Have you received your new "step-up" eVGA video card?

If yes, are you happy you went through the process? Or, if you had to do it all over again, would you have kept your old card?

Same here, first will arrive on Tuesday. I'm going to send my second one out Tuesday morning Fedex 2-day probably because my 14-day window is quickly coming to a close.

I sent out my card the same day that it was approved.

eVGA receives my card on Monday, should be a 1-2 day turnaround to process and I should get it on the following Monday the 3rd.

I think its a well designed program. And a free upgrade to the latest 90nm NV tech and gaining 4 extra pipes for free is nice. For $5, I had to do it.
If I ever overclock, having a full 24pipe card will be nice.

Same story here.

Last week:
Tuesday: step up approved, old card sent
Thursday: Evga recieved my card
Friday: New card has been put in the mail

My new card should be delivered on tuesday. When from a 7800GT to a 7900GT CO OC Superclock.

VERY HAPPY. (now I have to try to fit my NV Silencer on it ...)

How much did that cost you? Is the offer still available?

My card is already here in Austin (according to UPS) so I'm hopeful UPS will delivery it early on Monday rather than wait until Tuesday to deliver . . .

I'd say it was worth it. Just $40 (including all shipping costs) to upgrade to a card that can perform significantly better than my 7800GT . . . and a turn-over period of roughly a week is no biggie . . .

Ive heard about this. Ive been looking for a new card. I have a EVGA 6600GT. Could I "step up" to a 7600GT or higher?

If you are within the 90 day period . . . then yes . . .

The eVGA step up is available for 90 days after you puchased your eVGA video card. Look it up on their website. (FYI you must have bought an eVGA product of course)

It cost me about $40 plus shipping back.

It depends what card(s) you're stepping up. Mine is gtx SC and I will be in for a long wait. Approved almost two weeks ago with queue #269 and just checked yesterday, it has improved to #252. Obviously, I'm very much p*ssed.

I got my 7900 GT OC Superclock shipped the day after they got my card.

Remember, no other manuafacturer would even think of letting you do this.
