    Warranty on EVGA 460

    In ref to: Prophecy.co.za - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 768MB GDDR5 192-bit PCI-E 2.0

    In the short description it says 10 year warranty, the long says 2 year warranty.
    And later on it says limited lifetime warranty.
    Which one is it?

    I want a 10 year warranty or lifetime is great too.
    Lost waaaay to many out of warranty graphic cards.
    And mine is now out of warranty so want new one.

    Thanks guys.

    I'll ask Jude to answer. I really don't know any more. They make it very difficult.

    That is in the US, i doesn't help to have a lifetime warranty in the US but the local importers and suppliers doesn't honour the warranty.
    Limited lifetime means that as soon as the product goes End of life or discontinued your card is not under Warrenty any more.

    Cool. So limited lifetime is out then.
    Only 10 years/2 years remaining.... which one?

    Also, any other brands with loooong warranty periods on them?
    (Lost 8800gt, 8800gts, 6600gt all out of warranty. Maybe i should just continue buying ATi. Have yet to lose a card with them )

    All eVGA Cards have a 2 year warranty, some of the cards do qualify for a 10 year warranty (the superclocked versions of the 460s do) you have to register the card wihtin 30 days of purchasing it to activate the 10 years of the warranty.

    Anything else I can help with just shout.

    Or sold to a new owner... Don't forget that part.
