    Steppin up or overclockin a video card means manually increasing the core & memory clock speeds to juice out more performance from the video card. overclockin is known 2 increase the temperatures of video card 2 unbearable limits , so be careful not 2 bring ur card 2 it's knees.Overclockin is best used 2 make unplayable games just about playable Nothing more.Nowadays card vendors have started releasing Factory Overclocked Cards.
    Beware overclockin is not for Amateurs

    I believe from what I read on the EVGA site you have 90days, and if you want to step from say and 8800gs to a 8800gt and say the 8800gs is 130$ and the gt is 150$ you send your card in or something like that and pay the 20$ diffrence adn you get the new card so you pay 20$ for an 8800gt in a sense but they get your old card. Look the link:
