Graphics Card Warranties (UK Only) - Let's see how good they really are!

My MSI 5090 went faulty after 3 weeks and i put a RMA in that took around a week to get a response, but once the ball was rolling, it's didn't take long at all to arrange the collection and to also process the refund. Adam W was very responsive and helpful once he picked up the ticket.
Oh Im hoping thats a good sign then. Not sure what theyre gonna offer if its a more serious unrepairable issue though. Not gonna give me a like for like performance are they, that would require them supplying me a 5090 at the current ridiculous prices. Im hoping for a repair as I want to keep my white aethetics intact for my build!
 
QUICK UPDATE. I returned the card in person to OCUK yesterday and theyve contacted me stating the card is unrepairable and have no stock or B grade replacements, so offered a full refund within 24hrs of £2189.99, so im more than happy with that result! Ill now go replace it with a 5080 and save some money!
 
Im hoping the chart on page 1 is still pretty accurate. I have a ASUS STRIX 4090 OC White thats just started to overheat to ridiculous temps. Card is 8 months old! Soon as I lanch ANY game it immediately ramps to 100% fan speed and hits 90C within a few seconds and Hotspot hits 110C. Had to back out. Emailed OCUK on tuesday and havent even had a reponse yet. Kinda hoping its a thermal paste issue but Ill let the warranty and RMA cover that, this was NOT a cheap card as everyone knows.

It's not like they had much of a choice if it failed within 30 days and they had no stock.

Old post, but the card was 8 months old so getting a refund was a good result.

I know technically within 12 months you should get one anyway, but some retailers would make you jump through a large amount of hoops.
