Andrew_K Afterburner If any blocks are offered for the Classified... I suggest buying them day one. GOod chance most companies will only offer a "Single run" and we will never see them again. Seems to be the trend the last two generations anyway... It's weird, because I only remember one company doing that... Oh really? Do what exactly? Make blocks for Classy or only make one run? Not every company even chooses to make any... ANd we have all seen EVGA run out of blocks pretty dog gone fast. And thread after thread asking for more or when will they come back in stock... lol And I live 15 minutes from Koolance... I know first hand what they build and test. Limited or not. And a buddy of mine works for HK... And I knew one of the Engineers at Danger Den... Maybe my understanding is more about a group rather than the general public in this situation?

If not, I'm not sure.

MvdL79 frankietown the backplate photos went away for the classified. does this mean it wont come with the backplate? They removed it, because it was incompatible, or atleast that's what Jacob said. So there will be no backplate for the Classified. Dang it! This might be false hope mind you... But they still have it pictured on the WC version of the Classy!! And if I remember correctly.. My 680's required the back-plate in order to add the WB... If my memory is correct, it makes me think that might still be the case with these units as well. In reality I bet this is part of the delay for the Hydro Classy... They could not get the back-plate to work out so they have to re-design the WB. "Pure" speculation on my part of course...**Crossed fingers**

What release date you guys hoping for? I have a friend who has a broken GPU and is going to buy my EVGA 570 once I replace it. He's just waiting on me.

my guess is tomorrow, but there will be a very very limited amount. Even if it was released tomorrow, next day delivery will be for Monday or Tuesday, SOOOOO we are a ways out yet!

I have pre-ordered 2x EVGA GTX 780 ACX Classifieds and 2x MSI GTX 780 Lightning both.
Whatever gets shipped to my address first, the other order will be canceled. Let's see who is really the best brand.

Where did you pre-order the cards at?

Yes and I start to be inpatient because I prepare money, change in dollars and give exactly site and model of card on paper but people don't think to sleep on comp to buy card for me like many users here. I hope in next 15-20 days people can buy card on online shop. OK I will buy in Europe but I will save maybe good part of money like this.

Pre-ordered both cards at a German webshop (Mindfactory). However pre-ordering was taken down since early this week. Probably to many pre-orders? For the Classifieds I really got a good deal with them. Pre-ordered both cards for 1100 Euro's (without VAT, I ordered through our company within EU). Comes down to 550 Euro each. So maybe I will let them ship both (EVGA and MSI) and sell the EVGA's for some good profit. ;)

That is really excellent price because I would pay probably 650+e. I mean that is ASUS stock in Belgrade now. From USA will be better. Because people will order, their family live in USA and back with my card.

Yeah that would be the price I would have paid if VAT was included. I guess it will be a little more expensive in Europe though. Because if you look at the current pricing of the GTX 780 SC ACX it's already around 650 Euro. By the way, the pricing in my country (the Netherlands) is insane. They charge for a GTX 780 SC ACX 674,95 Euro incl. shipping. That's why I don't order anymore within the Netherlands. :P

OK I count on price about 750e in first moment, but they drop little price probably because same memory and no backplate. Because last year and before that about 100-110$ was difference from stock model. Any way I will find card, It's important I like her and NVIDIA 780 really worth of shoping. If Intel screwed NVIDIA didn't. My plan was and when I bought Ivy to buy GK110 Classified but never mind one year later. On game market nothing change really important except 3-4 games really hard.

So when will the EVGA GTX 780 Classified really be released? First week of July has already ended and the second week is also coming to an end...? This is what was said by Jacob himself about the Classified: EVGA_JacobF Right now it is looking like the first or second week of July.
Or are the cards already being send out to your resellers and they will be available everywhere on release date? :)

No idea... But I do have a tiny tip... When the server seems to pause (Going from one page to another) sometimes that means they are in it and updating it... I suggest that you have two windows/browsers open. One on the forums looking for those yelling it is released.. Another for you to wear out your F5 key with...

All my employees and partners thought I had lost my mind when I did that... Now two years later every single person has no less than two monitors... With a budget in August to get new GPU's and monitors to run three... No joke!

If EVGA would be so kind to let us know if we can expect a small release today, or wait till Monday, that would be great. My f5 key is getting warm.

The Classified has a different PCB that is designed for higher overclocking. IN theory you should expect to get more performance out of a classified vs the standard AXC card

ACX heatsink and shroud are also larger on the Classfied. Regular ACX cooler 780 is a reference PCB with a different cooler.
