Thread: Trade Up

i need info on the trade up policy i have heard mentioned. what company does it, nvidia, evga?? i got my card 2.5 months ago and would liek to upgrade before the three months is up. any pointers.

EVGA 256-P2-N765-AR GeForce 8600GTS Superclocked 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Im getting there, you have to do it through the EVGA website, but i got the card from NewEgg. can i still do it? still trying to figure it out.

EVGA is the one that does it.
You will need to register your product, who you bought it from, and post the receipt. And before the 90 day window and start the step up program.

Yes, they will still take it. Just have to get going on it before the 90 day window.

yeah thanks, i figured it out, and 2 weeks before my window... i am disappointed you can only upgrade once... I am gonna get the e-GeForce 8800GTX 768MB i almost went for the ultra but an extra 150$ is a bit much. if they would let me upgrade again in three months i would... :3

Very nice deal.

the only thing that sucks, is when you upgrade one thing you are almost required to upgrade two or three things. I have to get a new power source now cause th 500 just aint enough anymore, and my processor needs an upgrade too...

Bringing out the BLING!

If there is something significantly better by the time my 90 days are up then I might step-up. eVGA is a giant becuase of this great deal.

500w should be fine , my 700w is still considered heavy overkill.

you can only upgrade once though, then you have to buy a new one and can then upgrade again.

really, its says in the specs and stuff to have 450W just for the card, you think it will still support my rig?
