In case of video card failure (Radeon 5950) due to bad OC, would you be able to recognize an overclocked video card and determine that OC was a primary reason of failure of the card?

 

If yes, do retail stores check for it before issue a new replacement card?

1) If card fail due to bad OC, means that you rise the voltage and that's not cover by warranty.
2) The retail store never check that, they send the GPU to manufacturer and they check the cause of dead of fail, if was by OC, you won't get replace.

Maybe in a lineup, but it was dark officer and it all happened so fast :P

but yes, they can see which component failed and deduce the most likely cause, if they see its overclocking outside warranty, you are s.o.l. sorry
