Probably not. It’s possible, but step up is a promotion in itself. You aren’t being screwed over because you have the option to cancel the step up if it no longer meets your needs, and sell your card locally and buy directly.

 
Maybe he isn't screwed over, because he didn't yet send you his card. But in my case I'm waiting now for over three weeks since you have received my card in step up. Meanwhile prices of gpus are falling. And like you said I could have just sold my card and buy locally a better card for the same price at this time, but since I already paid for step up and shipment I'm screwed. I'm waiting for 3060ti while I could get now a 3070. I suspect you didn't reserve the card for me and you are waiting for shipment or something, but instead of telling me the truth your Agents are saying about german holiday delay and just asking to wait a week. After a week another week and so on, when does it end ?

Just for clarification, I don’t work for EVGA. I don’t live in the EU. I don’t have any information on your step up or your options.

If you need assistance, you would have to talk to EVGA EU, as I don’t have direct contact with them.

Hi Crimtide,
 
thanks for your detailed forums request - basically pricing for EMEA will be reviewed constantly, by requesting to the Step-Up, the current MSPR will be listed under your request page, if the products gets available, of course the MSRP will be adjusted to the current one, which is listed for the product. Checked your profile and it seems you only have closed Step-UP´s currently. Please let me know the SN on which you want to handle the upgrade and I could tell you the current pricing, pelase let us know to supporteu@evga.com
 
Thx,
 
Markus

Pretty sure Nvidia is who sets MSRP for the GPU's. Until they make an official price drop EVGA has no reason to let you double dip effectively getting two promotions simultaneously. Most articles I found are hinting that the price reduction won't be permanent so you might not even have a case other than asking for EVGA to provide you goodwill and let you double dip on promotions. I'm willing to bet you're well past the time limit to get into step up and just want to get a better card for the least money which I can understand but EVGA is still a company and unless your 3060 ti was broken and you got bad customer service its kind of unfair of you to act as they owe you a step up and a discount.

Yeah I wanted to step up to the 3090 TI, but it is still showing a price of $2100, when MSRP is now $1300.

MSRP is not $1300, MSRP is $2199. It shows that on the product page. The instant rebates of $800 is not an MSRP change, it is just a “discount” for the sale.

Step up’s are not given instant rebates and game promotions.

Until NVidia changes the actual MSRP, I doubt EVGA changes their actual MSRP.

NVidia isn’t listing MSRP. NVidia is listing outdated and irrelevant prices as you have to go to the page that has the item listed to actually see what it is listed at.

All of the micro center and Newegg listings are vastly different than what NVidia lists.

Don’t use the program. Step up should never extend beyond the 90 day shelf date of a new product. It should only be available to those that purchased a product within 90 days of a launch, and up to 90 days after a launch, and then not at all. Yet people expect a company that is for profit to cater to them. Just don’t use the program.

It shouldn’t be used, especially at this point, as a way to get a card, even during a pandemic or product shortage because that was never the point of the program.
