Nvidia spent 1003% more on warranty claims in 2025 than the year before according to a new report, with the total cost almost reaching $900 million
Nvidia experienced a dramatic surge in warranty claims during 2025, with costs skyrocketing and claim rates reaching unprecedented levels. According to reporting from a trade newsletter focused on warranty management professionals, the company’s warranty expenditure in 2025 reached nearly $900 million, representing a staggering 1003% increase compared to 2024. The claim rate itself climbed even more sharply, jumping 800% year-over-year.
The magnitude of these increases suggests potential widespread issues affecting Nvidia’s GPU products, though the reporting does not specify which product lines or categories drove the surge. This development raises questions about reliability and quality control in Nvidia’s hardware offerings during a period when the company has maintained dominant market positions in both gaming and data center GPU segments.
The source of this data—a trade newsletter for warranty management professionals—indicates the information comes from industry-level tracking rather than direct public disclosure from Nvidia. Such trade publications often provide insights into manufacturer performance metrics that aren’t otherwise available to the general public.
