Nice one mate, same for me, I have only picked HIS because OCUK is handling the warranty process.

I'll have a dig around and add them to the list, thanks.
Is that for the full 2 year duration of the warranty? how did you find that out?

Nice one Nelly, Gigabyte are currently my number one consideration anyway but I didn't realise MSI are UK RMA base so that's a bonus.

Yeah the problem there is - the retailer is the point of contact for the duration of the warranty but if it goes wrong after 28 days of purchase - will the cards be sent to HIS / XFX / Sapphire for RMA / Replacement - that's the question.
no the full 2 years is dealt with by ocuk, did you read gibbos post ?
that is why i think most people have gone for HIS Sapphire and XFX cards ( safest bet for easy RMA )
so to me and everyone else i think that reads, if you have a HIS SAPPHIRE or XFX card, and it needs RMAing within the 2 year warranty period OcUK will deal with it, and if they find it faulty, will replace

Just looked further on within the actual thread it, so all is good.
OcUK should put that on the cards description page where you click to buy, might entice more people to buy them than their already is.£30

Bought an Asus card from a competitor before Xmas. Clarified before buying that the 3 year warranty was with the UK based retailer. Had read that some retailers selling the card would only deal with RMA for the first 12 months. Also price was too good to turn away.
Great list and thanks for the hard work. I'm sure many will appreciate it.

whats powercolors rma like ? , i know they reply to contact us within 2 days but where is the rma based ?

PowerColor - Taiwan ? ? ? - 1 Year Warranty (Avoid like the plague, RMA seems to be non-existant for european customers!)

I had a powercolour gpu and RMA'd at the local computer store, took nearly 3 months to recieve a replacement which was then a HIS gpu.
My 1950pro died on me which was HIS, took a month to be replaced.
Current 4870 is doing great touch wood ha.

i thought the 5*** and 6*** had a 2 year warranty ? , that was stated on the product page on the powercolor 5830 i got from ocuk early last year .
so it was incorrect ?
