How Much Does It Cost To Send A Gpu For Repair

alrobichaud

I bought a second R9 290 for $45(not functioning, of course) with intention of taking the nice ASUS DirectCU II cooler and using it on a reference model that is for sale locally for $250. I have been searching ebay for well-nigh ii months and that price is nigh where it should be based on what is for auction. There accept been a few cheaper options appear but when you factor shipping and Ebays new importation charge, a $250 gpu comes to over $300 pretty fast.

I contacted ASUS and they do out of warranty repairs at their facility about 400 KM from where I live in Canada. I am willing to chance and have them repair the GPU if the cost is reasonable. Obviously, anything shut to what I can purchase a used 1 for is going to exist too much.

Take whatever of you always paid for out of warranty service and how much did they charge?

I only wanted to update this thread in example anyone had a similar question. It looks like ASUS Canada has a repair facility in Markham, Ontario with a driblet in option. They have a $120 CAD apartment charge per unit repair fee. I accept read some bad things about ASUS RMA online but so far my experience has been proficient. Honest answers with fast response times. I sent the card in on Tuesday and it was delivered on Wednesday and in their system by Friday. I was and so sent the invoice on Friday with the estimated repair time of the following Tuesday. I will update again when I actually get it back. Looks like the carte is going to cost less than $200 CAD including purchase price, aircraft and repair toll. This is cheaper than my idea of buying a cheaper reference model and replacing the cooler. I am anxious to become it back to see if it can exist flashed to the 290x.

In my feel, they wanted to repair a motherboard at some point simply would charge the original price (160$).
I could buy the aforementioned mobo for 120$ on newegg.

Since the GPU is older technology, put the coin on a newer more efficient card.
The problem is that they need the card to make an estimate on how much the prepare volition price.

Not going to be worth it. You can get a GTX1050Ti with similar performance as that R9 and get information technology for less than $150.00.

In my experience, they wanted to repair a motherboard at some point but would charge the original price (160$).
I could buy the aforementioned mobo for 120$ on newegg.

Since the GPU is older technology, put the money on a newer more efficient card.
The trouble is that they demand the card to make an estimate on how much the fix will toll.

I do have that business. I am expecting something like $60 an hour with a ii hr minimum and hoping it doesn't take too long. Ownership used, It is going to price $250-$300. Information technology's not as elementary equally getting newer tech. I could get something like an RX 480 but new or not, it isn't any faster than the r9 290x that I have now.....I would need two to go similar performance to crossfire r9 290x and r9 290. Now we are talking $220 U.s.a. ten 2 plus tax and shipping....probably $500 CAD. In comparing $200 CAD in repairs isn't so bad. Shipping is $16 CAD so I might just send it in and meet what they say.

Not going to be worth it. You can get a GTX1050Ti with similar performance every bit that R9 and get it for less than $150.00.

Are you sure? Sounds too good to be truthful to go a bill of fare for $150 that has the same performance of ane that still costs $250+ used.

Keep in mind I have a perfectly performance R9 290x now. This is to crossfire so I can quadbox diablo 3 at 1920x1080 with better than minimum settings. I may accept left that out.

Pretty certain. At that place are some aspects where i is better, others where the other is. Here are a couple of sites comparing them and these comparisons are non well-nigh so lopsided as what yous linked.

But, since you are wanting to Crossfire them, it is a moot signal really. You will have to get a R9 to Crossfire to the one you take. When I was carte du jour shopping iii months agone, the R9 290 was style cheaper back then. It may be one of the cards with the prices being jacked upward with the mining thing right at present. In which case, it will come down at some point. But if you have to have that R9 for Crossfire, than it might be worth information technology. Did you see if they had a flat repair fee or non? If so, that would arrive easier to make a decision.

Just, since you are wanting to Crossfire them, information technology is a moot betoken really. You will have to get a R9 to Crossfire to the one you have. When I was bill of fare shopping three months ago, the R9 290 was manner cheaper back then. It may be 1 of the cards with the prices being jacked up with the mining thing right now. In which case, it volition come downwardly at some point. But if you have to have that R9 for Crossfire, than it might exist worth it. Did you see if they had a apartment repair fee or non? If and so, that would make information technology easier to make a conclusion.

Thanks for taking the fourth dimension to answer. I had seriously considered only going with new tech and selling my existing R9 290 X simply all the benchmark reviews that I have read on the green and red side continue maxim that I would need to purchase a mid/high tier card to equal the operation of the r9 290x.

I just wanted to touch on the GTX 750 ti again, breifly. The r9 290 has nearly 3 times the shader processing units and three times the memory bandwidth of the 750ti. It besides comes with 1 or 2GB of VRAM depending on the model vs the 4GB the 290 has. Looking at real world comparisons in games like BF4, which I do own and play at 5750x1080, the 750 ti does score adequately depression in comparing. The review below compares the 750 ti with the r9 280X and their is a fairly large gap in FPS between the ii. The cheaper 750 ti at newegg merely have 3 video outputs and I am running four monitors. three for 5760 x 1080 and 1 for afterburner and GPUz so I can monitor things while I am gaming. The 750 ti ranges in toll from $150 up to $300 CAD depending on the model and options. If I didn't already have a 290x to crossfire, I would certainly go with newer tech.

They volition not give me whatsoever kind of judge without the card and they do no have a apartment repair fee, unfortunately. I am going to transport it out today and see what they say. If information technology is going to price too much, I volition look into other options. I never considered mining driving prices upwards....that's a good signal.

Awesome. I mentioned that it might be a apartment repair rate. For 120 CAD I say get for it. It is definitely worth that.

You were correct. Yous were also right about the crypto mining. I bought two XFX DD 7970'due south back in 2012 and watched equally a twelvemonth later in 2013, AMD cards were in curt supply and priced quite high. Information technology did work to my reward as I sold my 6990 with an afte market place cooler for $475 which was much higher than I thought I would go. When you mentioned mining once more, I hadn't heard anything about the latest resurface. A few days subsequently you mentioned that, I got my latest edition of Maximum PC in the mail and the very first artical was titled 'Where are all our GPU's?' It detailed the latest etherium mining craze and how high cease AMD cards have skyrocketed in price for new and used models.

The latest craze explains why I spent two months browsing ebay and saw so many used high cease AMD cards selling for such loftier prices. Apparently, even retailers like newegg have raised priced by twenty-30% over a twelvemonth agone for the aforementioned gpu'south....which are all out of stock. If you search ebay today, you lot will come across r9 290's going for $300, $400, and $500 plus shipping and import fees to Canada which is basics. The $250 that I quoted seeing was typically the lesser of the barrel pricing for a reference model. Fifty-fifty locally on kijiji, there are only six r9 290's for sale and they are all betwixt $275 and $400.

This is the concluding time I will update this thread. I just got the RMA'd card back from ASUS today. They sent me an R9 290x Direct Cuii as a replacement. I certainly wasn't expecting that. Simply ran a few benchmarks and it is working merely fine.

Bo Lee · Jun 17, 2015 509 i 5,360 128

This is the final time I will update this thread. I simply got the RMA'd card dorsum from ASUS today. They sent me an R9 290x Directly Cuii as a replacement. I certainly wasn't expecting that. Merely ran a few benchmarks and information technology is working just fine.

Outstanding! Happy gaming!!!!
