EVGA has just announced that European customers, who purchase an EVGA-branded graphics card or motherboard between October 16 and December 21st will be able to participate in its Step-Up Program within a 180-day period (that's double the standard time frame). The Step-Up Program allows people to trade-in their EVGA card or board and upgrade to a greater performance model.

To beef up this promotion even more, EVGA has decided that people who get a card/board until December 21st won't need to purchase an Extended Warranty to quality for the Step-Up Program (the extended warranty is a requirement for the standard 90-day Step-Up Program)."Our Step-Up Program is one of the many benefits available to end users when they join the EVGA community," said Lee Rossiter, European Sales Director, EVGA. "The Step-Up Program protects the investment an end user makes in an EVGA product, and gives them the opportunity to upgrade to a higher performance EVGA graphics card or motherboard. This promotion enables our end users to have the flexibility to 'trade up' through pretty much the first half of 2013."
