Black screens like the card is resetting, occasional hangs. Fault follows card.
Seems a bad time to be replacing a graphics card, but there you go.
Thing is, the card is 23 months old but I can't find any reference to the original warranty terms. Going through the Ebuyer web pages they won't accept it back, so I presume they only do 1 year. I just have this feeling it had a 2 or 3 year warranty, but the MSI site is useless.
Card is an MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OC
My thinking is within one year Ebuyer but if you wanted a two or three year then you register with the card manufacturer !
That is what i did with a Sapphire 270X which they did honor a couple of years back :)
I do that with all my cards i get :)
Hmm, don't remember registering it. That might suck if it is a condition of the warranty.
I had the MSI GTX 570 and the warranty was 3 years, it is not however 3yrs from the date you purchase it, it is 3 yrs from the date of manufacture which is on the label on the side of the box. Blast them a quick email and see what they require to RMA it back to them, I know back to base is first year only but they may ask for a proof of purchase.

WOW ! ! just checked the warranties link and i was very lucky with sapphire as it only took 9 days to send and get back my card !
It says 3 years in the papers enclosed with my 980 Ti as well, although here in Norway there's a mandatory 5 year warranty on everything that's reasonably expected to last 5 years or more.
Looking promising so far, though I will have to send the card to the Netherlands at my expense it seems. They didn't baulk at the serial number I gave them, waiting for an RMA number now.
I guess that is a problem getting a quiet card with a huge heatsink, it weighs more and might be costly to send.
Yes I had an MSI from Ebuyer and they do give you 1 year BUT MSI give you 3 so you should be OK
Thanks, latest on this is I bought a new graphics card to keep things going, and was given an RMA by MSI for the old 260X but it has to be sent to the Netherlands at my expense.Quote:

Cost me something like £9.50 to send it, but I sweated for a bit as to whether it was going to get there so a couple of quid more to have signed for delivery might have been wise. Call it 2 weeks round trip including the time to get the RMA raised, not that bad.
Have to find a machine to test it in now.
