I can find a lot used gpu's without the warranty or new with expired warranty online (especially on ebay) and they cost less (much less in some cases) than a card with some months yet or a full new unused warranty. The quiestion is, does it worth to pay some extra money and buy a gpu with warranty? Thanks in advance.

For a brand new card, minus a warranty, for 100 euros less?
I would take that.

New cards typically dont fail often, it does happen, but personally Ive never had to use any warranty on any of my systems components.

Its not necessarily worth paying extra for a warranty, but it is worth it paying extra for a new card.
A warranty could save you the entire price of a new card down the line, which is extremely helpful.

A new card would be best though, full manufactures warranty, and you know it was treated well.

The warranty is there to give you peace of mind. If you're buying a very expensive graphics card then a warranty might be worth it but if it's very cheap and easily replaceable then it might not be worth paying extra for the warranty. Then again I've never had a used graphics card fail on me but you might not be so lucky.

Thanks for your answer. Specifically, i could find a new (completely new and unused) gpu for almost 100euros less but it has no warranty (its just not valid in my country-region). Does it worth buying it or it would be better to buy a new card from a store in my country for 100euros most?
