It's kinda disappointing reviewers haven't been able to test overclocking etc on the custom cards. If they're gonna be arriving to people in 3-7 days surely we should have reviews by now

Fair enough but they're only useful if you're able to compare cards. Would help if they gave cards like the SC and FTW to reviewers

Personally i think its just a mess this launch .....
About 3.30PM :/ must have just missed the first batch.
Some have been tested, they are not much different to the FE cards, I have seen reviews of asus strix, MSI and an article on the galax HOF.
Its hardly a mess, in technology its pretty much how hardware is released... You show it off at tech shows and then it comes out weeks to months down the line. The only point where that seems to have become 'unacceptable' is since people like Apple decided to announce tech and say 'You can buy this tomorrow', which is a complete sales gimmick if you ask me.
Can't see why waiting a few weeks to get what you REALLY want is a bad thing personally, its a £600 GPU that you'll have for a while so worth the wait. Lets not forget this isn't a new CPU with 2 flavours, as per the title of this thread there are 21 varieties on OCUK alone... Takes time to release that.

Sorry if it's off topic or has already been mentioned but does anyone have any idea when the KFA2 reference blower cards will be in stock? It seems like I'm waiting ages for them

I ordered that on Monday and I am number 17th in the queue but no word yet in availability.
and how do you know there was some in stock ?
It seems to depend on who you ask!
I'm 8th for a FTW, from what EVGA are saying it's going to be 17th/21st.
and thats weird.. i am also 8th in the que and ordered at 2;04 pm ....

I would have pre-ordered but I to do that I expect a concrete release/arrival date. I suppose I'll just have to wait a bit longer
It was Gigabyte G1 in stock not FTW
You must have an order for a different card to the one that came into stock this morning as they would have fulfilled pre orders before listing it on the site as in stock (it was the Gigabyte G1 Gaming which came in to stock)

EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ETA now the 17th........
