I foolishly didn't check that warranty status link until after registering the card on my account so it just displays the same warranty as my account page. I guess I'll just keep at it and see how it goes, the card is awesome so hopefully nothing will go wrong anyway, it was just crazy that it popped up with 3 years. The store I got it from sells loads of used items so pretty sure it's not an authorised retailer. Still glad to fly that EVGA card flag a bit longer.
I was expecting the card to look second-hand, dust etc but it still has that new PCB smell, clean fans no muck in the heatsink etc it was even in an EVGA antistatic bag lol... whatever home this thing had before it didn't see much if any use. :)
