Did you rea the whole thing?
Frammish
From the EVGA graphics card warranty page (https://www.evga.com/warranty/graphics-cards/):
”EVGA Corporation ("EVGA") warrants that the Product (defined below) delivered hereunder to the original purchaser ("Original Purchaser") from EVGA.com or an EVGA Authorized Reseller (each an "Authorized Reseller") will be free from material and workmanship defects that adversely affect the performance of the Product under normal use, pursuant to the terms outlined below. This Limited Warranty is only valid for the Original Purchaser, is non-transferable and does not extend to any used Products or Products not purchased from EVGA.com or an Authorized Reseller.”
Worth noting even though it is partially in bold - “original purchaser”.
“This Limited Warranty is only valid for the Original Purchaser, is non-transferable and does not extend to any used Products or Products not purchased from EVGA.com or an Authorized Reseller.”
Buy a scalped card and it looks like you could be out in the cold. Not good especially if you’re worried about capacitor or other issues.
Edit: There is a limited warranty when you buy cards from others, but it’s limited (duh) and may or may not be of benefit:
”A separate Transferable Limited Warranty is available for Second-Hand Purchasers, which also extends to used Products and Products not purchased from EVGA.com or an Authorized Reseller, as noted below.”
Did you read the whole thing? It's based upon the suffix in the part number and having proof of purchase between buyer and seller. This means a PayPal invoice is valid along with a receipt/invoice from eBay, most likely a PayPal invoice too.
I know this because I've been buyer and seller of secondhand GPU's and have had to do my research. It's not hard to create a PayPal invoice, I do it in-person with buyer/seller so the warranty transfers.
