In the current market, you have essentially no way to buy from a manufacturer or primary retailer. You have to get _insanely_ lucky to be able to do so.
So you're essentially saying nobody is going to be looking for any warranties on any cards, which is quite wrong.
- AnssiH 5y agoAround here (Finland) there is a moderate amount of various cards in stock at the biggest computer retailers, the prices are just high: https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/catalog/706b/Naytonohjaimet/products?filter=AvailableImmediatelyAllChannels%3Aimmediately_shippable https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/catalog/706b/Naytonohjaimet/...

- kadoban 5y agoYeah you're right, it does depend where you are. I can only speak for US market.
- xxs 5y agoin EU, you can just buy cards at amazon - the prices are what they are... 2100€ for 3080ti, sold by amazon, themselves. Being amazon you have the easiest returns ever, just send a complaint and send it back, they will return the money and both shipping costs.
- Animats 5y agoIn the current market, you have essentially no way to buy from a manufacturer or primary retailer. It's not impossible. Central Computer, Silicon Valley's main chain of computer stores, has a buying office in Shenzhen. So a lot of stuff goes directly from factory to them. This avoids the detour through Alibaba to somebody's garage to Amazon.
