I purchased a ASUS AMD Radeon RX 5700 Overclocked 8G GDDR6 Dual Fan EVO Edition and returned it without opening the box it was shipped in. I requested a "In Store Credit" and will be getting the Powercolor Red Devil RX 5700 XT.
I am considering purchasing the "Protection Plan". Usually I do not purchase them as a general rule. Powercolor has a 2 year warranty. Does the protection plan circumvent the manufacturer warranty. There is a brick and mortar store here in Houston that replaces the item on the spot, be it a processor, motherboard, video card.
Does the online vendor's "protection plan" work the same way or do they make you go through the manufacturers warranty until the 2 years is up.
The particular vendor does not state anything about having to use the OEM warranty. Deal breaker for me to say the very least. Any experience using these protection plans would be greatly appreciated.
