Off Topic / EVGA Step-Up
« on: March 05, 2009, 11:47:59 PM »
Okay, so everyone knows how awesome EVGA is when it comes to warranty and support. They have this little neat thing you can do with their cards, called Step-Up. You basically send them your old card and they give you a new one, and if you like it, you pay the difference (old one subtact new one equals price you pay) according to reviews of it.
I'm deciding to step up from this, to this. Same thing, the new one has 1GB VRAM though, for only an extra $20. Luckily I have a spare $20, in case I do like it and it works.
To get it, though, you have to send in your old card, which would render gaming on my current machine useless if I'm waiting for it, which is why I kept my old 8600GT.
Yes, I looked at both of them. They are literally exactly the same, just different heatsink art and an extra 512MB.
I ask you guys, should I do it?
tl;dr: alt f4.
