ASUS begins ambitious “Trade Up” program for Nvidia Turing Graphics cards

What should I do with my old hardware? That the question we ask ourselves every time we upgrade. Should I give my old graphics card away to a friend of a family member, or try to sell it on websites like eBay or Gumtree? 

This upgrade cycle, Nvidia wants to make things easy for you, by offering a new “trade up” promotion which will enable owners of older graphics hardware to trade them in for cash back on their Turing-based GPU purchase. 

With this promotion, Nvidia plans to offer up to £270 for GPU trade-ins, with our press email stating that graphics cards can come from “ANY BRAND”. Yes, ASUS’ offer applies to trade in from competing brands like Gigabyte, MSI and EVGA.
