Purchasing RTX 2070

[xAtri]

Hey,

 

I'm from India, I'm planning on purchasing a GPU.

 

I was wondering if buying a graphics card from the US (via a family member) and have them bring it to me is a viable option. Since an RTX 2070 costs about USD 490~ and it costs about USD 800~ if I buy it locally.

 

How important is the warranty?

Is there any possiblity that it might get damaged?

Is there any brand that offers international warranty?

 

Do you have any other suggestions?

Warranty is dependent on the manufacturer I think, so you can double check if the brand you wanna buy from has international warranty or not, for example I bought a Sandisk SSD from Amazon and it broke and I contacted Sandisk and they offered an RMA no problem (don't live in the US)

This is EVGA's Warranty for example
