Gibbo or anybody please.

Apart from the FE cards, which AIB card would I get the earliest that I can get a waterblock for please?

If you want a custom PCB and a card soonish, your best bet would more than likely be either the Gigabyte G1 Gaming or the MSI Gaming X. They seem to be getting to grips with the backlog of pre-orders.

From what I can see, EKWB aside from the FE do custom blocks for the Strix, Gigabyte G1, MSI GX and two models for EVGA FTW/Classy. At the moment, the strix is delayed till July and the two models for the EVGA are also delayed. Not sure about other waterblock manufacturers.

As far as I'm aware and correct me if I'm wrong, there isn't a waterblock currently for the Inno3d models? An they've all been delayed till either the 24th or the 30th?

Sweet I'm 8th in the queue for a GLH! Hoping for today as I've been without a card for months! I was holding out for the FTW but glad I jumped now. :D
 
Let's try to keep this GLH to us until we all get one. :o

This gen is a great opportunity for lesser known brands to build a new customer base (Inno seems just as strong but there are delays like with the others).

Right, I've cancelled my FTWs and now I'm stuck between the G1, Gaming X and the GLH... Which do we think will come soonest/is the most well supplied? They all look like brilliant cards.

G1 is available elsewhere so I think it'll get to OCUK soon enough, don't know how many GLH will be supplied though, as many people are switching over to that card.
 
Gibbo roughly what date would I receive my card if I was to order the MSI gaming X card? Cheers EVGA really don't deserve our money when we're being treated like this vs US customers and the fact we're paying MORE! Thank you Gibbo :)
 
Especially this gen - I get EVGA RMA is awesome and people wanted to stick with it - all cards are so close in terms of temps/noise/performance, that the first AIB to be available will always sell out quickly.
 
About to purchase the G1, specs show it has a lower memory clock compared to others. I suppose it wouldn't be hard to OC this back up right?

EDIT: I'm getting cold feet. £640 is a lot to purchase on a whim without fully knowing how the G1 compares to other AIBs.

I was intent on staying the course and waiting for the ftw but with being 107 in the queue, none even manufactured yet for UK/EU, and only 40 - 50 in first batch with no idea when second will arrive.... I bailed and took a risk on the GLH.
OCUK said they received 5 today. 35 more on back order, which they hope will be in Monday. Fingers crossed that I'll get a card next week and whatever the relative performance of the GLH versus the FTW, it will be a huge leap from my 7950 (which sometimes also works on xfire with my other 7950).

In stock, memory clock has little impact, buy quick as custom cards in stock are a rare thing. :D
