Is it though? Do they actually verify that you're the one who bought it, or is it a matter of who signs up for the warranty first, or just showing "here's my receipt". I've always saw what was said as some sort of "no transferring of warranty" speak. While I have by in far not bought that many video cards in my life, when I have registering the product via a serial number and typing in my information has been the extent of verification.Isn't it already the case ?:
NVidia shield for example
