Bob, how do you propose that EVGA prevents individuals from buying cards and then reselling?  Like..  how does that work exactly?
 
(hint:  it doesn't)

In stock in newegg right now!!!!! I just got one!!!!!



First time I was able to actually order one.  But they voided the order like 2 minutes after I placed it.   Now I get to get another week until the next shipment...

Price gouging the card defeats the purpose of the low cost high output of the card.



Honestly I don't know what the point of the Titan X is - maybe for people who need the professional-class stuff for rendering and such, I believe it's similar to the Quadro in that regard?
IIRC for gaming and typical home-user tasks the 980Ti scored about the same as the Titan X, which IMO renders (heh) the Titan pointless for home users. And the 1080 I believe has much higher performance than either.

What's the MSRP for a FTW in the EU? I bet it's not Australia bad but Canada's cards (just north of our damn country) has a $218 higher cost than if you bought it domestic.



I dunno what the MSRP is, but here are the prices (for the FTW) various e-tailors are currently listing at:
 
Overclockers UK: £668.99
Novatech: £699.60
Amazon: £668.99
Scan: £674.99
eBuyer: £722.99
Aria: £661.98
 
That's UK prices BTW. We're still (currently) part of the EU




EU price on EVGSs own store is 769 Euro which used to equate to around £590 before all this brexit stuff (which is what amazon were selling them for at one point)
Now its more like £650
 
Luckily I pre ordered mine when the price was £599

Bob, Amazon is a free market place where anyone can sell goods on. Treat it like an American farmers/flea market. EVGA has no affiliation with most (if not all) of the sellers on that site. They are all mostly consumers who were lucky enough to grab cards early and are now reselling them at inflated prices in order to capitalize on the high demand/low supply. Please do some research before accusing EVGA of something they cannot control.

I fully understand what Amazon is. I'm a seller on Amazon and I've also been a reseller of items from various OEMs. There are ways EVGA can control the resale of their products. Please don't presume you know anything about my knowledge of the subject.

Bob,
 
The FTW version is by far the hardest card to get right now from EVGA. Every since it went on sales. Its gone in seconds when it does come up at places. You don't stand a chance against these people. Trust me. They are a dedicated bunch that literally F5 24/7. They also setup 1 click purchases. So, when it does come up. All they have to do is add to cart and submit. Or just click submit only like Amazon 1 click shopping. If you are willing to drop down to a Superclocked or FE version from EVGA. Those are a bit easier to get. Especially the FE. I have also seen places allowing a 2 card purchase. Not cool when supply and demand is so high. Newegg allows only 1 card per purchase. I mentioned earlier rumors said stock will not improve until August. It looks to be true and heading that way.   


Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate your insight into what's going on.  I'd take a SC but even those have been elusive for me unfortunately.  :-(

LOL! Thanks for making me laugh at the situation. Last time I tried at NewEgg I got the auto-notify on my mobile phone. I immediately went to the item and put the FTW in my cart.  IN MY CART!  I clicked the pay with Paypal button and the screen refreshed and "ERROR: Sorry, you have no items in your cart".  What? WHAT??!  This happened several times before I gave up frustrated. I'll keep trying. Maybe I'll be lucky with a SC instead. Sigh.

Ya dude.  You very well may understand what it is, which makes it even more confusing that you would berate EVGA for what other people are doing.  Not really something I want to argue over, but it seems your anger is misguided  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
