Wow EVGA... just wow!
 
This is why the company has taken a huge dive over over the last 7 or 8 years. FYI two of your Mobos died on me too... X79 and the gen before that.
 
Can't say enough bad about this company... whereas I used to hype EVGA and be a fanboy.
 
**Thus the reason they redacted their lifetime warranties and gone completely short term. Horrible quality...
 
 Funny note... this GPU died 18 days after my warrant ran out (3yr warranty), a bit too coincidental.
 

Warranties are based on statistics, and product design choices are made based on pricing, marketability, competition, profitability, and warranties. Just saying.
(I'm not surprised.) You aren't the first. And it is usually the same components which fail over and over and over again. It's almost like they aren't surprised and don't care.
This is one reason why I tend to buy the cheapest version of a product, modify it the way I want, and not care about voiding warranties. My card was a b-stock model, the warranty is long expired, and it performs like none of its competition.

While I think eVGA has taken a large turn for the worse in terms of customer service (which is why I won't exclusively purchase their GPUs after this generation (RTX 30 series), I
personally do not think it was timed to die after the warranty ran out. Components (which they undoubtedly chose the cheapest version of to save costs) do die over time...
Cheap or expensive....if it's out of warranty, and you can tell what 'blew out'...if a capacitor or resistor ....maybe find someone who knows what they're doing with soldering
and have it 'fixed'?
Dunno...
 

Even though I rarely keep most cards after 3 yrs in my own system...I often sell/ give my other cards to family / friends  - which is why I almost always spend the extra $60 on the 10 year warranty option .....

Shhh, don't tell anyone. That's fraud.

I still have 1400 days on my warranty for my 980 Ti's I bought back in 2015, then again I bought the extended warranty. Still have a GTX 580 3GB with it's Lifetime warranty in my old PC that maaaaybe still works?

My 780 Ti lasted 7 years and only died because of a lightning strike.

I'm pulling ~330w on my 1080ti on a regular basis playing MSFS2020. If it dies it dies.

Agree the extended 5 year at a minimum makes min  max sense from the standpoint of playability and replacement efficiency. 
 
On the other hand, I have just now placed a second RMA:  on a 2080 XC that had a fan shaft snap causing the blade assembly to fly off into the case, 4 months before the 3yr base warranty would have expireed.  1st RMA: 3 years ago had a 1080 FTW just brick for no reason on boot, 11 months before 3yr warranty would expire.  I assiduously clean and over-cool our cards, and ceased using warranty breaking liquid cooling with the 980's as TDPs continued to drop.  Since we never OC our cards, stress on these RMA's would not have been untoward or anything out of expected probability ranges.
 
Lesson to me was get at least that 5 yr which you can get on a new card when you register it.  Now, we still have a bunch of EVGA 970 and 980's in our built machines, all out of warranty now, and that 1080 FTW is now out of warranty and still working like a champ.  Here's hoping we will keep them all healthy for another twelve months! :) 

I upgraded the warranty on my 2080TI to five years, after I stepped up.  I wasn't sure about the next gen...so I decided to hold on to this one.  When the time comes...I will probably put the 2080TI in my secondary rig, where I have a 1060 and pass the 1060 on to my son's rig.  Keep these in the family.  Hopefully when the 4000 series come out...the industry will have found it's sanity and the pricing won't all be gouged.  If it is still crazy...I am not worried...my 2080 TI still performs where I need it to.  I have little or NO faith in Nvidia

I can feel your pain. I've been without a PC since my 1070ti died a year ago. 

Why not just get a 1650 super of ebay? There are tons of them.

doesnt make any sense what youre saying regarding warranty

Cool GTX
Its sad when hardware just up & stops working, though the current supply issue makes it even harder
 
This is a perfect example of why you should consider buying the optional warranty extension ... you can push that factory warranty to 5y or 10 yr total for very little money, when the card in new
 
EVGA Extended Warranty

What happens with step up. I see that you can get the extended warranty before you step and it transfers but what happens if you have already completed a step up. Do you buy the step up on the original product or on the stepped up product?

If you have already completed the step up process and did not purchase the extended warranty on the card you are stepping up from, you can not purchase an extended warranty on the card you received in your step up.
