That's what I'm doing, though it's only going to cost me £17
This cost would be the same for me since i bought it before the price drops, although i have just ordered a evga waterblock for the classy...
Decisions decisions...
You pay the difference of your purchase and the stepup card.
For example...
Your card cost £200
New card £250
You would be £50 plus delivery

First ive heard about this step up from EVGA.
One of my 780s is a stock reference EVGA 780 that I have a XSPC water block fitted so I want to ask can I just refit the stock air cooler and return my EVGA 780 which cost £509 from OCUK and just pay the difference for a EVGA Ti card.
Also will the water block fir has anyone tried to fit a 780 or TITAN block on a TI card yet because the review I just watched on youtube says they will fit but reports I read online say no they wont fit.

The don't fit, the voltage regulators are a different layout. The EK backplate will fit though.

Thank you for the quick reply.
If my blocks wont fit XSPC with back plates then ill pass and wait for next years cards.

+1 ! I lost a lot of cash going from 3x GTX 580 to 3x GTX 670 and lost even more going from 3x GTX 670 to 3x GTX 780... going after 3x GTX 780Ti's would make me single again !
The steep price cuts on the regular 780 and the re-sale value of 780's on the 2nd hand/used card market doesn't really make the "upgrading" attractive even though I really want 780Ti's !
if I'm lucky selling two 780 would just cover the cost for one brand new 780Ti... that's a looong way up to 3x 780Ti's.If GTX 780Ti Black Edition 6GB cards arrive - then I'm might say screw it and sell all the 780's and get two Black Ed's for SLI
(and wish for money for christmas !)Ditto! I convinced myself that £500 after cash back and game sales was a fair deal. There is a certain satisfaction to finally getting your hands on a full-fat GK110 after first reading about them 18 months ago.

The Gigabyte logo on that card looks like a stuck-on cut-out. Looks horrible imo.
