I'm sorry for the confusion, but EU customers are eligible for the step up program: http://eu.evga.com/support/stepup/



As mentioned above; I CANNOT Step-Up.


Part Number: 03G-P4-2784-KR
Part Desc: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC w/ EVGA ACX Cooler


Seems you can step-up from everything except from these cards. Sigh.

It says:

This product is not available for Step-Up.


Oh well, doesn't matter too much anymore, decided to sell these cards probably and going for a different route/brand.

Anyone here from the UK that has stepped up a GTX 780 SC? I am looking for an approximate total cost, along with how long it took to send the card out and receive the new one.

This leaves me with 2 100-BP-2780-B9 backplates and eventually, 2 GTX 780 SC 6GB cards. What I am looking to find out is whether the 100-BP-2780-B9 backplates that fitted the EVGA GTX 780 SC 3GB (03G-P4-2784-KR) will fit the new 6GB SC 780 cards (06G-P4-3787-KR)?
 
If not, do EVGA plan to release a backplate for the new 6GB 780's? I would really prefer my cards to have them fitted! If my current ones will fit the new 6GB cards, even better.
 
Many thanks!




Yes, they fit. Physically the card is the same.


 
Aha! That is excellent news! Thank you for responding!

I have activated my Step Up but have not had to make payment or send the card back yet. I am stepping up GTX 780 SC ACX.
 
From the "My Products" section of "Member Home" I selected my card and clicked the Step Up button.
 
After entering my buy price in Euro I had to chose a card from the drop down list. There is only one 6GB 780 listed which is the base model. I then clicked the €12 shipping and went t the next page.
 
Here I was presented with the option to upgrade to the GTX 780 SC ACX 6GB (a direct 3GB to 6GB upgrade of my existing card.) This cost a further €20.
 
After this you are presented with a grand total and the option to confirm your Step Up request. My final price was €12 shipping from EVGA, €20 to get a SC version and then the difference between what I paid for my card and the EVGA listed price for the base model GTX 780 6GB listed currently at €549.90 (06G-P4-3785-KR).
 
Of course I will have to pay a courier cost to ship my card to EVGA which I haven't included as I haven't shipped back yet.
 
I hope that helps somewhat!

Thanks for the answer; this sounds like about 130-150 euro in total  (for me), which doesn't sound too bad at all.

I just received an email from the evga step-up que saying that the promotion has now started.  I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC 3GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler. SC version.
I followed instructions to get to my product and when I click on "details" it still says that my product is not available to step-up.
I also looked on the step-up list and it has been updated but I guess it still appears there is no existing upgrade with my "version" of my card to the 6GB.

Can someone from EVGA help me out here?
Since the GTX 780 SC is not on the list, as I suspected, can I just step up to the regular GTX 780 6GB and pay the difference?  Like this one:
  • EVGA GeForce GTX 780 6GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler - (06G-P4-3785-KR)
Thanks.


Once you agree to start the Step-Up with the base 6GB 780, the next page in the process will offer you the chance to upgrade to the 6GB SC version. Don't worry that it's not listed!




That's the thing I'm trying to say.  I can't even get to the next page to step-up.  It says under details that my product is not available for step-up.  
And there is nothing further I can do to proceed with this step up.  Here is a screenshot of my product detail page:

From the looks of it you didn't register it within 14 days and upload your invoice.  You need to purchase the ext war to upgrade. the warr transfer to the new card.

Thanks so much bigmac121.  I finally got the correct answer I was looking for.  Ya, I just realized I had a "3 year" warranty GPU which has to be registered within 14days of purchase.  
But with a "lifetime" warranty GPU you have 90 days to register.
It's funny because they just started the promotion I think the same month I bough my card.

Does anyone here know where I can find how much it would cost to step-up from an EVGA GTX 780 SC 3GB w/ACX cooler (03G-P4-2784-KR) to a 6GB version of regular or SC?
I want to see if it is worth stepping up because I have to pay a $30 extended warranty (because I missed th 14 day registration) in addition to the cost of stepping up.

$30 extended warranty, $40 for the 6GB upgrade, $20 extra if you want the SC version, $12 shipping. That is your cost to EVGA, add in the cost to ship your current card back to them (cost me roughly $15 for 2 day shipping to EVGA)
 
Total your looking at around $100 cost for regular, $120 for SC.

Thanks for the answer SkylerJ.
 
Whoa! That adds up to more than I thought.  I just bought my card last month for about $500.  
So in essence, if I did proceed with the 6GB SC ACX version, I would have spent a total of $620  when it cost $570 on EVGA's site.  No thank you.
I should have returned it for a refund but I just found out about the step-up program a little too late.
But even if I returned it I would've ended up paying shipping and restocking fee too.  So I would lose money doing that too. Oh well. Thanks again.
