Does an open box card from microcenter qualify for step up? It says original manufacturer warranty applies and the item is complete

    At this point Not too worried when I get the card just want to get one. No guarantee with the way the 3080s are that any will be available. What's the lowest model # I can buy and still get into step up queue? a 1650, or does it need to be a 20 series?

    As long as it's a new card from a certified seller of EVGA cards, https://www.evga.com/Products/WhereToBuy.aspx , it doesn't matter what card it is.

    Any card applies to step up, as long as it is brand new and purchased from an authorized retailer or e-tailer.

    There is no minimum. Go buy a gtx710 from Best Buy, and it still counts, as long as it is brand new.

    So it doesn't have to be a recent gen to jump up to the 3080 eventually?
