EVGA FTW3 Preorders

Is there any plans to open preorders on the 3080 FTW3 cards? I assume there's a reason why the EVGA cards aren't open to preorders. Need to get in a queue at some point

I would imagine it's because EVGA aren't forthcoming with details about when they'll supply EU retailers. Additionally, their "thousands of units" they're shipping this week would seem to be going exclusively to US retailers.
 
Well since EVGA seem to have forgotten that the UK exist and since even Gibbo can;t find out when they intend to ever deliver any to the UK, I think its only fair that he keeps pre orders closed.

You wouldnt be happy placing a pre order on an expensive ftw3 card and having the money taken but then not getting your card until January/February?

I'm late to the game anyway so even if I go for a cheaper card, probably won't see it till December or next year anyway. I figure the queue would be smaller on a card which hasn't been open to preorders all this time. I don't know

For clarity they were open for pre-orders on the 17th, so there are at least some people already in the queue for them.

Estimates from the spreadsheet that has been put together however do suggests the numbers for the FTWs are in the <100 range, but if when EVGA finally starts talking to/shipping to the UK they trickle them in then it could still be a very long wait.

--------------------------------------------------------
                      17th 18th 19th
EVGA FTW3 Gaming      73   0    0
EVGA FTW3 Ultra       73   0    0
EVGA XC3 Black Gaming 724  16   0
EVGA XC3 Gaming       138  8    0
EVGA XC3 Ultra        211  0    0


I do wonder how many of the XC3 Black orders realise it has no-backplate and might be really at risk of sagging.
 
Nice to see those figures thank you. I've tried to get a response from Jacob on his twitter about what's happening with the UK. So far, no response and he's usually quite active to questions. I've always been happy with evga but I'm thinking of changing my brand of choice as they don't seem interested in the UK now
