Hello The Hoorider and welcome to the Forums!
 

I am sorry it has taken so long for the Step Up process. The demand for the 10 series cards has been very high but we set aside stock for Step Up's as new shipments arrive and we are replenishing stock as quickly as possible. Depending on the model you are Stepping Up to the queue may be longer than others. We try to remain as fair as possible in this process.

My 970 still works so I'm just gonna wait it out for the 1080 SC. Been in queue since June but the EU one seems to be moving slower than the US one anyway so I'm not surprise.

I've been waiting about 3.5 months now. I'm angry and disappointed but there's not much I can do. I'm not willing to take the loss on selling my 980ti so I'm just going to wait it out. I will not use this program again. 

You will use this program AGAIN, because you afraid to loss your $$$ for selling it.

I probably won't use the step up program again due to the wait of many months.  Its not worth the money savings to wait for 4 months for an upgrade when I could have sold my GPU on eBay and bought a GTX 1080 4 months ago.

Depends on whether or not you can afford to take a $200+ hit on the 980. If so, then I get it.  Still a lot of money to waste.

I did a step up from a GTX 960.  At this point the number of months I've been waiting is worth the $50 hit I'd get for selling the GTX 960 on eBay.  I'd pay or be willing to lose $50 to have a GTX 1080 4 months sooner.  I also could have bought another brand of GTX 960 for less money and sold it on eBay for less than a $50 hit and still have a GTX 1080 sooner.  THe 4 month wait and the lack of a lifetime warranty on newer graphics cards makes me wonder why I buy EVGA graphics cards now.

Going on 5 months here to get the 1080sc......stepup from 980ti class..

I chose EVGA based on the Step Up Option but this has gotten ridiculous. Offered a 1080 SC version to expedite the step up then   wait .. wait.. wait..    and then tried to get me to step back down so I would not have to wait for the SC. This will not be a factor in my next purchase decision.

I think you may email them about downgrade to the reg version.
