No. The 980 is utilizing a full fledged GM204 GPU. It cannot be re-flashed to become whatever NVIDIA is releasing.

 

Are you referring to re-flashing the 980 or replacing the 980 with a higher end card?

 

I didn't even see that you were referring to EVGA's Step Up program.

And you are quick enough to get one of the allocated step up pieces before it goes out of stock for step up and your time runs out while waiting for more to be allocated.

I believe that that is not what he means.
