cancelled my EVGA FTW3 pre-order. A PC retailer online has just emailed me to say they have stock of the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme's in stock so Ive jumped on it and ordered one. Will arrive tomorrow.

ive currently got a Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX980TI and its been a very very good card, so for me Gigabyte has done me well.

If that article is right, there'll be a Volta card by the end of June this year, i.e. a 3-4 month gap between the 1080 Ti and the first Volta. But remember that the first Maxwell card also came out 3 months after the 780 Ti, and it was the 750 Ti. The first Volta card wouldn't even come close to beating the GTX 1070, let alone the 1080 Ti, and it definitely wouldn't be a GTX 2080.

Thing is if sales are down they will be under pressure to release new products when available. Need to keep the share holders happy!

So could be a card in Summer!

I'd say go for it. I'm hearing on the EVGA forums that FTW3 preorders are being pushed back. US perorders are getting priority over UK/EU members? I hope this isn't true.

No they're not, just like you were charged for your EVGA pre order.

I did say I hope it's not true. Please go away. I just called EVGA myself and they said it they only have US release dates ATM. They have no date for EU members.

We all know you have a major downer for EVGA, I've spoken to EVGA today and my pre order is still set for 1st May. You cancelled yours anyway so what difference does it make?

It's my sons preorder. He hasn't cancelled yet. We can find a MSI gaming x and gigabyte aorus but he really wants FTW3. I said go for gaming x?

Cannot blame him. I'm not budging from the FTW3 even if its after May 15.

With the £ gaining a lot of strength today the long wait could work out better.

Such a shame, I really wanted the FTW3, the SC2 would suffice, or that HOF though shes a beauty.

magicoi · 26 Apr 2017 at 18:53

So, anybody hear any updates on the FTW3's??

The silence is deafening! Dont we have a rep on here?

Hasn't changed but yeah there is. 1st of May onwards but I had to find out from another shop all the dimensions of the card.

Well it happened with the 1080 cards. EVGA were shipping 50s and 100s to the States and ocuk were getting ones and twos. In fact some places in the states even had surplus stock long before ocuk got all their pre orders.

Tommy_Here · 26 Apr 2017 at 20:29

happened with the uk I give up with EVGA only bought the FE card by EVGA because it'll be easier to sell in the future

Depends. Volta "potentially" from Nvidias charts could be 50% faster than the Pascal series like for like. How fast would a 2050 be if it was 50% faster than a 1050? Probably still not fast enough to get over a 1080/ti but fast enough to realise your 1080/ti is about to plummet in value

Tommy_Here · 26 Apr 2017 at 20:37

680>980 70-100% performance jump
980>1080 70% performance jump
1080>2080 70% faster? that would make it 35% faster than 1080 Ti which would be nice

Stock market has proven you'll lose your value in that as well. Silly game to play to think get into high end cards for investment value.
