What will be the replacement?

It is a Geforce 1080ti.

Is there enough Geforce 1080ti stock or will there be any in 4 years do you all think?

Just wondering.
 
Either a 1080TI or something with similar performance that's available at the time.
 
You might get a free upgrade if there are no 1080 Tis left (a likely situation given that Nvidia stopped making them already).
 
In my country, the RMA looks at the current depreciated value, not the original value. That means if a GTX 980 bought in year 2014 is now dead, I'll probably get a 1060 at best.
 
I had a 780ti that died two weeks before the end of warranty. Gigabyte replaced it with a 970.
 
Yup if there are no 1080Ti in stock you'll probably get a 2070 or maybe a 3060 by that time.
 
In my experience, most video card RMA's result in you getting the same or comparable card back depending on stock. MSI has been known to cut you a pro-rated check if they don't have anything close to your card in stock. Evga use to have a lifetime warranty on their cards, I still have a few that qualify ( 7950GT- 2x 9800GTX). The 7950GT was purchased in 2006 and needs to be RMA'ed as of yesterday.

Had to RMA my son's GTX 570 with Evga 4 times in a span of 5 years (lifetime warranty). The first 3 RMA's, I got back another GTX 570, the 4th time they must of ran out of stock and they sent me a GTX 960 SC 4GB. That's one hell of an upgrade. I'm really curious what they will replace that 7950GT with.
