Thanks ;)

Still say's "Stay Tuned" for my 1080 Classified with 1 day left. "OMG, OMG, OMG".  "Hyperventilating". Breathe, Xray breathe.        
 
 
 
                                                                                

I know how you feel.  When I asked about the Classified cards, I got the answer; "Please, be patient. If evga is going to do an upgrade for them, it will be separate more than likely. Have patience."

I've been in que for 18 days now so don't feel bad.. Signed up within an hour of the notification.. Getting kind of ridiculous now

Again...I think it has to do with available supply for each model that fits the requirement. 
 
GTX 1080 FTW
GTX 1080 SC
GTX 1080 Gaming
 
GTX 1070 FTW
GTX 1070 SC
GTX 1070 Gaming
 
I imagine that the demand for some of the models is much higher than the others.  Having gone through step up before, I can tell you that they WILL get to you as fast as possible.  It is hard playing the waiting game...but well worth the time.

Mine is actually a 1070 ftw dt.. The aggravating part is evga told me they have not even produced/ have any of these yet.. I understand the demand as the other cards they have made but why offer something that hasn't been made yet?

For those wondering about stepping up to a 1080 Ti, Nvidia's about to start their GTX Gaming Celebration Livestream (10PM EST, but it hasn't started yet as of 10:14) where they're expected to announce the 1080 Ti.  I wonder if it's coincidental that the ICX upgrade program ends today, too.  Unfounded guesses aside, I appreciate having the chance to step up if it does release soon.
 
Update: YouTube stream is a mess, but Twitch is working smoothly.

So what value is a $99 upgraded to 1080 icx going to have for step up to 1080ti?

We'll see, but beats not being able to step up at all.  Also, the first thing announced on the  GTX Gaming Celebration Livestream tonight was Nvidia has immediately dropped the base price of the standard 1080 cards by $100 to $499 MSRP.

Ahh, apparently its the msrp of the card at the time of shipping. So people who already got them may get 1080ti step ups super super cheap.

Assuming the 1080 Ti isn't obscenely expensive.  Nvidia's already claiming it's 35% faster than the standard 1080 and faster than Titan X running at stock.  I'm perfectly content with my ICX FTW2, but if the step up is within an affordable price, whenever it happens, it's enough of a performance difference for me to consider the jump.
 
UPDATE: Price just announced.  1080 Ti is $699!  Comes out next week!

$699 holy vulgar language removed yea, People who did icx step up should be able to step up for like $50

Yep!  Now just have to wait for EVGA to list their options.  I suspect the lower-than-expected price is to counter AMD's Vega announcement.  Looks like a 1080 Ti thread will be in order soon.  Had i known it'd be this soon to release, I'd have likely left the FTW2 unopened, but I'm not about to complain at all about enjoying it for as long as I have it!

Editing your post and everyone that quoted you. Vulgar languagr is not allowed and the forum software hiding it does not make it ok. Please keep it clean.

Sorry

I may sound a bit cynical, but is that $699 the Nvidia price? Until we see the EVGA price..., and availability, of the EVGA 1080TI's, I may be out of luck again.

That was the Nvidia-stated price for what must be the base model.  I bought my FTW back in August, so I didn't mind paying the upgrade price to ICX this far into my ownership.  Even if the Ti wasn't due to come out for ages, I'd have been thrilled with the ICX.  This is just icing on the cake.

For the ACX->ICX upgrade program, it says:
 
•EVGA iCX cards received through the iCX Upgrade program are eligible for the EVGA Step-Up program for 90-days from the date the iCX Upgrade product is shipped to you. For EVGA Step-Up purposes, the value of the iCX Upgrade will be based on the MSRP value of the respective iCX graphics card listed on EVGA.com.
 
It doesn't specify when the MSRP value of the card listed on EVGA.com is calculated, though.
 
1. Is it when you signed up for the ACX -> ICX program?
2. Is it when your ICX has been shipped to you?
3. Or when your 1080Ti is available to step up to?
 
Depending on which one it is of those 3, for example, to go through the base 1080 ACX (price you paid doesn't matter) - > EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING iCX (currently $639 MSRP) -> base EVGA 1080Ti ($699 I'm assuming) step-up path, you will have to pay a minimum of:
 
1. All pay $159 and up
2. People that already received ACX -> ICX upgrades pay $159 and up, people that receive them as of tomorrow (or whenever the GTX 1080 GAMING iCX drops to $539 on the site)  pay $259 and up
3. All pay $259 and up
 
 My guess is it will be number 3, since the iCX card I will be receiving (the GTX 1080 FTW2 DT iCX) doesn't even have an MSRP listed on the site yet. Many other cards in the iCX upgrade program still don't have prices listed on EVGA.com
 
Might as well sell your GTX 1080 ACX now and just buy a GTX 1080Ti if it will take you a minimum of $259 to step up to one at the same grade...

But isn't step up NORMALLY based on what YOU paid?
 
Meaning for this to be fair, EVGA needs to honor the MSRP at time of shipment for your iCX cards...
 
That's how I see it, at least.  Of course, that's mainly because I want a $50 step up and not a $150 step up lol, but it seems wrong to change how the entire process works just for those who already paid $100 to upgrade

well you got in, now you just wait until you are told to pay.
 
It's not like you'll lose your spot in line

Second bullet point from the bottom. 
 

 
If you did the ACX to ICX upgrade...your card's value will be based on MSRP as listed on the EVGA website
