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

I feel your being harsh on Ben, delays do happen and the FTW is probably one of the best 1080 on the market due to its power phase and 2x 8-pin. Manufacturer delays can happen and no one can be blamed, its a way of life.
Ben is posting on these forums keeping you all updated even out of work hours, cut him some slack guys. He knows how many OcUK has sold and will strife to get them delivered as quickly as possible.
EVGA was the first to deliver custom cards with a load of SC arriving earlier this week, they really are pushing.
The FTW is awesome card and well worth the wait, of course other brands might arrive earlier if you really feel the need to swap, but my thoughts would be stick with what you originally wanted. I waited 2 years for my Mustang, so a few weeks to me does not seem so long, chill and relax, the FTW will be here soon.
I wasn't exactly attacking Ben there, but clearly he has advised on ETA's previously and then it turns out they are miles away from what he said before, which is not good communication.
Not to mention other EVGA staff have said via twitter that the FTW is shipping in the US, how can Ben say they haven't made any yet? I don't get it.

30FPS for a while yet then! 
Thanks again for the updates Gibbo, the feedback and openness are much appreciated.
GLH shipped from Hong Kong today I think, fingers crossed for Monday/Tuesday.
Ten on the way, only one pre-sold (yours).
Excellent news! I'll stick with that then!!

I'm confused, why does the FTW STILL have an ETA of 17th June?

1080 FTW has an six power connector and more phases over the cheaper SC, guess what they will make no difference to how far you can clock the card.

The GLH is a custom board from what I can tell....

There is a link to a PDF spec sheet on that page...

no, they are going in to production next week so they are guessing it will be about another 2 weeks before any get to the UK (if they aren't even making them until next week I think it will be closer to 3-4 weeks before any get to the UK)
It also has a larger cooler though, so should be a bit quieter.1080 FTW has an six power connector and more phases over the cheaper SC, guess what they will make no difference to how far you can clock the card.

Yeah I know, Ben dropped the bomb yesterday. It's just the site is Still saying 17th!! I can't belive that no one is changing the ETA's in the system.
Just quoting to second this question. Had to change over, sucks to be at the back, but at least it's a short queue.
What place are you and when did you switch? I was holding out for the Strix, but after finding out they'd only received 10 and were possibly expecting 10 more on friday. I jumped ship.
If they are going into production next week then how come this dude has one already? http://imgur.com/1cIZz5l

We have something is wrong with our system, IT are working on fixing it for me.
Hi Gibbo, can you please update us on the ETA for the MSI Aero as this has vanished from the website. Sorry to ask again but my first post has been swamped by other replies and may of now been overlooked.
Thanks

I do not think you was being harsh towards EVGA ben ....you have every right to be a little miffed with all this miss information that is going on money taken and waiting around...
seems people are getting there evga FTW when supposedly there not in production yet so not sure what all that is about maybe he meant to say full swing production either way its is job after all Ben @ evga to take a little flak for such a poor show from EVGA.... (a little flak never hurts anyone as long as you have a good solid flak jacket on that is ) .....

Same goes for Armour.
