Why so? Most times an acx card gets thrown in

I can only repeat what the program says. I do believe the ACX's they have offered historically have been factory clocks. Not SC's or FTW's (They did once, yes I know, special circumstances). 
 
 

ya all I was hoping for was a factory clocked acx card. hopefully we see non sc versions pretty close to the time it took them with the 1080.

ya all I was hoping for was a factory clocked acx card. But if it takes as long as the acx for the 1080 took my step up will run out as I only have tell April 10th

If I was you, I would hold out until the last two days are left on your step up. At least then you have the option if it is available!
 
That said, you can always cancel the Step up and get back in as long as your 90 days has not expired.

ya that's what I will probably do. Not looking to good though as all the TBD cards are super clocked versions

I just want to step-up to a 1080 ti with an open air cooler... The reviews I've seen on the founders edition seem to have them running at 84 C, at which point they start throttling... Doesn't leave much room for overclocking, and also seem quite hot compared to my 1070 FTW thats running at around 70C max.
 
Not that I'll need overclocking with this card, but still. But with my step up running out at april 3rd, I might just have to step up to the founders card.

Mind you...that is pretty much with No MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision.  One reviewer ran an aggressive fan curve where the card started at 20% fan speed and gradually to 70% and said that the temps maintained around 70-72C full load.  At this point, until people start getting and experimenting with the cards...who knows.  But the other point made in a lot of  reviews was that the card didn't exceed the 84C, very often, if ever.  The vbios called for a 60% fan curve once the card hit a certain degree...and the 60% maintained the heat.

He said it was acceptable to 70%l, then got loud...

same feeling here I am not a fan of the blower style cooler. Just gotta hope they show up in the next 30 days

Please please, 1080 ti SC black edition on step up. Pleeeeeeeeease. :) I would be ecstatic if it were an option.

they didn't offer SC editions in step ups in the past. (only in EU for some strange reason).
so don't expect it to show up. I wish they would offer it, but I highly doubt it.

yep I would be ecstatic if I seen an open air cooler at all in step up as the whole program its self is awesome. But it doesn't mean I don't want something better than founders :)

They did use the SC for USA for a short period of time as well. It is very rare, but the sc is still a reference model card, it is just overclocked. It is always possible for them to add it, just unlikely.

There's hope.
Personally I'd rather upgrade right now rather than wait for a "IF" situation which isn't guaranteed.
Technically EVGA doesn't have to offer the SC or iCX 1080TI card for the step up.
However if they do decide to offer it then it will have a premium price, and will be released most likely on Mid-April. If you want to wait until your last day for step up go for it, but according to the step up TOS, EVGA could terminate the program (unlikely) but they could also remove some models from the step up program without notice.
I don't foresee this happening for the 1080TI, but do take note of that.

Under normal circumstances non reference video cards are NOT available for stepup.

acx coolers have been reference PCBs in the past and have been in step up. But ya I really doubt we will see the SC version in step up

I just don't want the FE cooler. Let's keep the hope for that SC going. :D

Did anyone get theirs yet? Paid $40 for "overnight" shipping and it doesn't get here till monday.

Yeah I have 32 days left for my step-up program it says. Is there a way to be alerted if it pops up or do I have to check every day at a certain time? Not sure when they update that step-up page!! =/

Just inspected everything through the step up policy but i just wanted to confirm here. So, i just bought a gtx 1080 hydro copper like 3 days before they announced the ti coming out!! Now if i do a step up on my hydro i will only get the founders correct? I been gone awhile from the market when did they start calling the base model "founders" instead of vanilla?

at the moment the founders is the only option.though we might see the SC black come later but that's a speculation if you do plan to wait(Make sure you submit your invoice and register you card before it's been over 14 days since purchase date)

Since you seem to be a water cool guy the nice thing about the founders version is ek has allready confirmed the Titan XP blocks to fit it.

Yep, im all registered ive been buying from evga for over a decade now! I learned that on my first product from them so i make sure to register asap!
 
When i looked through the step up seems to me it reads like if u step up to a better card/newer series u will only get the founders even tho i got the 1080 hydro. As in even if the 1080 ti hydro is out or any other version i would only be given the founders from how im reading it.

only reference boards get added . The 1080 in step up has an acx 3.0 card, evgas in house blower ,and Nvidia Fe . We might see the SC since it uses a reference board but it's unknown at this point.
