lifetime warranty

[unfalliblekrutch]

My friend is looking into getting a new video card since his last one died on him, so this time he wants one with a life time warranty.
I know eVGA, XFX, and BFG have them.
Is there an ATI vendor with lifetime?
other nVidia vendors i missed?

 

[akshayt]

[unfalliblekrutch]

The Powercolor x19xx series has lifetime warranty in USA (not outside).

 

[akshayt]

aren't you buying from US

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

Yes, I'm in the US

Think Built by ATI is only a year now. Thats why my next purchase wont be an ATI card. Powercolor has lifetime on the x1900 series.

Also, read the fine print on the "lifetime" warranties, as many manufacturers like to play word games with what "lifetime" actually means.

pny lies about 'lifetime' warranty, they mean lifetime of the product on the market, if it isn't being sold anymore they wont provide warranty

PNY changed it to 3 Years about 2 years ago when the 6800 series came out.

On a side note.
PowerColor Warrenty info

BFG lifetime warranty is the best.

Yes those 3 you listed are the only ones I know of the Nvidia side with a lifeitme warranty, on the ATI side PowerColor is the only AIB with a Lifetime Warranty

Overclocking/underclocking, changing of heatsinks all void BFG's warranty.
eVGA's lifetime doesn't have any flaws to my knowledge and xfx's, i just don't know much about

Wow...I'm the OP, and just to let you know...this is a VERY old thread.
