I've managed to order a second hand 3060ti EVGA card and I guess my question is, when it arrives should I let in its details into my owned products list? I'm not expecting the usual warranty or whatever as it's probably had a long life already but is it worth doing for any reason?

Card is being bought from a retail store that deals in second hand kit.

Congrats on your GPU purchase
 
You can still register as second owner, it would help in getting any EVGA support like BIOS file

Thankyou for that information, I am excited to fly the EVGA GPU flag a little longer... I do miss this brand and wish they would one day return...

Well, I received the card and it looked basically brand new and unused, I registered it on the website and it's flagged up as having a 3-year warranty as if it was never used.  Not sure if it really had 3 years but I'm super happy with its performance thus far.

looks like new 
 
Any idea if it was an authorized EVGA distributor/ retailer - that sold the card? 
 
Secondhand warranty starts the day card was shipped by EVGA or from an authorized EVGA distributor/ retailer

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. :)
