Those ebay stuff are fake, they have mentioned as card will be shipped after 15 days of clearing payment . That means once you pay them , they will wait for the release and buy you one for cheaper and ship it to you.
Hate those ebay guys.

 
Have my fingers crossed that the Classified will be here soon. Hopefully it's not too much longer.     :/

I will double check on Europe availability, for US we may have initial (limited) availability starting end of this month. Europe should be similar but I will confirm.

Since they're on the way how about a little more information regarding the TDP limit? Unlocked voltage won't mean much when we can't increase the TDP.

Guys my KPE has been my first Classy videocard and I suppose that it has an unlocked TPD, what about the others before this one? Was there in the previous series some Classified videocards with a limited TPD?  

Like pretty much all cards we have to rely on 3rd party bios or hardmods for increased tdp.  Same was with gtx780ti kingpin edition.  Before 3rd party bios's were released there were tons of complaints.

True Statement,
If there are No 3rd party Bios's available to allow for Voltages and TDP changes for the EVGA GTX 980 Classified like the ones I downloaded and used in my 4-Way SLI EVGA GTX Classified Kingpins (Skyn3t modded Bios's on Overclock.net), IMO There won't be much of a reason to go from a reference PCB Card to a More Expensive Non-reference PCB Card such as the Classified.

I'm using the same BIOS too, I hope that with the 980 Classy will be the same 

That's why I'm concerned. I was hoping since it has triple bios support, EVGA might provide a bios with unlocked TDP. What would be the point if they were all the same bios or all just as good as the reference. It seems to defeat the purpose of this card for anyone not willing to do a hardmod, and in that case I don't understand why they couldn't be modded before being sold.
 
I don't know about you guys, but I'm losing hope for a modded Skyn3t bios for the 900 series.

I have been watching Skyn3t's posts on Overclock.net and He has no modded Bios's available as of this time for even the reference 980 PCB Cards (The GTX 980 Bios Template shot states at the bottom "We're working on it!") , Let alone any mention of any modded Bios's for the Classifieds.
 
Looking Back to when I had them, I Now think I should have just Kept my four GTX 980 SC's and been Happy with Those reference PCB Cards.
