EVGA Step Up program question

[RMXO]

I'm thinking of using the step up program to get a 580. Would I have to send in my 470 before they send me a 580? Would like to know because I only have one card now. If I have to send in my 470 first, I'll go buy another 580 (for SLI) so I can use my PC while I wait for my new 580. If I don't have to send in my 470 first, I'll wait a bit before I go SLI.

thanks

You send the GTX 470 first then they ship you the GTX 580.

Ok, thanks. Guess its time to get a 580 so I don't have any downtime while I wait for my card.

Once you do the stepup you'll get a que number and they're over 1000 right now. It will be 3 months until you actually stepup.

for that reason alone, I might get a 570 instead.

Longest I ever waited was a month, of course your milage may vary.

I'm currently at 1034 in the queue & I dont have the patience to wait for my turn with my new Asus 25" arriving tomorrow. I'm going to cancel my 580 step up after getting a 570 this morning from Frys.
