And when I change that into Euros the card will cost me around €1300 to get it to my house in Ireland.
Ouch
It honestly looks like I could buy direct from the US cheaper than buy from the UK inc delivery costs and import duty.
Looks like for people wanting low noise while remaining on air the Titan X is not a good option:
"We have seen some very impressive custom-design GTX 980 cards with minimal noise levels. Several cards also stop their fans completely in idle and during light gaming for the perfect noise-free experience.
Unfortunately, NVIDIA has been sloppy in their implementation of the GTX Titan X's fan settings. The card does not stop its fan in idle or light gaming. While it is very quiet while not loaded, that's not good enough for many low-noise gamers.
During full-on gaming, the Titan X is very audible as its noise output roughly matches the original GTX Titan. Here again, it is too noisy, not following the trend. Sorry, this is not 2013 anymore, and NVIDIA's own fantastic efficiency improvements brought forth this age of super-quiet high-end gaming cards with such exemplary products as the ASUS GTX 980 STRIX and MSI GTX 980 Gaming; the Titan X is not one of them. To me, it looks as though the cooler is a bit too weak to handle the heat, so NVIDIA had to turn up the fans; and since the Titan X is an NVIDIA-exclusive product board partners can not modify, I doubt we'll see quiet custom variants of it.
I also noticed some slight coil noise coming when it runs high FPS, but it's not noticeable enough to be disturbing." - Techpowerup.

Is't that because the Euro is so weak though?
You would then need to consider what would happen if it went faulty or worse still, if it was DOA. Your warranty would be in the US.

Nowhere is selling them direct yet, no one has stock
They will, only EVGA don't do pre-orders...
Two thoughts on this, firstly, thats about the same as the overclock some sites have done on the stock card, and at that speed it was putting out numbers that would bother the 295X2, will be interesting to see how much is left in the tank. Secondly as they are all reference you will be able to buy any TX and flash this BIOS, or the faster Hyrdocopper BIOS :O

I thought most review sites had gone for 1200+ Mhz base clocks?
Usually the pre-overclocked guaranteed clocks are a bit on a safe side... so there will be more headroom.
Got an extra 170+Mhz out of my 980 SC cards.

A lot of buyers over in the uk would kill to get the EVGA SC Titan X for $1030 which is about £700 here. I think you're on the right side of the exchange rate no?

New account... I think he's trolling.
If he's not trolling, then he's an idiot...
£870 + £30 (or more) postage = $1413
When he can buy it for $999

I'm really tempted to order from the USA.
I have had a couple of things come from the US to my French address, clearly marked as commercial shipments with values declared and I have not received a single bill from customs/courier/government.
