Well the queues might not be very long for the scary clown card
I'd rather take my PC out back and shoot it than subject it to such humiliation.

I've never cared for overlooking anything so I just got the FTW and will live with that, whatever the performance there might be.

I heard the EVGA customs will be shipping out between June 1st and 14th. ASUS STRIX is due on June 4th. Seems like the vendors who have announced dates are on track.
Strix June 4:th has only ever been posted on the blog. Nothing else official iirc. Local retailer has 9th of June as date, another retailer 18:th.
Has there been any other info?
Gibbo at OcUK said there are shipping delays and ASUS/EVGA won't be shipping cards to stores until the weekend.

So next week? That's not so bad.
Seems all custom partner cards are pushed back a week

Yes. I'm waiting for people to get their hands on some of the fancier cards just to confirm it all, but if it turns out this way, I'll definitely save myself the $$$ since I'll be putting the card into a custom loop. For most people, though, there are good reasons to look at the custom cards just to get the better/quieter coolers. Plus, something like the Classy or the Strix will give them a hefty OC out of the box with acceptable noise levels.

And EVGA should be shipping a little ahead of Mid June
Uh, I certainly hope this doesn't mean 24th or later for the 1080 FTW...
dat silky buttery smooth launch doe
Supposedly globally - they are just communicating it as they were talking with suppliers at computex
Knew the Strix wouldnt be available on the 4th. Who knows if it'll even be available next week.
Fuuuuuuuuck sake.
I sniped a FE card last night but my heart wanted the FTW, I'm 3rd in the queue with Aria.co.uk so didn't want to give it up.
Any reason to believe the clocks on the FTW card would be above the SC? Or is the price difference just for the custom PCB + waterblock capabilities?

Hope that means it's coming to the US site soon...
They will have to be as it's the gimmick on the card besides the custom PCB and RGB lighting.
Currently I don't think so. Just watched a video of gamers nexus trying to overclock an MSI 1080Z and getting almost nowhere (it was live on the floor at computex but still). Maybe it's a voltage limitation causing instability at high clocks, but there must be a reason nvidia is locking it down. If we don't see custom bios stuff unlocking voltage soon I'm not sure we'll get 970/980ti levels of OC on pascal..
To be honest I'm happy with a quieter card, OC'ed for me and with good customer services.
So has anyone preordered a Gigabyte G1 Gaming? With all this talk of voltage limits I'm now thinking a single 8-pin connector might be adequate after all. Price on Amazon is looking attractive.
Edit: sod it, I just have. Now I can get on with my life without thinking about graphics cards...
Edit 2: And now cancelled, will wait for reviews

the obsessing over GPUs carries on
Looks like I'm out of the 1080 rat race
Managed to snag a 980 ti from this sale.
Damn, what a steal.

How much are you guys pre-ordering these things for in the US? I can only even find 2 non-founders edition cards in Canada, both EVGA, the FTW and the SC. The FTW is $885 (~$677 USD,) and the SC is $855 (~$654 USD.)
I like the thought of being nice. I'm actually pretty sure this isn't the place to do this and I'm supposed to go to the B/S/T thread but anyone just PM me and I'll change the shipping address (to USA) and sell it at cost.
I paid $679 for the EVGA FTW, so those prices are right (at least based on exchange rate).

When will these ship?
OcUK quoted me 10th for the inno3D.
You cant preorder the Strix anywhere atm...Unless this changed recently?

UK posted some already.
That means this is going to pop up on the US site in the middle of the day and I'm gonna miss out

It went up on the UK Amazon page. I'm F5'ing the US Amazon hoping it's imminent.
I'm stuck waiting for Newegg, no one wants to pay tax. I think the other GPUs you needed a direct link to purchase.

I was just checking the dimensions and comparing it to my current GTX 780 FTW; they are exactly the same.

Probably not but consistency and time wasting in my side name. That's how I scored a 20th anniversary PS4.

Kind of disappointing that there's no free game for the 1080 :/
Agreed. Doom would have been a perfect incentive.

I'd even be happy with Stardew Valley. Just something free!

$100 extra for FE and no game; early adopters sure do get a good deal.

That is just the thing... The people that are going to buy up all the stock don't need any incentives.
I can see a free game in the fall. Depending on the vendor, you may get a free game from them during that time. I remember getting a nvidia promo game 3-4 months after the purchase of my 970 at launch.
