How long did it take you to get your refund or the "hold" taken off those funds? I cancelled mine on the afternoon of the 10th (Friday) and still nothing. I paid with a VISA credit card if that matters.
I'm just concerned because I've never dealt with them before. Thanks!

This thing keeps coming up for sale and going back to preorder (4-7 days shipping). FE prices for an upgraded cooler, clock speeds aren't great. I'm tempted, I wish I had some info on FTW though. Getting impatient!

The hold only lasted for a week or so on my card so it was already gone by the time I cancelled.
In Firestrike? 21k sounds like a 3DMark 11 score.
I'm about to pull the trigger on that one.. but there are better ones? Ughh wtf

My FTW preorder from EVGA changed from preordered to Open and I now I have pending charge on my card. Might finally be happening!

Damn it, I just can't get a 1080 for anything. I'm checking that 'instock' site constantly but by the time I add it to my cart it's gone again, lol.

Realistically if you want one just get it. The 2-3 frames you'll get from OC is kind of a waste imo unless you just like benchmarking most of your day.

Sigh. My preorder for the EVGA SC that originally had an expected shipping date of June 11th was first delayed to June 22nd, and now to July 6th. At this pace I'll never get the thing.
At least I've been able to chip away at my PS4 backlog.

Is that with the FireStrike demo? It seems they added a feature recently to specifically test overclock stability in the paid version
Yeah just the demo, I don't have the paid version. Good to know, maybe I'll get it during the Steam sale.

Is the HB SLI Bridge only available in the US? =/
It supposedly wont get better until late July or August.
It's ridiculous that it's like this. Have previous releases been like this?
Well they basically added a looping stress test. I guess it's kinda handy to have a whole suite of benchmark and stability testing utilities, I don't regret getting the paid version for a few bucks.
US? Or EU (plsplspls)
Yeah, I stopped by Memory Express in Richmond (BC) a couple of days ago to inquire about my 1080 FTW order, and they told me I may have to wait another month for it to arrive.
Yeah I'm hoping its like $2.50 or something during the summer sale

So what game do they use for benchmarking these days back then it was crysis.
If you're talking about the above link, please be aware that it's not the X version. It appears to be identical as far as cooling solution goes but it's not factory overclocked. I wonder how well they overclock and if it can match the X card.
For what it's worth, I have it preordered and the order status changed to packaging about 2 hours ago so it should ship soon.

Witcher 3, GTA V, Crysis 3, Shadow of Mordor, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Hitman are all popular choices.

Still waiting for any signs of life for FTW in Europe lol
Enjoy your card though and report back about temps, noise and all that!

Oh yeah Witcher 3 I can get behind that since it has uber settings etc but GTA V didn't think its a demanding game
Damn - I had to check again but I'm still in pre-order. What was your order date/time? Mine was 8:54pm on 5/27
This is starting to get much worse than usual.
Throw me into the disgruntled Amazon EVGA GTX 1080 FTW orders group
It's very demanding with the advanced settings and/or MSAA maxed out.

Mine was 11:03 am CST on 5/27
GTA 5 is arguably more demanding depending on how far you want to up the settings tbh

Given the choice, I wonder if people would prefer playing at 1080p 60fps maxed settings or 4k 60fps reduced settings. Is one generally going to look better than the other?

Welp, EVGA finally emailed me a payment change form to fill out at 4pm. I hope to god I didn't miss my preorder on my 1080 FTW.

Got a shipping notification and got real excited... it's just the new sli bridge from nvidia. So, that's definitely arriving before my actual cards even though it was ordered a week later.
Wow, ok, much more waiting to do.
Depends on what you value most in your visuals. 4k offers awesome image quality, which some people might find more important than stuff like shadow resolution, foliage distance, etc. Personally I try to find balance and would rather run a game at 1440p with tons of settings maxed out.
Redering @ 4k provides a huge image quality improvement. (4k at medium settings will look significantly better than 1080 would on ultra settings.)
Also, there's no need to lower your resolution so low. Just play at 1620p or 1440p instead.
Looking for some advice with EVGA cards. I c urrently have a 980 Ti Classified. I have about a week to step up, if I want to. The best card I can get on their stepup list is the 1080 ACX 3.0 (Can't get the FTW or SC editions).
Is it worth stepping up? I would have to buy an extended warranty (which transfers to my new card) for $30. I paid about the same for the cards, so there won't be any additional costs.
Is the 1080 ACX 3.0 much better than the Ti 980 Classified? I'm very interested in running VR and an ultrawide multimonitor setup.

Hi Team Green, any news or reviews on EVGA's Classified edition yet?

it all depends on the perceived visual hit from the settings reduction as well as the available aa modes.

Woohoo! EVGA just charged my card and I got my tracking number. I can't wait to be off integrated graphics.

The reason why I put 1080p vs 4k is that I've read that 1440p doesn't scale perfectly to 4k, so that wouldn't be ideal. Is that true? Would 1440p look better than 1080p on a 4k monitor anyway, even with scaling artifacts?
It's going to be narrowly better when both are overclocked (or both not) and use a heck of a lot less energy.

1440p on a 4K monitor is far superior to 1080p on a 4K monitor, I can assure you. These "artifacts" refer to the interpolation that takes place.

Okay, thanks for the info. This GTX 1080 card is my first foray into PC gaming beyond integrated graphics, so there's a lot I'm learning about for the first time.

I assume that's newegg raising the price, not MSI.
