Sapphire will now be offering 3-year warranties on all its products according to a report from VR-ZONE but this will be limited only to the Taiwanese market after a retailer has lobbied for the extension.
This puts Sapphire Tech in a much more competitive position with upper-tier brands like ASUS and EVGA whose GPUs are backed by 3-year warranties.
Now it may not affect our market right now, but its a good start. If return rates are still within acceptable limits I believe Sapphire will have no reason not to push this new warranty policy to its other markets especially here in the Philippines where it holds a healthy control of AMD cards. This will make them a much more palatable option for budget-conscious buyers who value their investment more than performance.
