Advice for Graphic card ( repair or new purchase )

[TheMost]

Guys I have some problem with my graphic card and that started to give me some problem.
Details of problem

I don't have an idea whether to repair this - worth the repair or I should buy a new one.
If repairing this is a good idea any idea where can this card be repaired in chennai ?

Or should i buy a new one ?

My GPU :
GeForce GTX 260 (Performance edition)
bought this in US

you should call PNY support and ask them about it or go to a local computer shop and ask them .

Thanks for the response...
I have called a local shop ...
They told that they will cost rs.1500 to 2k for a service and they won't guarantee how much days the card may work ..
May be 1 day or even one year ..

Tmr I will ask PNY ..:beer:

Better to get a new card when you have money.

1.5k for it noway, invest in a better one. Does it still have warranty and that too in india??

Some of them come with lifetime warranties, thats why I asked.

here's the PNY's Limited Lifetime warrnty policy :

Three years (plus an additional 2 years upon completion of a registration form on PNY's website)

and most of the GPUs don't have international warranty.

I don't think it is worth it if they cannot say. IMO it will be best if you get a new card.

Get a new one instead of repairing it.
In my view,damaged gizmo should be replaced by a new one rather than getting it repaired.
Who knows how many days it would work after repairing it.

Ok guys ... they say that it will cost upto 2.5K ...
So i am leaving the idea of getting it repaired ..

Thank you for your valuable opinions ..
I will buy a new card within 4 months (going to a new house)
