Hey guys. I've been saving money for the last month since moving to night shift, got a 2$ an hour increase for that and it makes a nice difference. I've been doing some research on the EVGA step up program, including reading about it on their website, I just want to make sure I understand everything.

So I'm thinking of purchasing a 780ti to hold me over until the 880 is released, specifically the higher VRAM edition. I was looking at a Titan Black, but I think if I can purchase a 780ti and swap it for an 8GB 880 when it's available, that would be the best course of action. So if I purchase the 780ti from Amazon Canada, then register it with EVGA within 14 days of my purchase, I'm then eligible to upgrade my card within 90 days, correct? I assume it doesn't matter that I'm jumping generations as long as the monetary difference is paid.

What happens if the 780ti turns out to be more expensive than the 8GB 880? I'm going to assume I don't get any money back, and this doesn't bother me as I just want as much VRAM as possible for heavily modded Bethesda games and so I don't have to worry about having more than enough processing power in the future, but not enough VRAM, like my current 2GB 770.

Thanks.

Kind of hard to decipher as they have to pre-approve the item and it refers to only 'reference versions'. It looks like a 780Ti would have to be a 'standard reference clocked' version as opposed to a 'superclocked' version.
What happens when I Step-Up to a cheaper product?
Simply put, the cost of EVGA Step-Up is the difference between what you paid for your original product and the new product as listed at the EVGA Store. To calculate what you paid, follow these simple steps:
•Add line item price
•Do not include taxes
•Do not include shipping
•Subtract rebates from the line item price
•Subtract from MSRP as listed on EVGA.


You will only have to pay for the return shipping at the time of paying for your Step-Up. EVGA will not...

Graphics Cards
•EVGA will only release reference versions of its products, NVIDIA reference spec and clock, to the Step-Up program.
•Step-Up is limited to pre-approved graphics cards only and can only be used for exchange to a different and higher performing GPU.
•Products known to have a limited availability will not be made available to the Step-Up program. (Limited availability determined by EVGA.)
•Customers who received their EVGA graphics card as part of a complete computer system are not eligible - except for those listed on our approved system vendor list.

Graphics Cards Examples:
•GTX 460 → GTX 580: YES (Upgraded GPU)
•GTX 460 768MB → GTX 460 1GB: NO (Same GPU)
•GTX 570 → GTX 480: NO (Must be GPU upgrade)
