So are those products listed on the qualify list not updated? I just got a 780ti Superclock and a 780 Superclock. Both are sealed as I was planning on building my new rig this week. Are they not eligible for this Step Up? I'm a bit confused on that matter. 
 
Are we allowed to jump from a 780ti Superclock to the 780ti 6GB version? Seems kinda odd if they don't allow that for this case since a lot of people have recently just purchased either a 780 or a 780ti. Hope we get a confirmation soon as I need to sell one of them.

It's a good thing they are releasing 6gb versions of the 780ti. The 3gb is bottlenecking my fps with 5760x1200 rez on bf4. I still average from 50-65fps (varies by map), but the memory will be very important in a couple of years. I am actually planning on "downgrading" my monitor setup to a single gaming monitor (with dual stacked monitors) due to many games not working well with surround. I'm considering the LG 34" 3440x1440, or the Asus ROG monitor with g-sync at 2560 x 1440. Otherwise, I would be all about selling my 780ti's and getting a 6gb ti version.

If people are silly enough to continue buying the repolished turds that NVidia keeps pooping out, why the heck would they release Maxwell?  I love the idea of 6gb of Vram on a Classified, but There is NO WAY I am wasting any more money on this architecture after NVidia purposefully held off so that people would buy and then have to resell..  Eff Them...  Big red, with its minor revamps and trying to impress the customer, is starting to look tempting for the next build just in hopes that NVidia will burn.

I have a GTX 780 Ti Classified. It's not listed on the eligible cards list. I bought it directly from EVGA. Is it eligible for the step-up program or not? 
I haven't seen benchmarks comparing the Titan Black vs 780 Ti Kingpin vs 6GB GTX 780. The current step-up appears to be for the non-Ti version of the 780, with 6GB as the differing feature. 


I too have 2 780Ti Classified too. Do i have to wait for the that version to come out I have 60 days until my step-up ends too.

The real short end of the stick are the loyal EVGA customers that bought Titan cards in December. We paid full price $1150 for the cards at the end of the life cycle with no discount and many retailers pulled game promotions as the cards were in short supply.  The cards are a complete dead end as they are not compatible with the titan black. Titan owners are not being offered a step up. Unlike obsolete EVGA cards that are still available 4 years later at big box stores the Titan supply was strained early December and exhausted early January. I can't even find a back plate. The reason I bought the Titan was for the 6Gb. Back in December I pointed out that 3Gb was on the way out. Some could see it coming some couldn't. I am just surprised that 6Gb has come so quickly. NVidia does not give things away so easily so that leads me to believe there is a catch in the form of shorter lifespan of 780 SLI on ultra enthusiast settings. I feel like I got triple @#$%^ by EVGA with the evbot, the nex1500 and now the titan going the way of the dodo bird all in one build. I understand that things get discontinued all the time but being a forum member it would be nice to get a heads up on the forum first. I have never seen a company run out of stock early December the way EVGA did this year.

The real short end of the stick are the loyal EVGA customers that bought Titan cards in December.  We paid full price $1150 for the cards at the end of the life cycle with no discount.  They were in such short supply in December that dealers pulled the game bundles.  It was quite obvious in December that the card was near the end of its product life cycle but what was not obvious was that EVGA had run out of stock and would no longer produce the titan.  The cards are a dead end as they are not compatible with titan black.  Titan owners are not being offered a step up.  Unlike obsolete EVGA cards that are still available 4 years later at big box stores the Titan supply was strained early December and exhausted early January.  I can't even find a back plate.  The reason I bought the Titan was for the 6Gb.  Back in December I pointed out that 3Gb was on the way out.  Some could see it coming some couldn't.  I am just surprised that 6Gb has come so quickly.  NVidia does not give things away so easily so that leads me to believe there is a catch in the form of shorter lifespan of 780 SLI on ultra enthusiast settings.  I feel like I got triple @#$%^ by EVGA with the evbot, the nex1500  and now the titan going the way of the dodo bird all in one build.  I understand that things get discontinued all the time but being a forum member it would be nice to get a heads up on the forum first.  I have never seen a company run out of stock early December the way EVGA did this year.


Couldn't agree with you more.... I didn't pay a premium on a newly released video card so it can be replaced with a better and cheaper one 2-3 months later...

Well i guess i find the price out from another site, kinda sad. 
"Standard 780 6GB planned to be $549.99."
For anyone that wants to know at the evga site.




Were you talking about this site: 
 
I'm trying to figure out if he was providing $549.99 as a reference to current model cards or saying it's the US price of the 780 SC 6GB??

Interesting. I just acquired a 780gtx classified 3gb. The communication suggests that this new card is a base version with 6gb. I wonder if there will be a 6gb classified version, or whether the extra 3gb provides more performance than the classified's extra clock speed? Is upgrading from a classified even allowed in program? I chose the classified as it was on sale for basically the price of a regular 780.

The extra clock speed I suspect is always of value, however depending on the game and resolution you are trying to drive, extra gb's may not always be used?
