Life time warranty is based on the economical lifetime (2 years by European law) expected time of failure or ceased functionality (5-10 years). 10 Years for a graphic card is pushing it beyond it's expected lifespan. I believe 5 should be max considering caps and fans.
Also warranty only applies when the object has been properly maintained, can you prove this?
Are you the second owner? Prove it. Do you have original receipt, doubt it (unless printed with good ink and high quality paper the original receipt is untrustworthy) Those are the first 2 things they will request off they respond at all, they are laughing at you for trying.They've already helped me get the serial number in the systems and the card is now registered. I've got a support ticket under way and am in communication with a rep. It has also been confirmed that in N. America the warranty is the lifetime of the two owners.
Check first post for more details.
Yeah, Lifetime warranty in the USA is for as long as you own it. No limitations whatsoever past that except for physical damage caused by the customer.
It is always a crapshoot on whether or not computer parts mfgs will honor that though.
I buy lifetime warranty auto parts when available. You have the same vehicle 50 years later, you can get a free replacement if it breaks provided the company that sold it to you is still in business.
And to top it off, a receipt is not required. Stupid thermal receipts don't last more than a couple years even if kept in a storage bin and out of the light. I just go in, they look up my name and vehicle, check to see if I actually bought that part and the screen also shows them the warranty for the part. Then they just swap it out.
