Today, nVidia released a brand new graphics card chipset - the 7900 in a couple of flavors - the GT and GTX with 256 and 512 megabytes of RAM respectively. While just reading about the cards, I learned of the eVGA Step-Up program. Wherein, if you bought a graphics card from them in the past 90 days, you can trade it in for a newer graphics card and only pay the difference in price.

So, since I paid $310 for my graphics card on January 24th, I can turn it in to eVGA and they'll send me the graphics card of my choice and I just pay the difference - so since I selected the eVGA 256-P2-N565-AX Geforce 7900GT CO Superclocked 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card priced at $369, I just have to pay the $59 difference plus $10 for shipping.

It's an absolutely great deal. For just $70, I get the latest and greatest video card. And to top it off, I get a credit for what I paid. Not what my card is currently worth. I'm absolutely amazed by this awesome service. Sure, they'll resell my card and I'll be without a good graphics card for a week or so while I wait for the new one, but it's worth it.
