hi all just posting this to let everyone know it is with great sadness that i am saying good-bye to old friends.  it with a heavy heart that i must part with EVGA.  i have been let down by EVGA however i should have seen it coming having received new retail box cards from rma and recently 2 of them in my tri-sli rig died which i then noticed that the 3 cards were showing as having been purchased from stores ( 2 from frys electronics and one from microcenter which is impossible knowing that i have only ever bought 1 item ever in my life from microcenter and it was a Q6600 cpu).
 
anyway i digress, with the cost of cards today and all having the same waranty of 3 years it just isnt feasible to stay with evga especially when evga cards will fail after your warranty has expired making warranty useless anyway. 
 
so if i factor in all the variables:
 
evga let down on warranty ( whould have been the lifetime on original cards)
incorrect info on product page ( from rma not from store purchase
customer service ( in theis case it was Blah)
price of cards
tri-sli compatible ( see more below)
gpu pricing ( see more below)
 
( more below):  the pricing on Gpu's is outright gouging at this point mainly because of crypto miners so that shoots down me preplacing my Tri-sli set up especially when you factor in that all teh tri-sli compatible cards are 250 and up per GPU and the EVGA tri-sli cards are the most expensive ones listed where i have looked.  so this forces me into a single card setup which even then to get something close to what i had with my tri-sli setup im looking at 300 to 350 for a single card.
 
so let me just say that my pc may go down before i could ever even afford a single card with current prices which definatley rules out tri-sli with the need for 3 cards and cost of those cards per is outrageous.
 
so good-bye friends i have to look for the most affordable card i can get that will at least be comparable to running a single GTX560Ti 448 core FTW which is what i am currently reduced to and that with every manufacture having a 3 year warranty there is really no benefit to sticking with EVGA.
 
not only do i have to consider the above but i also have to consider that most of my old friends are already long gone. 
 
so
 
GOOD-BYE!
 

Sad to hear your GPUs are dying (I've had a few dead video cards myself), however I think people need to recognize there is a silver lining in crypto mining. Namely amount of funding that is being poured into development of faster GPU's and second hand market in a few years. Yes availability sucks right now, however in a few years new monstrous GPU's will be coming online funded in part by the crypto money. Additionally given how much efficiency matters to mining we should have a nice steady market for cheap GPU's that are a generation or two old.

You will not find any company that offers what you are asking.
10 or 20 Years ago Yes, why because in this era no company Lives Forever.


Very true mate I had a lifetime warranty with my BFG 280 OCX's but buy the time that I needed to use them BFG had folded

Did you overclocked your card. If you do, they might not RMA the card or let it be return. Also, mining made it hard to get just one card exchange.

Since you are trying to get elite status, I understand that you just want a gpu and will post anything. Before making completely blind claims, research the company you are trying to buy from. You would know your post is completely wrong had you known anything about evga.
