine. 🙂
 
It'll last till it dies or no longer maintains acceptable frame rates to you 🙂

Probably the frame rates will kill it for you sometime in the future.
 
My Club3d 7870 dies for more VRAM. 2GB is quite low nowadays.
Other than that keeps on rollin OCed and volted.
