EVGA 90 Day Question

[Wolfy89]

With the EVGA 90 day step up program, how exactly does it work? Do you just add the money onto the original price you bought the card at, or do you have to add the extra money onto the price that the card is at at that moment in time? Example: I buy a GTX 260 Core 16 SSC for £224 from an online retailer, then I save some more money and put it towards a GTX 295 that is £424. Am I right in thinking if the price of the GTX 260 went down to say £190, then I would still only have to spend an extra £200 to get the 295? Purely an example

Thanks

The prices are the RRP from EVGA iirc, so it's a massive ripoff.

Oh right... Well I get a 10 year warranty atleast I suppose.

Sorry to go off topic, but I think I read in another topic that you said you have a EVGA GTX 260 SSC. How does it perform?

But seriously, would you even need more than 10 years when it comes to computer tech?

It'd be like trying to RMA a 3DFX Voodoo 2 or the original GeForce 256 today - absoutely no chance of the hardware actually being supported OS/DirectX or drivers-wise let alone the performance!

Also, I don't think it's EVGA, I believe there is a European law that states (certainly for computer stuff) that the maximum warranty that can be given is 10 years....that's why other companies such as BFG tech "only" offer a 10-year warranty as well.
