Warranty looks like 4x the cost and 3 years less

No more 10 year warranties, eh?

EVGA's great services are slowly getting chipped away, one by one.

Soon enough they'll be like every other company, with nothing that sets them far apart. Such a shame.

i've made a few warranty claims when an evga card burns out. Having a 10 year warranty allowed me to keep systems running without having to shell out unreasonable prices for a new card, I've even recommended evga to clients so they can have a guarantee they'll have a functioning card for years to come. It helps keep the cards going and not turn into e-waste when defects pop up costing the buyer even more money. The evga support and warranty was the thing that kept me coming back to evga instead of going to other manufacturers, I never overclock the cards. I can't tell you the amount of trash I got told by board partners to avoid fixing their own cards or admitting they screwed up on manufacturing. I find this news disappointing, I value longevity in hardware having 10 year warranty was a life saver I just hope 7 years would be enough but I've claimed warranty on the 9 year mark a couple times for clients to keep systems running.
 
This is horrible news, i'll have to think twice on getting a card in the future

Extended warranties are useless if the company goes bankrupt.  It's still good value.

Evga is pretty much the same Warranty as Asus....3 yrs.....a number of years ago Evga was outstanding with there "Lifetime Warranty"...."AR" ....I have a couple of 560Ti SC's that are still covered under lifetime warranty !!

In my experience, EVGA honors their warranty far more... well... *honorably* than Asus, though.  I don't generally buy Asus products anymore after they refused to honor a couple of very clear-cut, open-and-shut warranty issues.  I've seen many, many people complaining about Asus trying to weasel their way out of honoring warranties, and when they do honor them, the often make you jump through as many hoops as humanly possible first.  EVGA on the other hand has built a reputation around their customer service, and EVGA GPU's are one of the few cases where I feel like buying an extended warranty is actually worthwhile.  It admittedly has been sad to see their warranties getting chipped away at over the years, though (shorter manufacturer warranties, extended warranties now becoming more expensive, etc).

I've never had an issue with a warranty claim with Asus.  They replaced my parts every single time, no questions asked.  They were just a lot slower than EVGA to do the actual replacement.
 
Gigabyte on the other hand is completely useless as far as their Warranty/RMA service goes in the U.S.  They were awful pre pandemic and got even worse after they got hit with ransomware.

Glad I got my 3090 10 year at $60.

Who holds a card for ten years?

Its true, Gigabyte really is the worst.

I always bought the extended warranty for all of gpu's but never even used it as none of my cards even failed on me period. The oldest card I still have is the 780Ti Classified and still works.

My 780Ti died summer 2020.  Wish I'd warrantied it.

Wow,  I have bad timing.  I have 9 days left to buy an extended warranty on my 3080Ti FTW3 and I was actually seriously considering buying the 5 year one because it cost only $30 as of yesterday.  Now it is $120.  Quite a huge jump.  I will most likely sell the card before 3 years anyway but was willing to pay for the extended warranty just in case.  Not so much anymore.  

Believe it or not I was just viewing my equipment list this morning because I was going to buy the extended warranty.  When I saw the price I couldn't believe it, I thought I must be going crazy because I knew it wasn't that much when I bought the card a week or so ago.  So I come over to the forums and find out I'm not crazy.  Oh well, I was only going to purchase it because it was cheap, years of electronics experience has taught me that if it will run for 90 days, it'll probably run for 3 - 5 years with no trouble.  Of course if you over-clock, that equation goes out the window...  :)

I went to register my 3080 Ti FTW3 HC today and add a 10 year extended warranty (I was waiting for my new years bonus). It's now gone from $60 for a 10 year warranty to $240 for a 7 year warranty...... I don't recall seeing this price hike being announced anywhere in advance. I wanted to warranty this card to pass on to my kids when I upgrade. It's very hard to get good value out of used waterblocked cards on the used market.

It wasn’t announced anywhere in advance. EVGA has always listed that the extended warranty terms and conditions can change without notice, and after so many years without any changes, EVGA made a change to the extended warranty terms.

glad I got 10 year warranties on my 30 series cards. I guess I should start saving up now for the 4090 +7 year warranty 

CraptacularOneAs someone who never buys extended warranties it doesn't really affect me. Most extended warranties are just a way for businesses to make extra money for nothing knowing full well the vast majority of people who buy these things will never actually need them.

I typically don't buy extended warranties on things either. I do buy them on these GPUs. I just had a warranty replacement fulfilled on a 1080ti FE that I purchased in 2017 based on a 5-year extended warranty. That extended warranty more than paid for itself. I bought a 10-year warranty on my 3080ti FTW3, and I have zero regrets. If there really is an issue long-term with the power delivery on this whole generation of cards, I have no doubt that EVGA will stand by the card, and for ten years.
Speaking of never needing to use it, I've been paying for car insurance for over 30 years and haven't had to file a claim against it yet. No regrets. The potentially ruinous personal liability that could have accrued to me if the feces had ever impacted the impeller was too great a risk not to be hedged against. I look at these warranties as a form of insurance policy. I paid $60 for a 10-year warranty on a GPU I paid ~$1400 for because in the event it goes south, I know I wouldn't be able to just easily fork out for a replacement, and it was worth $60 for me to know I wouldn't have to just go without it if it goes bad during it's conceivable lifespan.
 
I'm glad I logged in and bought that 10 year warranty when I did. Little did I know I'd have paid a lot more just one week later for a much shorter coverage period.
