Hey guys,

got a half decent deal On a new, sealed 3080 fe edition GPU.

they are supplying invoice for it, but can I still register the warranty once collected?

please reply ASAP as I’m supposed to collect the card tomorrow.


Thanks.
 
There is no warranty registration. I am guessing they would want to see proof of purchase should you need to make a claim in the future.
This warranty applies only to the original purchasers of the Warranted Products from an NVIDIA-authorized third party or www.nvidia.com ; this warranty will not extend to any person that acquires a Warranted Product on a used basis.

If the card is new rather then used then perhaps you could argue the case.

it will be the same as the nintendo switch that my mum bought for the children

I just needed to send a copy of the invoice when I returned under RMA

all of this was in here name not mine they do have leeway for gifts ect
 
Good find though. I'll have to keep a look out.
I think warranty registrations ask for the receipt so may only put it in the purchaser's name

According to nVidia's warranty terms, if you have proof of purchase from an authorised vendor AND did not buy the product on a used basis, they will honour the warranty for 2 years from the date listed on said proof of purchase.

From their website -

"LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTY
This warranty applies only to the original purchasers of the Warranted Products from an NVIDIA-authorized third party or www.nvidia.com ; this warranty will not extend to any person that acquires a Warranted Product on a used basis. "

You have acquired a Warranted Product on an unused basis and have proof of the purchase from an, presumably, authorized third party seller. There are no grounds for them to dishonour this warranty in your case.

Also, they aren't exactly in the business of sending private investigators out to figure out if they can avoid sorting warranty claims and realistically whoever the person is at the desk that scopes out the RMA claims will just be like "yeah whatever" and click it through anyway.

My cousin's 3070 FE blew and a mates 3080 FE blew.

The retailer selling them on Nvidia's behalf are currently handling the warranty claims. It's very likely they won't honour it because you didn't buy it from them.
 
Interestingly, do you have to register the FE cards anywhere to activate the warranty or is this not needed for Founders Editions ?

That's not correct. Even on a brand new replacement the warranty is still from the original cards purchase date otherwise you could keep climing under the warranty just before it ran out and never need buy a new card again. That's the way it has always been for any component.

How on earth do you reckon that? Different name, different address regardless if you have the invoice or not. The person who originally purchased it is the original buyer and whether the card is still sealed in it's box or not anybody else is buying a second hand item most likely with no warranty. That's a hell of a chance to take on a very expensive graphics card.

yeah, that’s my thoughts exactly. I have decided to hold, and wait for sane prices and stock to come around. Hopefully sooner rather than later. :(

It's actually 3 years for GPUs, you were probably looking at their Shield warranty.

Three (3) years from the date of purchase of your new Warranted Product (the "Warranty Period").

If you have the original invoice then it's usually fine - it covers gifting i.e. I buy my nephew a graphics card for his birthday.
