Hello,
I RMA'ed my GTX 970 last year and left it alone (this is where i screwed up ). I was in a spot where i couldn't really test out the card and only recently have opened the box to test it out only to find out it's DOA. Now i'm not really getting any help because EVGA TW aren't offering to help because the warranty ran out, even though the card did not survive 5 minutes out the box.
I know i screwed up because i didn't test out the card, but i feel like replacements should have a longer life span than 5 minutes out the box. EVGA TW said they can't do anything without warranty. Am i basically screwed out of a GTX 970? I'm not getting any support from their customer reps.
