I've ask this question many times and it's fallen on deaf ear. I think the reason because not even they know.
Tempted to switch from the FTW to a Palit card, must resist...
They may not wish to publicly disclose how many with many competing retailers wanting to get their hands on them too.
I was initially going for the FTW, but given that most reach the same speeds and early reviews on the Palit suggest it was as quiet/quieter than the EVGA I thought it was worth a punt. I can give you some first impressions tomorrow when mine is here
From Jacob on EVGA forums.
Just release already.
totally numb at this whole thing. Getting tired of waiting. Very angry as well. I wont forget what happened here. It's really made me look at this hobby differently. meh
I ended up reordering my FTW from the jungle because I got a large student discount that probably means they are making a loss on the card. Just hope there are enough going to retailers next week that they can satisfy preorders, will suck if we are waiting till august or later for enough stock
August no I will not wait that long.
Waiting all this time has been too long. I will never pre-order another GPU as long as I live. This release has ruined every pre-order ever.
Plenty of cards in stock, just switch buddy as the custom cards seem to do little to nothing for OC ability as lower nm process does not benefit from voltage or power phase unless on extreme LN2 cooling.
Custom cards this time are all about coolers and aesthetics as lower nm process and GPU Boost 3.0 loves low temperatures, this is why Gainward, Palit and Inno3D are so strong this round as their coolers are better. Also AIO and waterblocks are great for Pascal as then they boost in the 2.1-2.2GHz region.
It's all about aesthetics ,cooler and noise with me. EVGA FTW or Classified fit this. Asus Strix 2nd and MSI gaming X 3rd (Wish Gaming Z came out first?) These are the only cards I would be willing to buy. EVGA FTW shouldn't be long now, but it was the waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and WAITING! It feels like it's never going to come to a end.
FTW is gorgeous, hang in the there I am sure Ben will make sure OcUK customers get their cards considering we were first to list the product!
