It's a bit of tough love Mei, if they're not told they won't learn from their mistakes...

Don't forget the cheap power regulation!!
Other brands have overtaken you eVGA, don't go the way of OCZ and rely on your brand only...
Well I for one really like my EVGA SC card. It doesn't have a backplate. But it only cost me £270. It doesn't feel cheap at all. I was surprised when I got the card that it was in a plastic box inside the case. But that box felt rather sturdy.
I would love to be able to try another card from another brand to see what the difference is (I've come along way in the past year from believing what people tell me on the Internet, even so called PC enthusiasts).
The card looks really smart. I would never have known of the bad heat sink pipe positions if I hadn't read the Internet. It doesn't really affect me anyway. Ofcourse I would love to try the newer cooler and see the difference for myself.
I would love to see some pictures of the new cooler. I did watch that video but that was the 960 wasn't it?
Just requested a step up on the EVGA site for my 970 FTW purchased from Overclockers to get it replaced with the new FTW+. Just gotta wait on response. Optimistic of a good outcome to this![]()
Hi Swagger
I will get Dom to look at your case on Monday morning when they return to the office in Germany.
The first stocks of the FTW+ are just about to arrive in our warehouse so hopefully we can sort a quick change for you.
If you run into any issues please let me know
Thanks
Ben

Step up accepted and paid![]()
Hi Ben
I will be sending it out tomorrow as I don't have time today and will be with you by Wednesday hopefully. Would I be one of those receiving a FTW+ straight away? Obviously my PC will be without a card during this time. Will post my thoughts for sure.
Generally for step ups you only get the notification to send your card in when we have a unit allocated for your name, so basically the card is then sitting here and waiting for the old card. Normally when we receive this the new card will get shipped the next working day to keep downtime as short as possible.
While we have some EVGA reps in here. I purchased my first EVGA card in years end of November 2013 from OCUK. its the SC 2.0 edition.
Now I'm reading on this board that you guys have really scrimped on your 970 edition so much so the cards heatsinks and heatpipes have issues. Such an issue they needed a re design. IE the new improved EVGA cards advertised in this very thread.
Now I had this same issue with XFX on my 8800 and the dam thing burnt out 12 months later leaving me 350 quid out of pocket.
Is this true and is this the same issue and if so what are you doing for customers who have already purchased one of your 970's ??? I take it nothing ?
knew I should have got the MSI or Gigabyte.![]()
Huh? Not had any issues with my FTW heating up or anything of the sort.. I would just like the latest one that has a backplate and redesigned cooler for improved cooling over the already very good one. Do you believe everything you read?
