Right, something is wrong here. When i process the step up it asks the original price in Euro's without tax. Which when i last converted was 498 euro's. Once the step up request is complete, it then shows the 498 in $ not euros. Then says i need to pay $203 :confused:

I'll contact eVGA about this as im now 7th in the queue as i restarted it thinking i had done something wrong.

Tempted to sell now and get 8800gtx if I could get £300 for my 7950GX2 (600/800) :confused:

Queues? Euros? Dolars? What is everyone talking about? Am I missing something?

whenRD600? · 10 Nov 2006 at 22:52

yeah whats all this step up? are they offering to trade in older nvidia cards as a trade in on a new 8800gtx or sommit? if so got a link???

YooEntSinMeROYT · 10 Nov 2006 at 22:59

eVGA have offered a 90 day step-up program for a while now.
If a newer gen card comes out within 90 days of purchasing your current card, you only have to pay the difference to trade in your old card for a new gen card.

Yeah the value of the dollar is truly shocking at the moment. Worth around 53 pence. Doesn't bode well when you've got substantial shares in the American company you work for & you see the value dwindle drastically when you convert them to GBP. If only I could get a bank account setup in the US

Wow, you robbed some sucker

If i could find someone to buy mine for £325 i would have sold too. Considering they aint much more brand new.
