If I was to buy a 780 6gb now, would I be able to do a step-up if the 800 series ends up being availible?
 
 

I'm sorry but we can only talk about items currently available on the EVGA website. 

But the step-up program is still ongoing for the 6gb.
 
So If I was to buy a 580 back in the day, and the step up program was ongoing.. 60 days later, the 680 came out, that would cover? Just trying to figure out how this whole step-up program works, or if it's only within a specific product line.

Not exactly what it does is your 580 would cover the dollar amount of what ever you paid for it minus the tax on purchasing a 680 within the 90 day period of getting your 580. example= 580/$600  - 680/$700 = you pay $100 plus tax and shipping
 
note: that its only available to qualified products with the 90 step-up stamped on the box.

How does the EVGA Step-Up process work?There are several steps to the Step-Up program.  Because we require that you send your original product to EVGA first, we have instituted a process that makes sure you have the least amount of downtime possible.  Once you have gotten through the queue, approval and payment phases, you can send your product in to EVGA and once we receive it we will turn it around as quickly as possible.  Shipping both directions will be your responsibility.

Stepping through the Step-Up

1. Register your valid product within 90 days from your original purchase
   1. If your qualifying product has a 3 year warranty purchased on or after 3/1/2013 and registered within 14 days of the invoice date by the original owner from an authorized reseller, then you will receive the option to step-up for the first 90 days of ownership.
   2. If your qualifying product has a 3 year warranty purchased on or after 1/1/11 and registered after 14 days of the original purchase date you must also purchase an extended warranty in order to be qualified for the step-up program.
2. Upload a copy of your invoice
3. Request to start your Step-Up within 90 days of your original purchase from your product detail page
   1. Navigate to My Products 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
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
6. You will have 7 days to pay for the difference between the two products, plus return shipping and applicable taxes, after you have been approved
7. You will be instructed to send your product in and you will have 14 business days to do so after your payment is verified
8. When EVGA receives your product, we will return your new in box upgrade
9. EVGA will automatically register your product so you will receive the full warranty on your Step-Up (as of 1/1/11)
   • Any product auto-registered will have its Extended Warranty transferred automatically.
10. You will receive your product shipped via the shipping option you chose and paid for - game on!

You will receive detailed emails at every step to instruct what must be done to continue.  All Step-Up requests must go through this exact process, you may not purchase the new product and send your original product back for a refund afterward.

Is EVGA bringing out their gtx 970 & 980 this month? Gigabyte and Asus are realeasing theirs. I only buy EVGA cards so im curious as to why we havent heard anyhting from evga....hope they dont plan on falling behind which would be strange for supposedly being one of Nvidia's main partners.
