Yeah a little bit. It has the reference clocks, but can be OC. I can see why most are waiting for the OC model.

Well maybe the reason its not an OC model is because ASUS found it didn't OC to the level required level to be a OC version so its just the standard one. If they can't OC it reliably maybe the user won't be able to either.

Agree I wont pay the extra £70 . Not worth it.

Nope. It's a shame though considering it's the first time I've given EVGA a go. I'd heard amazing things and was convinced to jump ship from MSI.

I just keep having to remind myself that it's only effectively costing me £400 due to shenanigans so it's worth the wait.
 
I'd have jumped onto the Gaming X today but it costs £20 more than my pre order price of £659.99 which in Euro was 844 at the time and the price in Euro today for the gaming x is €812 euro! So I have to pay more for something that costs less!

For those of you waiting for Inno3D X3, I have some bad news.
They only received 5 units of X3, so it's likely that if you don't have dispatch confirmation yet, you won't get it. I ordered of 1 of June and I was 11th in queue on Wednesday.
 
Literally is a battle of the pre orders atm.

Have a strix top end on pre order with a competitor at £597.
A evga ftw on pre order with competitor at £580 and one with ocuk at £608.

Whoever gets it out to me first is the winner :).

Or you get both, shipped on the same day and you can SLI then :D

Actually thinking about it if my ftw and strix come from the competitor anytime soon I'll members market them and make myself a tidy little profit.
That'll be ideal if ocuk get mine out next week and the others arrive soon after :).
 
What is this with the FTW DT and the FTW normal (OC) edition? I am guessing everyone who pre ordered is getting the FTW OC edition? Are the FTW OC now binned chips and the FTW DT are not?
 
The price of the standard strix is a joke, its boost clock is lower then its OC'd brothers base clock and that's only 16 quid dearer. Both are overpriced.

They're both "binned" as such, but the chips in the lower-priced model are the ones that failed the process and weren't stable enough to run the FTW's factory overclock. Hence they're being repurposed into a cheaper model at stock clocks. You'll get the OC model if that's what you ordered of course.
