Will EVGA do a upgrade program for the 1080TI

String said:
I've still got my 1080, I decided not to sell as like you say the value has sunk a wee bit more than I had anticipated and to be honest it's a cracking card in terms of how it clocks (2Ghz) and the quality of the cooler. I bought it at £30 more than the price it is going for now, so in that respect I genuinely don't have any buyers remorse.

What has prompted the step up talk is a wee bit bizarre. I was reading through the BBC news app when I noticed that Bitcoin has soared in price. I had a paper wallet in the bottom of my sock drawer that had 0.23BTC and it had been lying there for 2.5 years! :eek: Back then, the value of it was about £65. Yesterday, it was worth £240 :D

Anyway, I don't want to be transferring my bank details around for Bitcoin trades so I decided to buy the most saleable GPU for the value I was holding at a store that accepts Bitcoin. My initial intention was to sell on straight away, but now I'm pondering whether to hold on to it for a wee while in case I do decide to switch to the 1080ti - hence the step up queries.

I'm going to hold off and see what the benchmarks are like because I want a 30% increase over what I have if I'm to move to the 1080ti. If that's the case, then I'm buying the 1080ti, and two lucky MM surfers will pick up a 1060 & 1080 at very good rates. :p

Finding the Bitcoin has pretty much justified the purchase to me as it was money I never had, but as I say I really want to see benchmarks because if they aren't up to scratch I'll just punt the 1060 and keep the 1080.

Never got into the BitCoin stuff myself. Wish I did back in the day, but you never know with these things. Yeah nice finding money you never knew you had. Good luck with the sale. Going to wait and see what Vega brings myself, so I can go the Freesync 2 route :)
 
I have been looking at this step-up program it sounds like a good deal I have a Evga 1080 sc which i bought before the 1080ti announcement at the end of feb stupid yes and i got it before the price drop at £599 which will help me to step-up cos you only need to pay the difference in price to the card you need to get I the step-up the 1080ti founders edition is available if I like but I am going to wait for the SC version I can see how much I need to pay sounds easy :-)
 
I've just processed a Step-Up for a 1080ti FE (only model available for step up right now). It's working out at £498 and the 5 year warranty transfers over to the new card. My position in the queue isn't showing yet.

It's a bit of a dilemma as the card I'm trading in was bought with Bitcoin that lay in my sock drawer for nearly 3 years!
 
My position in the queue has been showing as "pending" since I triggered the Step Up. Is this normal?

I'm not expecting stock at the moment, but it would be handy to gauge where I am in the queue as they have advised me to do so in the email.

Yes its normal, when they have stock and your step up card is allocated it will change.
 
well I am going to wait a bit longer as I have 74 days to go on my step up to see if any 1080ti SC version gets put on the list
