So I would assume this stands to reason that their Warranty now includes mining-related activities or stressors?

Thats smart , they dont need to sell anything now , they just put them to use make money , and then sell them as new . Win win situation for zotac 🙂 🙂 🙂

The haters are going to boicot Zotac for this? Good for the people that don't really care what brand the GPU they buy is, as long as it performs as it should and the price is OK.
And as for the babies crying around because they can't get a GPU because of the miners... well... get a life. It's not like you NEED a GPU, you just want the new shiny toy on the market... Sheesh... Some people need to grow up and learn to be patient.
I remember the same thing happend in 2018, lots of people crying because GPU prices or stock numbers.
My advice is to plan ahead, as if you inform yourself a bit, these mining crazes seem to have a cyclic nature of 3-4 years (that would be good to know also if you want to invest in cryptocoins 😉, invest a bit of money before, and if the GPU prices go up you have some profit)
And for something on topic, i think Zotac should have kept the tweet up. They are a bussiness like all other brands and if they want to sell mining cards they should, no hate from me.
Kudos to @Clouseau . If you want something you do something, you don't wait for something to fall in your lap out of the sky.
My 2 Cents 🙂

Well the solution is simple, just wait 2 or 3 years to change your GPU instead of 6 months, or better, wait until your GPU die, this will probably save the planet and let the manufacturer restock at the same time.
Enthusiasts you said ? well it's time to rethink your definition of this term.

Definitely a revisit to the term enthusiast... I mean if you're running tasks on top of mining with this - *whew you're a power user, but man about that Warranty, hopefully, mining is covered. I mention it for reasons beyond the obvious... everyone remember this?
