ATI Technologies Cuts Video Card Warranty To One Year

ATI silently lowered its warranty down to 1 year for ALL of their desktop graphics cards. This shouldn?t have any impact on the warranty that offered by third party companies like Sapphire, ASUS, or VisionTek but it I find it interesting. Are they doing it to push more sales through their partners or as a cost saving move? I'm not sure, but I sent e-mails to both ATI and nVidia asking their thoughts about ATI's warranty reduction. Sound off about this hot topic in our forums in this thread.
