So I've never used it but I think it's a good idea. I am curious though on the list of stores that you can use it http://www.evga.com/stepup/systemvendor/ newegg.com isn't one of them? Kinda boggles my mind condsidering I bet they sell more EVGA cards than half of those places put together. Can anyone confirm this for me? Or anyone ever buy from any of these places?
 
could just be newegg doesn't want to deal with the step up program, i don't think it is because evga doesn't authorize them to do it, i just bet newegg has other things they would rather worry about than dealing with step ups.

but that is just a guess.
 
Your link is the "system builders" list, which means companies that sell pre-assembled computers - and Evga will still give you step up even without the graphics card box from these system builders.

If you're buying the card in it's retail box, Evga will honor step up from pretty much any retailer that gives you an invoice.
 
No you are mixing "complete system builders" with "authorized resellers"... They are two different things and go by different rules. Newegg is full authorized reseller and I've done enough step-ups after buying from Newegg without any problems... ;)

edit: looks like I am slow :)
 
resellers don't even have to do anything in regards to the step up program anyway. It's all eVGA.
 
see this is why I was confused because before I was reading you just need to do this and that then send in the card but then when I searched the step up program I got this so I was like ummmmmm....

Newegg is an online retailer not asystem builder.

Thats alright, we all make mistakes. Honestly the first time i looked at the list i was slightly confused until i realized what i was reading and that those were distributors.

another thing i was confused about, i thought the list was for places that you could send your video card to and they would take care of the step-up rather than evga as long as you bought it from them. Didn't know it was just authorized system builders that if you bought from, you could trade in through evga.

I know my 7800gt went to evga to get traded in for the 7900gt which i don't own anymore and i knew step-ups went through evga, but that was also over a year ago so i thought maybe the way things were handled changed. So i was confused thinking the list was places that would do the step-up for you by sending you the stepped up card once they received your old one.
