Yes, they are going to Newegg too. Significantly more availability this time than last time.

That's good to hear. That said, I don't expect them to last long, lol.

No 780 Classifieds showing yet ---------> but ...
... it looks like the egg just got stock on the other 780s, including the 780 HC ---> if anyone is interested ...

Thanks for the update Jacob, I have to ask why in 2013 does EVGA not have any firm type of pre order system for something of this demand. It honestly seems like you guys are running an archaic online system that could be better managed to help you guys guess how many cards you would sell.

Why cant you just take my money?

Some possibility some QTY may be posted later today at EVGA.com (US)

 
Orange means NO -----> Green means GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ...

I think I got one this time around!

Is there going to be a 780 classified with the blower design?

... it's back to Orange ---------> congrats to the lucky ones ...
 
I need another backplate now ...

Do they still need to call you to verify you order?

Missed it by 30 mins again, can't believe this lol

Ok awesome. Gonna start carrying my credit card with me lol. Any word on the hydro copper's?

JerkMan, thanks a lot for the info..heck now i'm probably going with the Classified, even without major oc'ing.

You said 1100MHz boost clock on the acx 780(sc) which is some 50MHz off the Classified you had, correct?

I heard some Classified have hit 1200 boost...i'm not sure if that's commonplace or 1150-1200 is more in the range.

I need to test my pc case(pos Dell Auroda) for it's cooling temps, as i'm guessing I don't want the possible lack of good air cooling to limit the potential clock boost of the Classified.

One question, did the 50Mhz difference show itself in any game benchmarks? I'm thinking if the acx sc gets say 56fps in Crysis3 the Classified would hit 57 or 58 max? If so, that's not a major difference.

But if I do oc the Classified..then it would be, for sure.  Also I heard the cooler is bigger..and a bit better(per evga).

I have this feeling i'll oc the heck out of the Classified..lol, to the point where I may over do it and need to rma it.

Once again..thanks for the info.

Is it worth it to jump from the acx 780 sc, to the classified, if I have no intention of oc'ing it? (and if I do, only using evga's prec x. for benchmarks).

I'm asking because the factory oc is only 26Mhz more in both base and boost. I'm guessing that's at most a 3% increase in game benchmarks. (the fillrate difference is 190 compared to 185)

Now, if the cooler is better made or other major reason to do so, then i'll upgrade from the acx to classified. (it's just i'm not one to oc besides norm 'on air', so i'm wondering if this type of gpu is only for the major oc'ers that tweak higher voltages and use liquid cooling..ect)

Thank guys. (I ordered and have the acx version last week, but was too busy to open it..so I can rma for a refund, and go with the Classified, if I choose. When they are in stock, that is from Newegg )

Short answer is: if you do not intend to OC, stick with the SC ACX.

The long answer is that I did just that. My SCs out of the box were 1102 and 1089. My Classys out of the box was 1150. Real world performance difference is negligible. The difference is definitely when talking about overclocking as my SCs topped at 1176 and my Classys go to 1280, at 1.2V.

50MHz is negligible.  The coolers are bigger because it gives off significantly more heat due to the clocks being higher.  Check out my other thread for comparison pics.  I'm boosting to 1280MHz stable in games at 1.2V, higher if I want to only benchmark.  I've hit a thermal wall though, very close to 80C, where I either downclock or crash, depending on the game/application.  I need a waterblock to even use the evbot i bought, and I have to play with the case open to get enough airflow, though switching the side fan to exhaust might do the trick.  1150 to 1280 is noticeable, though not what I would call "significant," something like 10%.  I'll definitely break 1300 if not 1400 once I get a waterblock.  This card is a beast, though if you want to go above and beyond, be prepared to spend significant time and money.

^ No.

Is there any way to get at least a day in advance info on the supply for the classified on EVGA? It is getting really tiring to check my email at work and realize the card suddenly popped but I was too late to get a purchase. At this point I am pissed enough that I am seriously thinking of taking my business elsewhere. 

that is the thing though, I have the messages on my phone but by the time I got to it, it was already too late. I was expecting them at the middle of the week like Jacob said and then out of nowhere they pop again today. I have no idea **** they are doing at this point but to me it looks unprofessional
