Some guys ask too, probably for 2 weeks. No reason to Europe wait longer. I'm not sure is it available in USA or soon. FTW+ version have backplate installed.

Hello,
some will go online this week in our EU online Store and in the chanel they should get available next week
Will they come up for step up at the same time as they are listed on the EU online store or, as you refer, when they available in "chanel" (I wasn't aware that the the cosmetics brand was also selling computer hardware  )

I would step up instantly if someone could confirm the PCB difference questions? Im planning to watercool my card and I have to be 100% sure that there will be a compatible block for FTW+ before I step up. Also looks like Europeans are paying the bill for this SC, SCC, FTW FTW+ mess. Price is 35€ higher than FTW. In the US store the price difference is 10$.

thanks for the effort Robert, we owe you much. EVGA seems to think we were the reacher ones kisakeissi, we always pay more.

In Europe, labour, warehousing, insurance, transportation, and taxes are all much more expensive than the USA.

That would be plausible explanation if the FTW costs 389€ here in Europe but it doesnt. Anyway, Im paying what they asks no matter what. The main point of my post was the waterblock thing. If someone could confirm that there is coming waterblock for FTW+ or will the FTW compatible block fit also in FTW+ card?

i still hope the changes are so minimal on the PCB that the normal FTW cooler will fit. If this wouldnt be the case i may go with the Watercool Core or let a custom one made for the FTW+.

You can always ask EK if they are going to make a waterblock: http://www.ekwb.com/ You can also ask forum member nateman_doo if he might make one for the forum members

Even if that was true, it does not explain why FTW+ is 34€ more expensive than FTW while it the US the difference is $10. I'm sorry EVGA but I'm disappointed by this. insert Kevin Sorbo/Hercules "Disappointed" sound clip here

This is not EVGA you will see this everywhere. FTW+:389USD -> 334EUR + 19% TAX (in Germany) > 397,46 (NO CUSTOM) FTW:379USD -> 325EUR + 19% TAX > 386,76EUR - So we got our FTW ~20EUR cheaper than the US? Now we have to pay ;)

I can see your train of thought but I'm still disappointed (not necessarily of EVGA). Having an older 970 SSC I'm going to step-up to the new SSC and maybe buy the backplate when it becomes available.

Let me see, I paid 369€ for my ftw, the ftw+ is listed as 399.9€, that's a 30.9€ difference. Adding to that 12€ shipping plus 14.6€ to return the ftw, that's a grand total of 57.5€. That's a whole lot of money to have a card fixed.

I'm afraid you won't get any GhostriderC6, that's business as usual. we pay for everything, even for companies mistakes we helped to solve.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum. My Step-Up period expired today so I started a Step-Up from my FTW to the new SSC yesterday. So with the FTW+ available to costumers in Europe, does anybody know if it is possible to switch the model I'm stepping up to since i can't start a new Step-Up? Sorry if my english sounds a little bit broken, it is not my native language

Darwolia, no matter what don't cancel your step-up. you should contact EU support, they should be able to help you.

Sadly its not a card "fixed" according to EVGA it is a "new" card the original 970 FTW is still for sale
