for those of you that are wining and crying about stepping up to 6gb.
do you even realize that a single 780ti will choke before 3gb worth of vram will ever get used up?  even 780ti sli is bearly nose above water.
 
so unless you are you are running: 780ti trisli?  and 3K+ resolution?  and max eye candy with AA.  6gb does not even apply to you.
no need to get all bent.
 
sorry for the reality check n tough love.
 
 
 
anyway - when is the 780ti 6gb coming out?  looking for a trisli or quadsli setup for BF4 at 3k resolution with all the eye candy.




 
A serious question, because I am still pretty wet behind the ears with somethings, but are you saying on games such as Titanfall with max settings, 4xMSAA and ultra textures, which uses more than 3GB of vram(I think 3GB+ at least), it would be a waste? Using a 144hz monitor in 1080 btw.

I just bought an EVGA GTX 780 SC 3GB w/ ACX Cooler  on March 3rd, 2014.  I registered the card and uploaded my invoice.  I wanted to apply for the Step-Up program for the 6GB version, but when I checked my account it said under the details in "My Account" that this product is not available for Step-Up.  I'm assuming my card doesn't qualify (not sure why they used the term available) for the Step-Up program from this statement.  Is there an exclusion with my specific card (SC model)?

I think you have to use the sign up page instead of My Account.

Oh....so the 6GB "step up" program is different process than their normal "step up" process?  hmmm.
Looking at their U.S. Step-Up list on the page, I see that the highest GPU Step-Up is the GTX 780 w/ ACX and mine is already a step up from that with the SC version.

Lucky for Europeans, owners can Step-Up to a GTX 780 Ti it seems. 

So since it says a step-up is not available for my card, I'm assuming it's basing it on their current list which does not include the 6GB versions yet.)
I already  signed up for the 6GB Step-Up program on the main sign up page so I guess I just have to wait for their email reponse since I'm in the que.
 
Regarding my concern..... this is from the steps I followed from their support page where I was able to check if my card qualifies:
  1. Request to start your Step-Up within 90 days of your original purchase from your product detail page
    1. Navigate to  under Member Home
    2. Click on View Details of the product
    3. If your product qualifies, you will see the option to start your Step-Up

Yes, the cards have not been released yet so you can not do a Step-Up at the moment. The list is an alert that will tell you when they are available so you can activate the Step-Up and get in the queue. It IS NOT automatic.

Might be a stupid question, but how many times can one step up? For example can i purchase a 780 3GB now and then wait for 90 days, purchase a 780 6GB then wait another 90 days and purchase maxwell 880?
This is just an example, please don't flame me, i'm confused how the program works. Can you only step up once?

I have the 780 3gb SC with acx version. Is it worth $30 to step up for this?

One step up per card, within 90 days of purchase.
