i will be stepping up to a 295 within the 2 months. I am curious if the step up cost of the newer card is the current card price, or the price when you bought your card? Is there any point in waiting till the last minute to give the price a chance to drop? or will my step up price stay the same for me no matter what the current price of the 295 is?

Step price is MSRP.... this rarely changes.

EVGA uses the price that you paid for the card as credit towards the new card.

It's actually best to time your purchase about 3 months before a new revision launch.

i.e. I bought a 7800GT for $250.... 2 months later the faster 7900GT launched at like $230.

Or GTX260 196 were allowed to Step Up to Core 216 for the cost of shipping.

A GTX275 I heard is in the works...I'm holding off on my step-up for that. But it won't be comparable to a GTX295, if that's a question that comes to your mind.

I think that as long as its filed before the deadline you should be fine because it does take a while for them to process you.

Probably 500~600 dollars for the flagship and 300~400 for the lesser one. But who knows how many versions there will be of it. The rate nvidia has been going...
