Are there any plans to incorporate this into the EU warranty?

EU division would have to decide on that.

I second that notion

That is an outstanding warranty. Problem is I am in New Zealand so it doesn't apply to me

Yes, this isn't a dig at XFX but I think all companies should have a single global warranty that way people are not discriminated by where they happen to live, because at the end of the day it is STILL the same product whether it is purchased in the USA, the UK or New Zealand!

You could almost make a court case out of that argument I spose. Like, if XFX is guarenteeing the product to last a lifetime in America, and it was manufactured at the same place, then you can then go on to say that if its the same product then it should have the same guarentee elsewhere. But oh well.

True, but it would cost a lot of money (unless lots and lots of people grouped together) and then big corporations always have some sort of clever way of sneaking out of these things.
XFX are not the only offenders, BFG, EVGA, ASUS, and even Intel have better warrantys in the USA and North America than they do in the rest of the world.

Its not just that guys, XFX has offices in other countrys and they might no necessarily have same policies as the US office.

It can't really fight for a policy that is from another country when you don't live in the that country.

What about here in the UK? £510 each and I bought 2 of these XXX Ultras.
As soon as I remove the stock cooller the warranty is gone?!

$2000 of graphics cards is alot to not be covered

[BarryB]

Yes, but you could always put the stock cooler back if it breaks

Well I guess this clears up the doubts I had about people saying modding was OK. Any chance of XFX offering already modded water block cards like BFG does? Seems to me it would be the next step and better than the fanless ones you're already offering.

BTW, I don't mean the huge GPU/chipset type blocks BFG uses, justy a GPU block and heatsinks where needed.

Poor girl.

Is the reason due to possible shipping and handling damage or something? That is the only reason I can think of.

I think my next card will be an XFX!

Its not that it would be due to shipping and handling damages, its more that the stock cooler was removed.
