Anyone have a 3000 series GPU that could do me a favor?

I purchased Warhammer 40:000: Darktide Imperial Edition on eBay for $28 not realizing the redemption process reads your system’s hardware and it redeems to your Steam account once you log into GeForce Experience and sign in through Steam. The product key itself is a Nvidia one.
However, it would work if someone were to sign into GeForce Experience and then Steam with my credentials assuming they were doing so on their PC with a 3000 series GPU.. obviously this would take a huge amount of trust in someone on my part, but I have no where else to turn.
Yes I’m an idiot, but years ago when my RTX 2070 was new I purchased a similar offer on eBay for Monster Hunter and it worked because I had a qualifying GPU (which I didn’t even know was a requirement at the time so I figured this would work now too just not really thinking about it).
Of course the seller has ignored my message to ask for a refund - how could they trust me now that I have the key?

A gamecock and an Arsenal fan? Not sure you can be trusted... 
Not saying I'm willing to do it yet, but let's assume for a second that I was going to. Post detailed instructions (minus your log in info) of what the person would need to do. I don't use GFE, but I thought that was just a local program. I didn't even realize there was a log in process for it

I thought every Nvidia user had GFE. I don’t actively use it but it’s always just… there.
Basically with my credentials you would be signed into my GFE, and in the top right where it has my profile pic or whatever it is identifying the signed in account you would click redeem. I would have to give the Nvidia key I bought - which would be pasted in the redeem box.
It would then ask you to sign in through Steam in which I’d have to provide those credentials too, and probably my Steam guard code that is on the timer (as the QR code wouldn’t work in this case). At this step it would probably be safest for user helping me to be signed out of their Steam first so it doesn’t somehow redeem elsewhere.
That would seem to be all it’d take. I’d plan to make new passwords for both accounts temporarily and once redeemed to my Steam account would change my passwords back.

But this is from the sellers email itself which came with the key:

If you don’t already have GFE then maybe it’s too risky for you… it could tamper with your game settings to give ‘ideal’ settings for individual games…
Was hoping someone would have the qualifying GPU and have had already at least had GFE on their PC.
Don’t want to mess anyone up.

Only if you let Nvidia get away with its pre checked tickbox frickery. You can do a "custom" driver install and uncheck the box for GFE.
I don't particularly want to install GFE, so I'll wait to see if someone else who already has it installed, and has an RTX 3000, steps up. If you get desperate, I'll bite the bullet.

Also I was going to see if someone was interested in the game at this price … I paid $28 for imperial edition which is $60… and I’d just ask for a game on Steam currently on sale be gifted to me (such as Stray at $24).
I’d even let whoever helps redeem the code first … but I also hear Darktide is running like trash on these GPUs…. So I assume it’s trash on most builds.

The seller actually issued a refund. Color me surprised.
