I put my request for step-up to a 2080Ti today 9-27-18 @ 12:19 PM
 
I was constantly checking the site for this to go live and wondering how many people beat me to the list???
 

It's been a long while since I did the step-up program, but I don't recall getting a number in line......?
 

It's the high demand for a new product. Probably after the holidays we won't see a que anymore for a step up as supply starts to meet the demand.

I sent EVGA an email because I felt like being annoying. Just asked if there was any ETA on when the queue would even start processing, no ETA as of yet. Or at least nothing they could tell me about the timeline. I got mine in within minutes of it going live so I think I should be near the front of the queue if it is FCFS basis.

I aswell have step-up reciept page showing 12:19 EST as the timestamp according to someone else in this thread it went live at 12:15 EST so we should hear something soon!

I dont believe so.
I expect around December/January or even Feb/Mar

It'll be quite a wait. The last Step-up I did was from the GTX 670 to the GTX 780. I was in the queue for four months before getting my turn. This being a much bigger launch, I expect it to be much longer.

Every time this thread bumps I get an email that has the words EVGA and 2080 in it and my heart skips a beat then I realize that it's just this thread and I have to keep waiting ...

Preorders are still not all fullfilled and cards not available in the shelves. So sure no. Some preorders are getting their card at the end of November, so I would not expect step up cards before December or January.

I just received a step 2 mail for a step-up to 2080 Ti.

As I noted previously, I completed my step-up request within 60 seconds or so of the 2080 Ti being made available.

When next generation comes out I will buy again DAY1 EVGA CARD!

Looks like some 2080ti are moving. Has anyone with a non TI 2080 step up request heard from EVGA?

Dropped mine off at FedEx yesterday, it's on the way to EVGA and should arrive on Monday, if FedEx tracking is accurate.  Bummer, was hoping it'd arrive Friday or Saturday, but them's the breaks!
 
At least I have my EVGA SC15 to hold me over until the 2080 Ti is mailed to me!  :)

So do we have to send our cards first, then they ship the new step up?

Yep, that's why I chose 2 day for return shipping

Thankfully I have a 1080 to fall back on while my step-up 1080 Ti and then 2080 Ti are in transit.

I have the choice between Intel® UHD Graphics 630 and Xbox One X when I will send my Card to EVGA. Okay, a good reason to buy Red Dead Redemption 2 :)
