OH didnt notice that from the egg .
I dont think you will be able to get it because basically they are sending a card from US hence it has a US based serial .
May be you should order from amazon.in . Then you will be entitled for that.
I'm not sure . Contact evga about this.

yes that is i need to know , if some EVGA staff can reply here about this and amazon.in do not have these cards for sale :( ; I would be most happy if amazon.in provided that though . 

I am checking on this.  Hopefully will have answer by tomorrow.

can i have an answer Rob ?  :)

Should be OK.  Register your card at our Taiwan site tw.evga.com.  If you have any issues, please email me directly and I can assist.  rbaca@evga.com.
 
Thanks,

Hey EVGA_RobB

Why no love for the people who splashed out and got the 980. Why do we not get a free backplate too?

Hey guys!
 
Question: I just placed a pre-order for EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 on Amazon.com and should have it arriving in a few weeks time. Am I still eligible for the back plate seeing as I live in Turkey, or am I out of luck? If it's the latter, will EVGA put the back plate up for sale at a later date so that I can buy one?
 
Thanks in advance! (:

Hey EVGA_RobB

Umm.. don't the 980's come with backplates installed already? I know mine did.
 
Now go give EVGA a big hug.
 

Reference does. ACX 2.0 does not.

Bought 2 SC ACX 2.0 cards. Would be nice to have backplates for them, and if buying a 970 gets you a free plate would be nice to do the same for people buying 980's.

Hello Rob, just a small question. I am from Asia region and planning to buy an EVGA 970 SC ACX 2.0 in the US (Newegg or Amazon) through my Auntie, and she will go here to where I am to bring the card. Where should I register the product to get the free backplate on the card, on the US region or Asia? I was thinking even though I bought the item at the US, is there a possibility that the free backplate be shipped to my address (Asia) where I am now? or EVGA will ship the free backplate to US only since the item is bought in the US? Thanks!

I just ordered my Geforce 970 ssc and I am kinda lost on how to verifiy that I have bought one?

Once you receive the card, it and upload your invoice/receipt. Add someone's affiliate code in the process if you're feeling kind - they'll get 2 EVGA bucks. Once that's done, you can go and for the backplate (that page checks you have registered your card already and that it is eligible for the backplate). You can't do any of this until you have received the card, as the serial number is required in order to register it.
 

Thanks!

Sure, I would have been better if the company just included them initially but I am glad that they are taking the steps to give the customer what they deserved all along. This gives me the impression that EVGA values their customers and have listened to peoples feedback about not getting backplates on these units.

If it was for the reasons you listed then it would have made sense to include the non reference 980's in this promotion too.

I personally think that they only did it to try and ease the backlash they got from the cooler/heat pipe complaints. There have been a ton of complaints (warranted or not) about the 970's and far fewer about the 980's. Squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say.

Received the free back plate for my 970SC today. Thanks EVGA, happy camper!!!

 
Wow that's way ahead of schedule. Nice work EVGA.
 

Got my backplate today also

Backplate in the house, thanks!

Mine arrived today as well. Thanks EVGA!
 

Why is everyone getting their backplates and I don't... Sigh.

Your request is awaiting approval. x4
Please allow 1 - 5 business days to process. x4

Submitted the first 2 cards on the 7th of October and the other 2 cards on the 15th.

And seeing that some of you already are receiving the backplates, I am wondering what time you signed up for it.
...probably Europe will get them way later.

Received the backplate for my 970 FTW yesterday.
 
Thanks eVGA
