It depends on the exact terms and conditions of your PC manufacturer’s warranty. Generally speaking, most warranties offered by PC manufacturers do provide some level of coverage for defective graphics cards, but the exact terms and conditions can vary from one manufacturer to another.
In some cases, a faulty graphics card may be fully covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. For example, some warranties may cover the cost of a replacement graphics card if the original is deemed to be defective (as long as the failure is not the result of user error or mishandling). Other warranties may not cover the entire cost of a replacement, and may require the customer to pay a portion of the replacement cost.
In addition, some warranties may only cover the initial purchase or installation of a defective graphics card, meaning that any subsequent damage or failure due to misuse or mishandling will not be covered by the warranty. Furthermore, some warranties may have time limits attached to them, so it is important to read all the terms and conditions of the warranty before making a purchase to ensure that you understand the exact coverage provided.
It is also important to note that if a faulty graphics card is discovered within the first few weeks of use, then most PC manufacturers will allow customers to return the defective item and receive a full refund, provided that the customer can provide proof of purchase.
Ultimately, determining whether a faulty graphics card is covered under your PC manufacturer’s warranty requires careful study of the terms and conditions of the warranty agreement. If you are uncertain about the coverage provided, then it is always best to contact the manufacturer directly before making a purchase.
