Hey, I registered for step up a few weeks ago. I was very close to the 14 day cut off for registration, but the website is allowing me to queue for the step up. Does this mean I’m good or will I have to buy the extended warranty? I purchased card on 8/18 and registered it on 9/1 so it’s 14 or 15 days depending on how you actually count the day. I’m guessing since it allowed me to queue that I’m okay, but would like confirmation. Also, I removed the thin protective plastic on my GPU before installation, does that need to be on the GPU when I send it back in? Sorry may be stupid question but I want to have all my bases covered.
