Should I get the 680 GTX with EVGA's step up program?

[aser92]

I just built a computer a few weeks back.

My motherboard supports PCI 3.0

As for the VGA that i own, I bought the Nvidia EVGA 580 GTX Classified ultra.

I can apply for the 680 GTX with EVGA's step up program where i can replace my current VGA with the new one as long as 90 days have not passed yet on my purchased.

So is the 680 GTX worth the gamble since it is a new piece of hardware in a new generation with issues that remain unseen for now.

If you have the cash, do it. It's worth it.

It will cost me nothing because my current VGA is 50$ higher than the price of the 680 GTX

Then do it! GTX 680 is way faster than GTX 580. It would be a crime not to do it About the unforeseen issues: They generally don't happen, and if they happen, you can always RMA.

WHAT YOU WAITING FOR, FOOL? EVEN MURDOCH SAYS THAT'S A PLAN

And it's new hardware, so performance is likely to improve still further as the drivers mature and the early bugs get squashed.

WELL, WHAT YOU WAITING FOR, SUCKER?
