first of all can i do it .. can i exchange my less than 90 day old GTX1080ti SC Black edition . was bought from amazon not from EVGA EU store . but as i have not registered the GPU yet i would need to purchase the extended warranty first from 3 years to 5 years to qualify ..
 
IS this the case or is it only for products bought from EVGA EU ?

i just upgraded my warranty and will be requesting a refund .. there is no step up for my GPU as my card is the highest i can step up from as all im getting is i can only choose a reference design card . what is that .. why cant i upgrade to a Hydro version of my card ?
 
what a waste of space this is ..will now buy else where as i feel robbed !!

Step up is a joke and will let others know it is on forums in the UK ..(6 forums) and facebook .
 
I upgraded my warranty as i was outside the 14 day window so upgraded to the 5 years and then was able to use the step up ..hahaha what ever ..the highest card i can choose which is actually a lot more than what i paid from amazon uk is the same card i already have ..The GTX 1080ti SC black and it states i can  only choose a ref card .. it goes from the 1080ti the only 1080ti and then goes down to a 1060 ..haha what a joke this is  ..
 
so in theory EVGA want more money for the same card i already have ..Pure Thieves !!!!
 
oh and i wanted the basic Hydro version to my card as its the same card with waterblock 11G-P4-6399-K
 
 

well if i already have the card that is the highest on the step up program why even put the option on the product on my owned products ..i mean if i have the highest card then why even give me the option to step up ? there shouldn't be any step up button .

If a volta reference card released in the next 90 days, and was added to the step-up list you could step-up to it.
