Tigerdirect might take over 14 days to delivery my card and i'm worried about making the deadline for the step up program. Is there anything I can do? I can't register my card until I physically receive my GPU with serial number..

I'm sure you'll be fine.. as long as you have the invoice and the shipping confirmation I'm almost 100% sure EVGA would allow you to register in your lets say 2-3 days outside of the 14 if it actually takes them that long to deliver it.

shaneduce There is only one 980 available in the step up. http://www.evga.com/support/stepup/
I assume hes getting the 980 wit the hopes of stepping-up to the 980TI when its released in late oct/november

You can't step-up from a 980 to an 980 Ti. It's the same GPU. Graphics Cards- EVGA will only release reference versions of its products, NVIDIA reference spec and clock, to the Step-Up program.
- Step-Up is limited to pre-approved graphics cards only and can only be used for exchange to a different and higher performing GPU.
- Products known to have a limited availability will not be made available to the Step-Up program. (Limited availability determined by EVGA.)
- Customers who received their EVGA graphics card as part of a complete computer system are not eligible - except for those listed on our approved system vendor list.
Graphics Cards Examples: - GTX 460 → GTX 580: YES (Upgraded GPU)
- GTX 460 768MB → GTX 460 1GB: NO (Same GPU)
- GTX 570 → GTX 480: NO (Must be GPU upgrade)

okay whatever, hes concerned about registering his card. bottom line if you don't get it in 14 days assuming you have proof of the shipping delay (i.e. your delivery date) I imagine EVGA will be fine.

Yes he will be fine, it's now just a waiting game.

You can always email Customer support and they generally get back to you within the same day.

It isn't though. IIRC you could step up from the 780 to the 780Ti just fine, why would the 980 to 980Ti be any different?

I don't think this is always true. IIRC, the 780 3gb was eligible for the step up 780 6gb. Ti vs non-Ti should be totally eligible IMO because the difference usually means more enables cores. That makes it a different GPU

The GK110 in GTX780 didn't have all SMX clusters enabled, so nVidia could enabled the rest and create a whole new product, for instance GTX780 Ti; so it was a different die in that sense. But GTX980 uses a fully-enabled GM204, nothing disabled. If nVidia made a GTX980 Ti using another GM204, then it is the same die because all that can be done is raising the clocks. That said, I don't remember if anyone with GTX680 could Step-Up to GTX770, which effectively had the same GK104 but with raised GPU and Vram clocks for a lower price. If nVidia uses a GM200/GM210 in an upcoming GTX980 Ti, then it will be a different GPU entirely. Of course we're assuming a GTX980 Ti is coming at all or any time soon; I don't buy it because of reality: There isn't even an AMD threat to GTX980 until next year, a "GTX980 Ti" would only cannibalize GTX980 sales. The only threat at the moment that nVidia needs to deal with is that GTX980 is faster than Titan Black. nVidia needs to get that $999 premium back, so they will make another Titan before they make Ti model. What we don't know is what is in the next Titan, it could be another GK110 set with higher clocks to be faster than GTX980, it may not be a Maxwell die; it literally doesn't have to be.
