Default Quite the problem.
I JUST bought a 3870 for 164$ yesterday off newegg, and today i get a email from evga that my stepup has been approved for the 8800GTS from the 7600gt i have in my sig.

I can pay $170 for the 8800gts and send in my 7600gt and they will send it out.

**** what do i do?

Why did you buy a card while waiting for your stepup? o_o

Sell your radeon or keep it as a backup card or something (Like if you plan on overclocking your 8800GTS and it breaks somehow)

Btw is this the new GTS or the old one?

just going to let the deal pass i still have 2 months to do a step up if i choose not worth it right now as 2x 3870 crossfired will be about the same. Also alot cheaper since i have a xfire mobo.
