Classified News

I think they need to offer us something, but they won't. They don't care if the cards late. Why would they give us something?

Because it may stop people canceling their orders and going with a different brand. People are saying they won't buy from Evga again.

This is my first time and it's not been great.

Yep my first time with EVGA aswell, quite disappointed to be honest.

I would have thought so. I pre-ordered an EVGA FTW 1080 yesterday to find I was 259th in the pre-order queue. Cancelled that and ordered a MSI Gaming X 1080 10 minutes afterwards and was told I am 23rd in the pre-order queue.

I did in fact order it this morning, didn't bother Customer Service asking which position i am in queue except for canceling my FTW. Anyhow, those waiting for a FTW stay strong. I've been a month without my PC now and I've been waiting to play Warhammer Total War longer.

 

[Gee]

Errr, what? Just yesterday @EVGA_JacobF tweeted that some FTW units may be shipping tomorrow.

Today @EVGA_JacobF has been suggesting that cards are being charged - traditionally done just before dispatch.

How does that tally with 'not one card has been shipped in either the US or the EU'?

Good find.

Done a bit of reading, seems that Newegg (apologies for competitor but it's relevant) got a shipment of FTW's in and sold them to US people.

One of his tweets also mentions that FTW orders are processing.

I kinda feel we're getting mixed messages here.

Hi everyone,

i can understand that lots of People cant wait to have their new card in hands, but please understand the following situation:

I can 100% confirm that not a single card has been shipped into channel partners in Europe. We are expecting product to arrive to Europe in 10-14 days. Upon receipt we always allocate some stock to our EVGA Shop and to step-up, however we also need to support our channel partners right across Europe. So FTW will appear at EVGA Shop and selected (allocated) channel partners across Europe at the same time.

Thanks for your understanding and best Regards

Jan

Ordered a KFA2 1080 HOF as a backup for my 1080 FTW order and I'm going to keep the first one that dispatches.

My 560ti is dying and needs replacing asap.

 

[easyrider]

Just imagine if you could buy the cards bare without the cooler...in a brown box...just in a anti static bag...

No frills 1080

I think some need to see that' its not all OC's fault there getting card's in drips better to blame nvidia you can check other retailers they are all having the same trouble plus there seems to be super demand as well
I'm not that worried my self if it comes in the next two weeks I'll be happy

He lied. All cards are going to america first. UK is last they just don't want to tell you that.

Get it in drips > change the ETA to accomodate

 

[TangoEchoAlpha]

LOL. I know that I could have sold my 980Tis sooner and possibly made a few extra quid that way, but I would hate to be running using on board graphics, waiting for the pre-orders to arrive.

Glad I cancelled my FTW order now.

 

[tyler_jrb]

Glad I'm not waiting. This is beyond wow. 1-2 months for stock? EVGA will loose a lot of sales because of this.

 

[studulike]

be patient . middle of July all the cards should be easier to get hold of by then.

 

[Simon Belmont]

My last EVGA card. Thanking about going reference with another brand. Avoiding EVGA

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Why are people surprised about the FTW cards it was always gonna be 1st July

they got a shipment of SC not FTW AS FTW IS NOT EVEN BEING MADE YET.

I'd be tempted to just go with the SC. quieter and cooler than ref. Overclocks just as well.

 

[Drollic]

I'm going to be waiting into August at this rate

 

[smogsy]

this, 17th was best case.

however they should just say we should get them by the 1st july, not 17th then + 14 days
