1. Can an end-user like me claim warranty on OEM versions? The model in question is a Zotac GTX 1080. The retail ones with 3 years warranty cost at least 5-7k extra
2. Since I don’t plan on overclocking at all will the difference in warranty period be worth fussing over?
I plan to use it for 3 years at a minimum. I have a huge backlog of games released in the last few years. So I don’t care if I can’t play the latest AAA titles in the future.

No warranty on oem gpus. Though you may register it by making a forged invoice copy but at the time of claiming warranty it may be rejected as they maintain a database of gpus sold / imported for retail sale.

Yeah. That’s along expected lines. If the price hasn’t been as good I wouldn’t have bothered at all. Thanks.
