So I recently got told about the stepup program and I thought I was in massive luck seen as I only have 8 days left out of the 90 from original purchase date! However I am a european and the stepup options for Europe has not been updated like the American version has, my main question is, do we think it will happen? Seen as I have very limited time I would love to know if there is any way to enter the stepup program now just to secure my place or will I just have to wait for them to "hopefully" update the europe list.
 
Thanks for any help in advanced guys, really dont feel like shelling out another £400 on a brand new card but I wouldnt mind at all paying the difference for that little bit more performance and lower power draw.

    I think the rules are, so long as you're enrolled, you're OK.
     
    h ttp://www.evga.com/support/stepup/
     
    4. Wait in queue until approval - this step can last from a few days to many weeks depending on demand
    5. EVGA will review your request and you will be approved if you have met the terms and conditions
     

    Why do I have to wait in queue?

    We have a queue for our Step-Up process so you can keep your current EVGA product until we have your new product ready and waiting for you in our warehouse. Sometimes, very high demand will necessitate a longer than usual queue, but once you have made your request and you are in queue the 90 day limit no longer applies - you are considered in the Step-Up process.
     
    (So let's say you apply on day 87 of 90.... but it takes EVGA 5 months to get a GPU out... so long as your request was MADE, you're fine.)

    I did spend a little time reading the stepup terms and conditions but I was thinking they would at least have to have the option of the step up card to actually enrol for it, like if I entered the stepup program now, the only thing I could "upgrade" even though it would be a downgrade would be to a 760, I could be misunderstanding how the actual process works though.
     
    Thanks for your reply dude!

    You can upgrade to the bigger cards if you are willing to pay the difference in price.

    Right now europeans cant step-up to 970/980. We are waiting for news on Monday. There is a thread about this in the gtx 9xx forum section but for some reason i cant link it here. Check it out.
