So I bought my 8800GTX a few weeks ago and haven't registered yet. Should I? I mean if I have an issue later I can always register right before claiming warranty right?
To all eVGA card owners.

Alright, but then how do they control the Step Up program? That way I can just wait till something new hits and then register or something right? Also is the step up restricted to only citizens of the US of A?
It's been a while since I registered an EVGA card, but I think you enter a purchase date or its done through the card's serial number (cant remember) which is also confirmed by them when you send them your invoice.
Alright but I don't need to send them a copy of the invoice unless I go for step up right? I can just register normally otherwise?
The invoice date of your original card is the start of the 90 days I believe. StepUp is available to the US and Canada.
US and Canadian customers are allowed to. I'm in Canada and I was going to StepUp but after reading on the eVGA forums that some Canadians got charged customs at the border...I decided to just eBay my 7900GTO (made a profit) and just buy the 8800 from here.
I wouldn't worry about the Step-up program. I think the limit in 90 days after you purchase a card. And I highly doubt Nvidia will be releasing a faster card anytime soon.
Why step-up? Your 8800GTX is fast enough. If you plan on upgrading later, I suggest getting a second one.
Alright so I am not worried about Step up.
Say I want to sell this baby in a couple of years... which is why I put off registration so that can pass on the warranty... I am just wondering if I HAVE to have a receipt to register in case warranty is needed. I kinda lost it...

I think EVGA just changed the terms of warranty that if you don't register within 30 days of purchase you only get a 1 year warranty instead of the lifetime warranty. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=125828 - I wouldn't chance it and register the card ASAP.
Wether you plan to step up or not why not go ahead and register it? It doesnt cost anything to register it other than a couple minutes of your time.

I also suggest you go ahead & register... with a GTX the Step-up program is unlikely to help you much, but the warranty situation makes it a requirement... in addition EVGA offers an advanced replacement warranty for a fee & at the moment if you sign up its half price.

Meh- go ahead and register now and plead your case later if need be. They will cave in your situation and honor the lifetime warranty.
I went ahead and registered for the overnight advance replacement, if my 8800gtx tanks at least I got a replacement quick
The only reason I am not registering is because if I sell it in the future I want the warranty to pass.
Hehe- your the reason they have the new 30 day registration or no lifetime warranty dealio in place.
Ahh well I registered. Didn't want to risk it.
Also I am pretty sure that 30 day thing is BULLSHIT. They don't want a receipt... And stores have boxes lying for months... how can they prove when you bought. I should have toughed it out and not registered... The reason is I might sell this in a year and want to pass the warranty.
