Inspector, Inspector Clouseau, is that you?
Why would I take £650 when I could get a brand new 1080ti AMP! that's worth £1000+?
I could sell the replacement and get a 2080ti.
Also if the replacement is new why couldn't I just register that with Zotac and get a new warranty?
If I've misunderstood, please do correct me cause these are genuine questions...
/edit I completely agree that being fully refunded for a card I bought 2 years ago is excellent, but not when the price of that card has gone up 50% since I spent that money. IF I hadn't got such an amazing deal on the 1080ti in the first instance I'd have a lot more to play with.
/edit also it doesn't sound like they want the old one back if I go for a replacement.
Cheers,
G

Im not sure if your serious???
Even if it was new you wouldn't get near £650 for it anyone who was looking at that card should know enough that they would buy a 2080 at £600 + as its newer and faster than that 1080ti.
I would be suprised if they give you another 5 year warrenty as it won't be a retail unit like your old one.

Can you back that up with actual evidence?
From what I gather, he expects to flog the replacement 1080ti for a grand in order to get a 2080ti. Maybe I’m reading it wrong.

Tbh I love my 1080ti, I'd happily keep it.
I don't expect to sell it for £1000 if that was the plan, I just don't think it's wise to accept £650 when I can't re-buy one for that.
2080ti seems like an upgrade so that would be my natural choice even if I had to put a fair bit towards it, but the 2080 seems more like a side grade for me at the moment.
If I can get a brand new 1080ti as a replacement (the replacement wouldn't be second hand because it's the retailer sorting it not the manufacturer) and have new Warranty I'll be really happy.

You can only have the balance of your original warranty, not another 3 years. That's why it'll be second hand.

lmao but whoever is willing to spend 1k on a gpu won't touch a 1080ti and will instead get a 2080ti which makes "selling it" pointless

This, if you do plan on selling, you'll get 2080 money at best and the way things are now this far on potentially less. Take the money.

Nope
Doesn't work like that. Your warranty is linked to your payment for the original product, not a replacement under that same warranty.
This is why a refund is actually the best thing not a bad thing. Get new card = new warranty.
