Hey guys,
I am looking at a Gtx 1070 FE, and i am buying it directly from Nvidia. Now the question is who will be the manifacturer (EVGA, MSI,etc) ? Do i get to choose or will i get an Nvidia branded card. If i get an Nvidia Branded card will the warranty cover India?

Thanks for the help.

I would check all manufactures coverage for your area inda ?? who know if the even honor any warrantee there or you may have to ship it around the world at your cost ??

every area got there own set of rules laws and regulations ??

NVidia inda

evga global warranty

MSI [now looks like MSI got service locations in inda that maybe a big plus if you had to send it off ??]

https://in.msi.com/page/service-location

so look them all up and maybe choose the one that serves your area the best ???

I could take my 1070 Fe to a service store and not tell them where i brought it right?
 


The thing is, in order for them to fix your product for free under warranty terms you have to take it to the store you bought it from. When the minimum legal warranty is exceeded and the manufacturer actually provides a longer warranty, the shop itself won't get in touch with the manufacturer to fix the issue anymore, you will have to get in touch with nVidia India and ask them where to send the GPU to - they might have authorized service on Indian territory - it doesn't necessarily mean you would have to send the card outside your country for a fix or replacement. In either case, you are covered.
If you take the card to a store other than the one you bought it from while the GPU is still under warranty, they won't fix it for you for free - and if you decide to pay for the fix / replacement your original warranty would be void.

Just out of curiosity though, How is Nvidia QC?
 
lots of if's you like to put things ?

if a evga you will have to send it the there E.U service and so on then you don't know what the store policy is maybe just 30, days maybe no store rma ??? I think he want s to know for the full warrantee term if he had to rma after the store rma runs out

you gave poor info for him misleading the stors only do so much there not a service center

then I guess choose like MSI who got places right in india not have to ship out side of the country [$$$$$ ]

Well, as far as their GPU processors are concerned, they are very good. Sometimes the problems arise form build quality - pointing to issues at the board manufacturer's factories, rather than at nVidia's ones.
To give you an example: I still have a GeForce 8600GT working perfectly fine, despite it being very old.
Sometimes it's a hit and miss, but usually I can say that after building lots of systems, I can't really complain about the quality of nVidia's products, unless you take fake / false advertising into account (you know, the GTX 970 3.5GB trickery).
