EVGA Geforce 1080ti FTW3 - Extend warranty to 5 - 10 years or waste of money?

[Butters]

What do you think ?

I am guessing it is a waste of money because by the time 5 or 10 years comes I will be using a different graphics card.

Yeah, it's a waste, in my opinion. Who knows when the 1080Ti will be obsolete...

hmm depends. there ppls buying the GTX 1080 Ti because they want to sue the GPu for mroe then 5-6 years until the buy an entire new PC.

But for normal suers that upgrade their GPU anyways within 2-3 years it makes no sense.

[Butters]

This is true!

Thanks!

personally, i paid 30 for my extended and im happy i did because, ya just never know sometimes.

Think about it
By the time you use the warranty your replacement will be a few generations ahead.

I never bother with such warranties. But It might be a good idea for miners, since mining can burn out a gpu quickly... But even then, mining would ruin a gpu so fast that even the standard 3yr (?) warranty should cover it. Most other ppl should not need it.

Don't know what you're talking about I have 5 290/x still 24/7 mining from 4years ago.

All my 1080/ti's run at 65% power at around 50°C and will do this for there whole life and game for another life after if they were still relevant gpu's X years later.

I don't get why people think using your components well within limits will kill them.
