Just wondering before I plan my purchases, if I got an evga 8800gt now, and something new comes out in the next 3 months, I can trade it in and pay the difference right?
Well, it looks like nothing new is coming in 3 months, but at around 2.5, can I trade it in for an 8800 ultra or something? Would that extend another 3 months?

Thanks for the clarification guys.
 
That is correct, it won't get extended.

I have another quick EVGA question:

If you buy an EVGA GT from newegg, are you able to use the step-up program, or is it only when you buy it directly through the EVGA website? What about if you buy the EVGA packaged with Crysis for 299.99 from newegg?
 
You can use Step-Up on any retail card bought, its only specific OEM vendors (pre-built) that EVGA will allow you to Step-Up with.

This is how stepup works...

your card is 270 dollars worth... lets say something that comes out costs 400.

you pay... 400-270=130

Then, if applicable you pay taxes on that 130... and add shipping (between 10 and 15 bucks) and you are good.

So hypothetically speaking thats how it would work.

As for stepping up again, you can only stepup once per retail purchase. You cannot stepup a stepped up card. Also note that you need to register within 30 days to keep your lifetime warranty and to get the advanced RMA discount should you ever need to RMA.;)
 
Wow very informative and I thank you for taking the time to post that for those of us to lazy to look for that info. I just got my eVGA 8800GT Superclocked and in order to avoid conflict will be selling it on the for sale forum within 30 days so the person who gets it can register the card and step up. My question is will the buyer need a physical receipt or a electronic receipt from me showing proof of purchase in order to register or step up? Thanks in advance!
 
Whoever is the original purchaser is who keeps the warranty on the card as well as the stepup. If you sell it to them, they lose all priveledges. But if you, the original owner need to RMA or Stepup you will need the original invoice to do so.
