besides the point, when you get a refund your refunded what you paid for it

You didn't do a refund, so that is not applicable.
Your £300 bought you the right to a graphics card with the performance and specifications of a GTX260.
I didn't buy you a £300 gift card that you can redeem whenever you please at some arbitrary point in the future.
If the company offers you a like-for-like replacement then that is entirely reasonable.
Depreciation is a thing. If you've been around PCs for as long as you say you have you know this already.
You buy a performance bracket, it not that complicated.
Your performance bracket degrades over time.
Just like buying a car...it's value drops and you can seldom resell at pruchase value...the older the card...the less value.
You always get RMA to match the performance bracket, not price as long as I can remember back.
Your SKU does not live in a vacuum where value just stays the same, disregarding inflation and age.
It loses monetary value pretty much at the same rate as it drops in its performance bracket.
I think Davros just wants that to be what every one thinks so he feels better arguing for it. Good luck on the quest if you ever get there. Who knows, but honestly the cheapest cards now are probably an upgrade so no real loss. Btw this is normal in other industries as well, but it isn't as easy to match a new model sometimes without simple benchmarks. For example on a bike frame you would likely get one with similar weight and travel.
No, "lifetime warranty" typically means "for the lifetime of the product". Which is also, incidentally, why a product's support cycle ending is referred to as "end of life".
Once the product's lifespan is over, it's not under warranty anymore.
It's still a fair sight longer than the typical 1-3 year warranty, but it's insane bordering on raw stupidity to expect a warranty to be honoured *decades* after the fact.
again, "lifetime guarantee" implies life of product.
I'm betting that 7900GS was probably RMA'd for the same card, btw. Not for a newer fucking card lmao.
The point was it was still rma'd which demonstrates it's not lifetime of the product since the lifetime of the product ended years ago
And if they dont have a 7900gs what do they do say sorry your $250 card is dead here have a $50 gt710 as a replacement it's about the same frame rates
And if they dont have a 7900gs what do they do say sorry your $250 card is dead here have a $50 gt710 as a replacement it's about the same frame rates
Yes. Or they'll just say sorry but it's past end of life and there's nothing to replace it with because the product is considered 'dead' and unsupported.
