Posted September 20, 2014 I don't know if someone else hasn't told you, but see if your card is available for the EVGA step up program. http://www.evga.com/support/stepup/ Can I do it if I didn't register my warranty and bought my GPU in June 27th or so. Are you new? Please read CoC Before posting!

Posted September 20, 2014 Can I do it if I didn't register my warranty and bought my GPU in June 27th or so. First of all, why wouldn't you register your warranty? :huh: Second, here's a quote from EVGA answering your question, which is on the webpage I linked you; Register your Limited Lifetime Warranty product purchased new from an authorized reseller within 90 days of your original purchase date. Register your qualifying 3 Year Warranty product purchased new from an authorized reseller within 14 days of your original purchase date. If you should happen to miss your 14 day registration window on your qualifying 3 Year Warranty product then you may also purchase an extended warranty within 90 days of your original purchase date to enable the Step-Up option. So, to clarify, if your 780 is "Limited Lifetime Warranty", then you can register within 90 days(so, right now you can still do it). But if your 780 is only a 3 year warranty and you didn't register within 14 days of the original purchase date, then you need to buy their Limited Lifetime Warranty for the card, register it, and then queue up for their Step Up program. Also; Current cutoff for products purchased is 6/21/2014 in order to submit a request today. Products purchased on or after this date may be eligible for the Step-Up program. So if you bought your 780 on June 27th(6/27/2014), then you should get your ass in gear immediately as you only have a week tops to get in queue. Finally here's the extended warranty page if you so need it: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/extended.asp If you're having trouble determining what your card's warranty is, then consult this webpage: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/ You need the exact model number and SKU of the card, not one that looks similar. The exact one you bought from whatever store back in June. If you need anymore help, I suggest posting in the Video Card section of the forum due to I myself have never had to use the Step Up program, so I can't give you my experience, but I know enough of the program to give you the information yourself. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck. Well, turns out I had bought the card on the 15th I posted a support ticket though, so hopefully they'll respond with something helpful... Oh, and if my 3 year limited warranty is going to expire in 2 days, will I be able to get an extended warranty after the 3 year limited is over? Are you new? Please read CoC Before posting!

Posted September 20, 2014 Just as I had thought... 8800GTX vs 9800GTX all over again, except more Ram this time instead of less.

Posted September 20, 2014 well I`m saving money right now to build my first proper gaming rig so I guess I`ll go with a 980 over a 780ti and save then money... or maybe spend more and get a second one... my wallet hates me so much but mastercard loves me!

From the benches i've seen for the 970 SLI it should easily beat any single core card. And considering 2 970s only cost like 100 more than a single 980 i'd go with them, except if you want to get dual 980s later anyways. hopefully we get a review on the 970 from linus soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 20, 2014 Ordered the Gigabyte from the Amazon link above, $549, shipped in 2-4 weeks, sweeeeet. I JUST got the 780Ti Asus Matrix Platinum which is a beast and pretty too, but, in my mITX with 450W, running that with a 4790K hurts. This 980 should cure those underpowered SFX PSU blues. Also, when DX12 is out, I am assuming that the 980/970 will get another big boost in performance, if DX12 is like mantle as I have previously read, except I would expect DX12 to get more traction in the next year or two of course. Your temps and noise should really improve moving from open air to blower and lowering power draw. Anandtech was pretty stoked on the 980s quiet fan curve. Don't forget to keep me posted on your m8. 2014 - EVGA 780 SC ACX | 4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 | Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB | RM650 | Be Quiet!

Don't forget to keep me posted on your m8. Will do, I am hoping that this will give me room to upgrade that G3258 to a 4790k as well without the other mods I was talking about(and with the 980 ref design I can put the 25mm fans back in too). I may have to disable HT for now, but that would be OK I think... shouldn't hurt gaming, etc., and once DX12 is out, maybe can turn it back on, I dunno. One thing I did see after reading Anandtech, I can't run Furmark on the 980 on the M8, it sucks more power than the 780Ti does (almost 300W!) when there is no inconsistent power draw to optimize.

Amd is having a press release on the 25th so I'll wait and see if that shakes anything else free of the tree of awesome. I am the one who goes bump in the night... usually making a sandwich.
