EVGA GeForce GTX 900/700 Series Upgrade Program FAQEVGA GeForce GTX 900/700 Series Upgrade Program FAQ
The EVGA GeForce GTX 900/700 Series Upgrade (“900/700 Series Upgrade”) Program is an optional program that allows owners of qualifying EVGA GeForce GTX 900 and GTX 700 Series graphics cards (“Qualifying Products”) to upgrade to a select EVGA GeForce RTX 20-Series Graphics Card (“Upgrade Product”) at a reduced price.
IS THIS LIKE THE EVGA STEP-UP PROGRAM?
Yes and no. The purpose of the 900/700 Series Upgrade Program is to allow you to purchase that EVGA GeForce RTX 20-Series graphics card you’ve been looking at while getting a discount when you send in your old EVGA GeForce GTX 900/700 Series graphics card. Unlike the EVGA Step-Up Program, you will receive a set dollar amount (USD) off the purchase price of your chosen card. Otherwise, you must still send in your qualifying graphics card to EVGA first.
WHAT OTHER BENEFITS WILL I RECEIVE?
The EVGA 900/700 Series Upgrade Program also has other great benefits:
- Upgrade Products received through this promotion are eligible for the EVGA Extended Warranty program for 90-days from the date the 20-Series product is shipped to you.
- Purchasing an EVGA GeForce RTX 20-Series graphics card through this program will allow you to become an EVGA ELITE Member.
DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS UPGRADE PROGRAM?
The GeForce 900/700 Series Upgrade Program does not have an additional fee to participate in this optional program. To be clear, you must still purchase your chosen EVGA RTX 20-Series graphics card – less the discount received by sending in your qualifying EVGA GeForce GTX 900/700 Series graphics card – and cover taxes (if any) and shipping (depending on your choice of shipping).
WHAT PRODUCTS QUALIFY FOR THE GEFORCE 900/700 SERIES UPGRADE PROGRAM AND WHAT PRODUCTS WILL I RECEIVE?
Select EVGA GeForce GTX 900 and GTX 700 Series graphics cards are eligible for the 900/700 Series Upgrade Program. You may upgrade a Qualifying Product to any available EVGA GeForce RTX 2080, RTX 2070, or RTX 2060 graphics card. Please see the chart above to see a list of the eligible Qualifying Products, the discount for each Qualifying Product, and the eligible list of Upgrade Products.
