In the world of impatient and impulsive buyers, getting first on the market is extremely important.
Gigabyte G1 has been the first card with custom pcb to be available and many people bought it because they had no intention of waiting for other brands, in the only market where there are no release dates. Seriously imagine if Playstation 4 came out in similar fashion (I know it's different, but you get what I mean).
The question is: are they really working on them until the last minute? What stopped Galax or Asus from giving one or two cards to the top reviewers? They just didn't have one ready until now?
Let's say I liked the design of the KFA HoF and was willing to spend 650£ on it, I'll be much happier to wait if there were reviews already out, If I knew It would be worth it.
I believe higher tier cards can't start selling until the manufacturer has enough good chips to use, but they must have a few when they begin the process, why don't they push to get them reviewed?
I really don't get it, but probably don't know enough about this world, so please enlighten me
