doh if only id have gone to the page that the sticker mentions then i would already know the answer to my question.
support tab of previous link...
it clearly states that damages caused by using the card outside of the factory shipping setting is not covered by your warranty. so if you flip that switch and you then have problems with card you're stuffed.
No you're not. It doesn't work like that. It's like saying "We don't do refunds for anything, it's store policy *points to store policy on large wall banner*, it's there for everyone to see before they buy". That doesn't mean they don't do refunds, the law says they do, so they do refunds, they may not want to, but it doesn't matter.
The same way AMD can't claim your warranty is voided by using a feature they've included with the card, and advertised it. Why discriminate against the specifics of the features? It's no different to saying "AMD Eyefinity! Enjoy your games across multiple monitors! *Plug more than one monitor in to your graphics card, and you're not covered by warranty."
It doesn't matter what they say, if it breaks using a feature they included and that's all over the box, then it wasn't fit for purpose, end of.
A contract isn't legally binding just because it's a contract, they can have things in them that are illegal and would void the contract as unfair, it doesn't matter if you sign it if it's illegal and an unfair contract. This is essentially the same principles.
