Why isn't this limited to one per household till supply is higher?

Because they don't care a lot about who buys. They only care about how many are sold. Right now, the rich guys running up to quad-SLI of these cards are buying all they can as soon as it's restocked. When the hybrid coolers and backplates sell separately, these will run out quickly as well...

You can still get them right from Nvidia

now amazon says they have 19 left in-stock. all at $900!

yea that is crazy. im sometimes inpatient when it comes to some things but i sure in hell wouldn't pay that much for one.

Newegg just had some SC in stock. I'm curious. Can you step up to an 980 ti ACX SC from a 980 ti SC within the 3 month step up period?

not sure. i was wondering if you can step up a ti hybrid to a ti classified.

Don't want to buy from an American site, will take ages to get to the UK unless I express it

No, the only available step up is the ACX non-SC card, and typically you can't step up from the same GPU though they've made exceptions to this for the 970 so I suppose another exception to the norm is possible but very unlikely. If any further 980ti cards are added to step up you can find them listed here. http://www.evga.com/support/stepup/

So whose with me refreshing and watching email like a hawk to try and get in an order today again??

It's silly that they don't add all the cards to the step-up list. After all, we're paying for the difference (and shipping!) and therefore they don't lose much of profits (if there's any loss at all) by letting people pick their path on the step-up. I know that step-up is a perk and as such they don't owe us anything, so we have to be thankful for what we get, but I can see the pain of some people getting the new ACX cards only to sell them on ebay/craigslist/wherever to buy the Hybrid or other model they REALLY wanted.

I went ahead and placed a preorder for the ACX SC+ with backplate from BHVideo and overnighted it. There's also no tax.
