NOTE: You will be charged the Trade-In Price plus the Trade-in Credit. The Trade-in credit will be refunded upon return of your old graphics board.

ATI will provide a substantial cash credit to your purchase, when you turn-in your current graphics card.

ATI eliminates the down-time involved in online graphic card purchasing by sending you your new board in advance to install and try out. Once you're satisfied with it, return your old card for a substantial trade-in credit (Trade-in credit applied to your credit card purchase).

Don't miss out: This may be the easiest way to upgrade your graphic card available today.

First, please read the Trade-Up Program Frequently Asked Questions, which explains how the program works and covers the terms and conditions.

The ATI Trade-Up Program is subject to change or cancellation, by ATI, at any time without notice. Trade-up products and their prices are also subject to change by ATI without notice. ATI reserves the right to refuse any requests for the Trade-Up Program. Fraudulent submissions are subject to prosecution.

i dont know. Seems fishy they dont tell you how much your graphics card is worth before you trade it in. Also there are no pci graohics cards which blow for me

Upgraded my old computer from a Geforce MX420 to a Radeon 9600XT. There was a 20% off coupon too, but its gone now. Cost me $90 shipped for the card. The rebate was simple and they emailed me in less than a week about my refunded credit. Well worth it if you have a crappy card.

This is a good idea and has been around for years. The only problem is the cards are usually much cheaper in the stores or online. Even after the trade, so its always been a no go for me.

So if cards are cheaper in stores even after the discount how is this a good idea?

This program is useless since buying a card direct from ATI is a ripoff and they way under value the trade in cards that they, not too long ago, where charging $400 for.
