EVGA 90day stepUp worthwhile?

[bimmerboii]

Gaming on 1680x1050 on my x1900xtx and im thinking its time for an upgrade. I know the new ati/nvidia cards are arriving in a few weeks but my hands are itching to get hold of a new graphics card.

So I thought of going for EVGA cards cos they have the 90day stepUp thingy. Surely the new Nvidia cards will arrive in less than 90days right? Also, want to know how fast/reliable this stepUp service is. Anyone with experience on this?

I wouldn't buy an EVGA card just for the step-up as EVGA can pick the prices you sell and buy at, so you could end up paying a lot more than if you sold the card privately and bought new.

The reasons I would buy an EVGA card are the warranty, the RMA service, and the extras in the box, among others. They're a good brand, even without the step-up service.

Also wouldn't put money on better cards being out within the next 90 days...
