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.

I agree.

It will be up to the retailer to accept or decline the warranty claim. If you are lucky and the scalper is willing to help then that makes it easier to sort out the warranty claim, as the original purchaser is the scalper. Best to buy an out of warranty older card or get lucky with a drop with a retailer for piece of mind.

My resting the warranty was in reference to the Nintendo service not a GPU I should have made it clearer

Which they did for me and extended it by 16 months
