EDIT: EVGA will be using the
ORIGINAL prices for ICX cards obtained through the upgrade program!
http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2623597 I completed the ICX upgrade process on 2/27, before the price drop and before the official Ti announcement. At that time, the FTW2 was listed at $670 (which is what I originally paid for it from Amazon).
Now that the announcement has gone through though, the price has dropped to $570.
ICX Upgrade PageFor 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.
To me, this line seems fairly vague. Which price is the effective one?
1. The original card's invoice price (don't think so but putting this up)
2. The ICX card's MSRP at the time the upgrade was started
3. The ICX card's MSRP at the time the upgrade was completed (as in old card sent in and processed with new one sent out, since that's when it was)
4. The ICX card's MSRP at the time the card is entered into the queue to be Step Up'd
5. The ICX card's MSRP at the time the Step Up is ready and the ICX card is to be sent in.
In total, I've spent
$820 to get my hands on a FTW2. $670 for the FTW, $100 for the upgrade, and $50 to ship it in. Telling me that it's only going to be worth $570 (or less?!) at Step Up time would be a really disappointing move.
TL;DR What is my $670 card that replaced my other $670 card (at the expense of an additional $100) that now costs $570 going to be worth at Step Up time?
