EVGA has the 280 on the site for Step Ups!
- Thread starter TalonMan
- Start date
I've been waiting to step up from my 9800GTX KO, however I didn't think prices were going to be as high as they are. I don't think I can rationalize 300 bucks to go to the GTX280...but I may do it anyway...I'm hoping prices will come down a bit within the next 32 days.

I bought my 9800GTX on day 1 for $340. I only have 14 days to make up my mind.
$310 to step up to a GTX 280.
$160 to step up to a GX2.
$270 to go SLI with another 9800 GTX.
$30 buy a case of good beer and I won't care what kind of frame rates I get.
No, you can go to the EVGA website and once you login to your account, go to VIEW MY PRODUCTS. It will show your Step Up status and all pertinent information.
Thanks!
Step-Up Cost $40.00, Shipping Option-UPS Ground Shipping, Cost-$12.39, Total Cost-$52.39
Next Step: Waiting In Queue: #44

It's why so many people send me PMs to help them out.
It moves people in blocks, and doesnt remove them until they actually pay/ship the card. So that could explain why a person in 102 is getting notification. During one launch they moved as many as 500 people in one day.

Yeah, it took me about 30 seconds to get the email where it asked for me to upload the invoice. That was this morning though.

As i have been told, there are no absolute dates just yet.
I would just like to say, when i was looking at picking up a GX2, knowing i would use my step up, some told me I was crazy. They told me to buy a lesser card, and run that until the 280 came out. I told them that I might as well get a GX2 because it was like money in the bank. Many didn't agree...
Turns out my $609.99 GX2 worked just fine as step up cash, and I was able to run at GX2 speed the entire time.
Thanks EVGA!! I do like the Step Up Program.

Prices never come down from MSRP at the EVGA site as it relates to step up.
Yep RussianHAXOR is a mod for the nv forums last I've heard. I've PM'd him questions before and he's been a great help. A little quicker than emailing nvidia's support
Already used my stepup from a 8800GTS 512 to a 9800GTX. The GTX 280 is cool for sure, but I can't justify dumping that much money on a card right now. I've been gaming a lot less than before, hopefully some cool new games will come out. Farcry 2 has peaked my interest.
Thanks eVGA for your wonderful service!

I was a bit slow on the draw as I was sleeping in my hotel room - heading over to a customer site in a couple hours for an overnight (CEST time) cut-over. Fortunately the customer is an ISP, so I'll be able to keep an eye on my email and complete quickly once my batch goes through
