Hi!
 
I'm currently researching parts for a PC build in the next few months, and I'm definitely interested in the EVGA Step-up so I can build a PC a few months ahead of the new cards being released and don't have to wait so long. I'm just wondering what will happen with the currently super inflated GPU prices.
 
As an example, a GTX 1060 6GB is on the EVGA website for about 340€, and the GTX 1070 Ti that you can Step-up to is 610€, so that's a 270€ difference. The cards on the website are out of stock at the moment though, and the only other place to get them for a reasonable price in Germany is caseking.de, where they charge you about 440€ for the same card.
 
Does that mean I have to only pay 170€ for the same Step-up, or does EVGA only consider their own prices and I still have to pay the full 170€?
 
Thanks in advance!

    CALCULATING STEP-UP COSTS 
     
    Simply put, the cost of EVGA Step-Up is the difference between what you paid for your original product and the new product as listed at the EVGA Store. To calculate what you paid, follow these simple steps:
    • Add line item price
    • Do not include taxes
    • Do not include shipping
    • Subtract rebates from the line item price
    • Subtract from MSRP as listed on EVGA.

    Example

    You have purchased a graphics card for $299.99, tax was $26.25 and $10.25 in shipping, you also took advantage of a $30.00 rebate from EVGA. The product you wish to Step-Up to is listed as MSRP of $399.99.
    • Add $299.99
    • Ignore $26.25 tax and $10.25 shipping
    • Subtract $30.00 for rebate to get $269.99
    • Subtract $269.99 from $399.99
    • $130 is the cost of this example, plus return shipping and applicable taxes
    Return shipping (from EVGA back to you) is variable dependent upon your location, current rates and shipping speed you select.
    Residents of California are required to pay sales tax for Step-Up transactions.

    Hello,
     
    Yes the above is correct, the amount charged for the product minus taxes and fees on your invoice from the authorized retailer is what would be used to calculate the charge for the Step-Up product.

    What if we bought a 1080 FTW2 for the inflated cost of $830 on Amazon? Could we then Step Up to a 1080 Ti SC ($920 MSRP) for $90?

    If your purchase was sold by Amazon and you meet the other criteria for the Step-Up program, then yes.
