Hi,

I know Evga warranty can't be transfered so if I buy a used Evga card, its lifetime warranty will not come with it. However if I ask the seller for the acct. that was used to registered the card and modify the profile(change address, country, etc.), will that do the trick? Of course I will ask the seller for the original receipt as well(I believe Evga requires that too).


Thanks! :D
 
here are the replies from evga's message board regarding the lifetime warranty for used.

My questions:

"What if the seller gave me the original receipt + the acct. that was used to registered the card?"


Answer:
I don't think so, only the original purchaser can do the RMA/Return process per say.

Good Price BTW!!

Yes you still would not be able to obtain any warranty or service for that matter because the cards are already registered on another persons name. Furthermore this is not like Evga is offering a lifetime warranty times 2, sortof like XFX does where they will honor warranty service for both the original purchaser even after registering the card AND honor the new owner of the card with his/her own registration under the card for warrnaty, rma etc.

The only real way you can get warranty now, is if you sent the card to the person you bought it from and he/she handles the RMA back to evga and then he/she will have to pay for postage to send the repaired cards back to you. But I dont beleive evga will allow this work around to their policy.... especially since its been posted here that you might be doing that...

All I can say is try and find someone who hasn't registered the card yet. LOL.
 
BFG ftw!
if your looking for a used card try and get BFG
i have asked them and was told the card could change hands 100 times if you physically have the card they will RMA no questions asked

Exactly.

From my experience, RMA with eVGA is a million times easier than BFG and XFX (XFX was a ENORMOUS pain-in-the-ass, and BFG sent me the wrong card twice when I had to RMA one of their cards). Granted, I've been buying cards (dozens of them) for many, many years, and things do change over time, but...

...my recent experiences really weren't that far back, and the 'new' eVGA simply has the best customer service and support experience, bar none. By a MILE.

The only downside is, as discussed in this thread, that's really only available to the original owner. So, if you are buying your card to keep it 'forever' (or until obsolete, when you give it away to one of your kids or a coworker or something), there is simply no better choice than eVGA.

However, if you plan on selling the card in short order (presumably, before their impressive RMA service would ever need to enter the picture), you are probably better off going with another brand - XFX is a decent choice, here.
