Re: EVGA GTX 970 Free Backplate Promotion permalink)

That's very generous covering US as well. Nice one EVGA!



Question for EVGA : promotion is only for the 970 ACX cards. I purchased the 970SC non-ACX 04G-P4-1972-KR. doh. Will the same backplates fit the non-ACX cards? I would like to purchase one if they do... when they become available. Same for my 2 x 980SC non-ACX cards.



Also kinda wondering why the non-ACX cards are not included in the promotion, not that I'm expecting anything.

Everything at 1080p Ultra 4xMSAA or better runs at 90fps, it is absolutely AMAZING! And silent to boot! Haven't had any of the coil whine or fan noise or whatnot others have complained about. In fact, I have NEVER heard it on any card I've owned from EVGA. And I've owned quite a few...anyway good job, you didn't have to do this but it is what I would have done. I salute you.

Oh well. Will sell the videocards before that. Will also sell the backplates seperately I guess.



But, also something positive it now also includes the FTW for backplates. That's positive.



Still don't understand why it took over 2 weeks to get an answer/solution though.

Depending on the cost of the backplate itself, I am willing to pay additional postage fees to ship it to Australia.

I'm hoping for an EVGA support person to help resolve my issue.

LOL unreal. Yes, because the card is absolutely useless without the backplate, you must sell it RIGHT NOW.



You can sell the card to me bnib, I'll give you $50.



One has to wonder why the heck you purchased the card(s) in the first place.

Your purchase date was listed as 9/18 (possibly this was the case in your area), however they weren't available until 9/19 which is how the programming is. I have updated your purchase date and you can now request.

I'm in the step up programme for the 970 FTW so this is great news. Glad I went with EVGA when I bought my 770.



Thanks Rob and all the other guys and gals at EVGA.

What about the 980s? Do they already come with the back plate, or will they perhaps be for sale before long?
