** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

[Clinteastman]

Just sold both of my 970s now and am down to Intel 4600 graphics!

Just been playing Hard Reset Redux on low at 720p lol

Almost nibbled on an FE today, but thought I would regret it. How long does it usually take before these cards are available to just buy?

How much did you sell them for?

 

[spadess]

It will be because you're past the 50 mark on that. Batches for the SC are expected over the weekend of the 10th reportedly

Yeah he said the 10th but an EVGA rep has told them to expect a delay to the 17th for the first batch.

Such a mess this launch unfortunately.

 

[WesleyBurns]

Yes, and it worked well as NVidia planned, the FE fiasco has created more demand than ever.

 

[studulike]

if thats the case then Nvidia migh as well only make their own cards to sell without going through any partners.

That's for the FTW cards I believe

I am going off my chat with OcUK just half an hour ago, they were going off my order number.

Strange too because just last week I was 131st in the queue.

 

[Simon Belmont]

I will say this whole 1080 release has been a bit silly. Release a product and no stock for who knows when?

 

[samba987]

I think I'm going to wait till Friday, See if OCUK get any 1080 Evga SCs in, And hope enough people cancelled so I can get one (97th a few days ago). If not. I think I'll cancel my order and wait a few more weeks.

Hopefully by than the stock shortage is sorted and maybe there's a game offer or discount if I'm lucky

 

[NirK]

Maybe it is the GDDR5X... is that why they are so slow getting stock?

By the sounds of it it's a GPU yield problem.

I'm 6th for the SC cards and if I have to wait until the 17th I'm cancelling my order. The price of these cards are only relevant for early adopters. FE edition more so. I've been on Intel hd 4600 for three weeks now. This is all a bit mad

 

[Shockwave]

Has anyone got their 1080s yet?

im 146th! feel for me! saying that i can still use my 970. But i need to put it on the bay ASAP. Everyday im loosing cash!

 

[Smffy]

For the HB bridges, we should have the 1.5 and 2 slot bridges around 20th June in the UK I would hope in time for the FTW.

This was the schedule we were working towards last week.

Nice, will keep an eye out for them to appear and get my order in.

They've kept their price well though. I sold my GALAX 970 OC for £200 and its still same used

On the bright side, maybe that means plenty of 1070 stock

 

[smogsy]

We always announce clocks before shipping.

FTW clocks should be announced tomorrow.

Ben

cool, how comes evga do not even list the classified edition yet?

 

[byron_hinson]

Hovering to buy one of these cards this week - hoping for one for friday as have the weekend off but can't decide what to get. £620 max to spend, looking doubtful I'll get any due to stocks at the moment mind you

 

[BR44TK]

The wait is very annoying and I have nearly crumbled and bought a FE, but i've seen an FTW with it's LED's going and I am now convinced it will be worth the wait.
