I noticed that XFX advertises a lifetime warranty on their GPUs, but how exactly does that work? if i buy a 5770 and it dies say 3 years from now, the 5770s would be out of productions; so what good would the warranty be? I mean if its out of production, I cant get the card/parts replaced.
 
Most companies will upgrade you to the next closest performance card. XFX's lifetime also includes transferrable warranty if you decide to sell the card later on.
 
holy hell, no kidding?

so if i get a a 700 dollar card like the 6990, and it dies like 10 years from now. I can get the more modern equivalent of the same value???? or do you mean, upgrade me to a modern card with similar specs? IE my 2gb card dies 10 years from now, so I would get another card with similar specs.
 
They will typically send you a card with similar performance to the one that you send in, not cost.
 
For what its worth, I bought a 4890 a couple years back. The fan was making noise, so I sent it in a few weeks ago, and I now have a 6850. Not a bad deal. Well, my friend has a 6850, as I was going to just give him my 4890. :)

Oh, and I didn't even have a receipt, and it was never registered. Will buy XFX in the future.
 
thats pretty fantastic, does any other manufacturer have anything comparable?
 
The only other manufacturer with similar service is EVGA (lifetime warranty and will replace with equal or better product).
 
is xfx warranty mod friendly? IE Sometime down the road i decide to water cool my system; does that void the warranty?

Zotac has a lifetime warranty as well.

XFXs is slightly different from the previous two because it is transferable once. Make sure to register within 30 days for all 3 though.
