Good question, I'm in the exact same boat and also curious for this.

When did you step up? I started mine at 12 cst yesterday.

One more thing I'd like to share is that I didn't purchase the extended warranty when i bought my original 3070 back in January because I wasn't sure I was going to keep it.  Just prior to me getting my step 2 notification my 90 day option to purchase the warranty closed.  I was able to purchase the extended warranty on my newly received unit which started the 10 year coverage upon the date that I purchased the warranty.  I guess this card is a keeper for me, my son, or a good friend to maximize the warranty I just bought.  Just thought I'd share this.

I didn't buy the extended warranty until after my new 3090 shipped.  I had the 3070 for about 3 months when my step up was processed.  I was beyond the 90 days after initial purchase, but not by much.  I was planning on selling my 3070 because I thought I was going to get a Kingpin card before my name was called for the step up which is why I didn't purchase the extended warranty because it's non-transferrable.  My 3650 days of warranty started on the day I paid while the card was in transit.  EVGA scans the serial number and it is added to your products page without you having to do anything.  Honestly either way you do the extended warranty should be good. 
 
I wouldn't expect the card to be used that long.  I'm hoping to get about 4-6 years of use.  By that time, the technology and demands of games might surpass the abilities of the card.  I'm lucky where I'm able to purchase these types of things without it hurting too much.  I'm thinking if my son who is going to get this card after I get my Kingpin gets to year 6 on it I'm good.  After that I'm sure he'll have upgraded his gpu if he is even gaming then.  Having a full 10 year warranty is kinda overkill, but for 60 bucks how can you go wrong.  
 
The 5 year warranty is just a little short for me in case you wanted to try and skip the next 2 generations of gpus.  If the games don't change too much, having 24 gigs of VRAM with the processing power this card has could have some staying power.  A 5 year warranty starting around now might make it a little short of the time it would take for 3 generations of gpus to come out if they hold the timeline of about 2 years.  It could force you to be an early adapter of the newest gen card then or fight to get one because your card is about to fail and is outside of the warranty period.  We have seen some of those cases with those who are on the 10 or 15 series of cards now having to fight to try and get a newer card or pay scalper prices just so they have something to use.  
 
If you didn't buy the extended warranty with your original card, then the start date of the 10 year warranty should be the day your pay for it on the new card.

I went to my products page and this is the info from it from my 3090:
View/Edit My Products:
Place Purchased:  EVGA  Step-Up
Purchase Date:  4/22/2021
Date Registered:  4/23/2021 7:04:23am
 
 
Warranty Information:
Warranty Period:  10 years
Warranty Start on:   4/23/2021
Price Paid:  60
Purchased on:  4/23/2021 11:41:44pm
 
Others have shared that it should be the same date of purchase, but from the above information it shows the date of the warranty start date the day after the date of purchase.  It would have been more clear if I had waited a few more days to see how that impacted my dates/times as it relates to my product, but I wasn't trying to max out the warranty time.  
 
I'm actually thinking it's the date of registration and they go from there.  I didn't look at my dates/times that well since I was good with just getting the warranty.  I wasn't sure they would have allowed me to start the warranty on the new product since my original card was beyond the 90 day window for the warranty to be added.  
 
But I would get the warranty under your 3060 and save the 20 bucks.  If you have the cross ship option they I would consider that as it has benefits that could be attractive to users.  It wasn't an option for me, so I couldn't take it.  It cost me almost 80 bucks to ship the card back two day air from where I am.  It would have been nice to have that option so that I wouldn't have to pay for shipping back to EVGA and for them to ship me a card asap with a credit card hold.  
 
Hope this helps.

yes it does.  Just checked.  

Thanks for confirming! It looks like the new 10-year warranty starts from your "Purchase Date" 4/22/2021, not "Warranty Start" date 4/23/2021.
 
It remains to check whether the transferred 10-year warranty would start on the old or new purchase date...

Here's to hoping my guess this is faster than the 3070 queue works. My poor 1070 just ate the dust after 4 long years so I can't wait to get my next one! (don't want to Frankenstein something so I guess we enjoy the .... outside???)

Step 1 : 5/24/21
