Warranty length for graphics cards by manufacurer

[piowoc]

Hi,

is there any site where warranty length for graphics cards of all manufacturers is compared?

If not, can we compile it at least for the following brands:
EVGA, MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, Zotac?

Your help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Video card companies are apt to change things at a moments notice. Just do your research and check out their official policy when you are ready to purchase. IMO

Hard to compare because some change their policy depending on the SKU. Evga for instance had 1 yr, 3yr, and lifetime warranty depending on which one you bought iirc.

I think xfx is the only one with lifetime warranty now. However, they only do amd cards now iirc.

Hopefully things have changed for Gigabyte... I've had their products in the past with no issues and just recently bought 2 motherboards. No problems yet, but hopefully I have none!

Also just bought a Zotac 970... 2yrs on that card.

Nope... they dropped lifetime warranty because of the miners.
Now, the only way you can get a lifetime warranty from XFX is to purchase the card at BestBuy.
All other cards have 3 years I think it is.

If my GPU dies 2-3 years after I bought it, that means it's telling me it's time to upgrade. I haven't had a GPU fail since my old 8800 gt which was artifacting like crazy, but it still worked well enough for me to upgrade it on my own time.

So any company that offers 2-3 years is good enough for me.

That should be telling you that the GPU in question had a defect, these things should last much longer than 2-3 years if cooled properly and paired with quality components (PSU/MOBO you know the drill).

To get back on topic, I personally find 3 years a great middle ground for GPU warranty, currently my EVGA 980 isn't breaking a sweat, but from experienced having owned quite a few GPUs over the last decade I only had one card die on me after about 2-3 years use, and that was an XFX 8600GTS.
