Actually your point about buying on release is not valid as I did purchase 3 cards 1 was samsung 2 were the off elpida and its not the same the elpidia on every card overclocks half as much as my classified and ref 780 that have samsung memory +225 mem max is what I get with elpidia mem samsung I at least get +410 min on my ref so huge difference in benchs.

No its not illegal your right its just shady business practices. If they sent it to reviews then it would be different but they sent samsung to the reviews probably knowing they did not have enough samsung memory to go around. All I am asking a evga staff though is can we expect samsung to beused and again and a rough time frame if they are.q

A couple of new reviews:
 
Hardware Canucks: http://www.hardwarecanuck...classified-review.html
Guru3D: http://www.guru3d.com/art...assified_review,1.html

Did we forget to mention memory? Well, that topped out at 7426MHz before the GDDR5’s error correction stepped in, which is nothing short of incredible.

 
Another nice review using the Samsung memory, that card is doing over twice the memory overclock compared to both of my Elpida cards.
Edited

i wouldnt blame evga for it, im sure if samsung memory wasnt so hard to get right now, all the classifieds would be getting it. even titans are starting to get elpida over samsung.

I know right... the card is one of the best 780 cards even running with elipda memory.

Seriously guys. We get the point... You're annoyed about the samsung memory. There is no-one on these forums who isn't aware that you are annoyed.

Go guy a lightning then and stop your belly-aching.

It's also worth noting that these reviews never mention the mem brand AT ALL. So it's entirely possible that these are Elpida, just very high results for the elpida RAM.

Just the same as with anything else, you can get 'golden' elpida memory modules I'm sure.

Even if they are Samsung's that were sent to the reviewers, wouldn't you? Honestly, not just internet posturing... Honestly if you ran a multi-million $$ business like EVGA, wouldn't you?

Thing is we wouldn't need golden elpida memory if we got the Samsung that was on the reviewed cards in the first place.
But your right complaining about it isn't going to fix it and guess it's ok for a multi-million business to screw over it's customer's and get away with it. Who needs memory that overclocks good on a card made for overclocking? 

Anyhow I solved the problem so I done talking about it.

You're acting as if they did it on purpose. 

It's about time! I'm very grateful that you got a sample out to guru3d finally! Much appreciated!
 
Thanks!

matter of a fact is ..they did sent samples and they keep sending review samples of the product that is not available in a favor of getting better reviews which is not fair and wrong ,which part don't you get it man !?,if you going to provide a sample why the hell not Elpida based IC card and I don't care if they are hand picked /highest binned but at list they will look like "true blue" type of company 
EDIT; this is not pre-realised review and well know fact is out in a wild that you/me won't get similar product 

Exactly, no reviewer's mention what RAM the card has. I maybe able to find out shortly what ram was used in the HWC review.

I'm sure the block is pretty decent then, you sure can't tell by the photo they took of the bottom but anyhow that's cool they are connected.
Funny thing is I had two of them a couple of weeks back and never opened the box and looked at them, but that was before I seen the photo otherwise I would of took a closer look..

You're acting as if they are only sending reviewers cards with samsung memory, which isn't true at all. Nobody really knows as the reviewers never tell us what memory is on the PCB.

what did I told you...I'm "acting" ? ..lol grow up

I'm happy with my Elpida.  I'm at +600 (7200 Mhz) which I settled on because of the decreasing effectiveness of the memory overclock at higher numbers.  I tested up to +800 I was still getting increases without any artifacts, but the increases were getting progressively smaller so it wasn't worth it for me.
 
As I said in a previous thread memory overclocking is a very small increase overall on these 780's compared to the 680.  I went up slightly less than 200 points in 3DMark 11 extreme going from +0 to +600.

It's green on normal bios. Red on LN2 mode.

So, what exactly is up with the physics engine on these cards? its freekin terrible....doesnt even manage 30 FPS on firestrike standard, barley does 4 FPS on 3dmark 11 the physics is being done on GPU 2, and I am running a proper SLI setup....this is really pathetic, my 690 ran 10800 scores with a 4.2GHZ 2600K these only managed 11100 with a 4.4GHZ 4770K thats pathetic for 2 GTX Classy's whats up with this?
 

his sig rig is saying he has a 4770k at a moderate clock of 4.4ghz, his physics score shouldnt be that low
