Gosh where can I actually buy that card? I can't find it anywhere for the same price as on the EVGA website... what on Earth is that massive demand?

Newegg had them for sale (with a free Torq x10 mouse) for like 6 hours this past Friday. It was $389.99. Your best bet is going to be checking daily and hope you get lucky. Hot commodity these days!

I managed to get one by listening to Jacob and being on the auto-notify list. Helps if you have all your billing/shipping info entered in ahead of time, too. Good luck!

Ok then I will look for it daily. Hope i get one. matthewdg1973 What about for the step-up peeps? I'm still showing pending on my status page.
Do you mean 8GB step up? I was gonna use that too, but I bet there won't be an 8GB version of the FTW card, maybe just another SC or SSC one...

No, I was talking about the 4GB version. I don't mind the wait. Not a huge deal to me. I was just wondering a round-a-bout time they would be available is all.

I put my phone away for dinner, rookie mistake. Anytime within the backplate promotion and I'll be a happy camper though.

I was in the step up queue for the 970 FTW and I got my email last thursday, so depending on when you initiated the stepup it could be quite soon.

I convinced myself I was crazy for a few minutes, then remembered I had the page cached on my desktop and checked the price there. Demand>Supply I suppose.. I'm just tired of jumping out of my chair every time I get an email, and somehow I still miss EVGA's actual notifications by at least 30 minutes. I wouldn't even be in a hurry if it weren't for the backplate promotion.

pretty sure it was still 369.99 this morning, otherwise it definitely was yesterday. In any case, its pretty lame.

Back in stock at Newegg. Just ordered one with the 5% off coupon code. I imagine they won't last long in stock.

Congrats on snagging one! They are currently still in stock at Newegg, but are priced at $399. Price creep is real

I've pretty much come the the conclusion that the best time to buy these cards (9xx) will be when AMD counter strikes with the 300 series. The value of these cards are rapidly diminishing as the price inflates. It's an aweful time to upgrade because Nvidia doesn't have fair competition currently. The cards started out cheap but the GPU economy is in complete shambles because of it. With all the demand, it is almost impossible to find even a reference 780 Ti after the price cuts...unless youre willing to pay around $800-$1200.
