1080 FTW in stock at EVGA.com!

Managed to get one i think! 
 
Now I wait for shipping confirmation 

looks like evga is going to be in need of a new online PR person because whoever does that is doing a terrible job, and if there is no one, then they need an online pr person. If you are qualified email  please apply and save us all from this nightmare! This is what it has come to EVGA we are begging rando's on the internet to apply for pr positions at your company so that we aren't in the dark. 

From the looks of it they are still working on the 1060 SSC and FTW, but I wouldn't be surprised if those launch soon. As for the 1080, it is a high quality product that they are only making a smaller quantity of, thus they are only getting so many to each partner while the 1070 is getting more made since it is a better value, performance to dollar that is. Now I would love a 1080 classified but I would have to go an hour or more from home to get one, last I saw was 2-3 hours away, so I won't get one anytime soon. I likely will get a 1070 FTW.

There's more 1070 stock due to 1 of 2 options.
1. Chip issues causing more 1070 capable dies than 1080 capable dies.
2. Higher demand for 1080s.

Personally, I went with the 1080 as I was upgrading from a 970 that was an upgrade for a 760. Looks like my next upgrades gonna be an 1180Ti.

I am sorry EVGA I waited as long as I could to try and get a pair of 1080 Classified's; refreshing the product page daily to see if it will be in stock (even teased myself by checking the webstore at Micro Center...pointless) but, decided to jump ship for a couple of Titan X(P)'s. Should be here tomorrow and will be the first non-EVGA card to go in any of my systems since 2005. Thank you for your excellent tech and customer support but, unfortunately the product availability just could not match.

You would have been in for a long wait for the 1080 Classified at this website - EVGA aren't selling it over the website or anywhere else but at Micro Center, and only over-the-counter there, no online orders whatsoever. That is the ONLY option for the 1080 Classified, unless you want to try to get a used one for $1,000+ on ebay lol.
 
EVGA has clearly needed a good production planner for years... lack of supply to meet demand has consistently been one of EVGA's few faults, and unfortunately it's a pretty big one. Many years ago I worked as a production planner, and screwing up just once like this would have cost me my job. I hate to think how much business EVGA has lost over the years because of this one issue. Happens every time, yet somehow nobody learns from it. Go figure.
 
edit: perhaps EVGA are being held back by supply from NVidia, in which case NVidia is the culprit, but EVGA isn't saying anything against NVidia because.. well, you don't bite the hand that feeds you. Then again, other brands have stock available.. so is it that EVGA are so good they get sold out first? If that's the case, NVidia should be supplying more to EVGA since this happens with every new release. Either that, or EVGA aren't ordering enough from NVidia. Either way, someone somewhere is screwing up consistently, and it would be nice if somebody in a position to do so actually tried to rectify this issue.
 
Maybe I should be thanking EVGA for not allowing me to throw my money at them, lol.
 

Let's face it this isn't the first time EVGA has screwed up a product launch, it has happened on every series I can remember so to cast blame at Nvidia is off target.
The fact that they can't get it right is one thing the fact that they stay silent and will not give customers any information is another. I love the products but I hate the way they treat us...Like ATM's.

I'm tempted to get a second hand 970 and give Pascal a miss.

I'm looking for a 1060 but in the european shops the availability is september :(

I was able to buy one 08G-P4-6286 FTW from EVGA  website, it was available for 10 minutes only, they sent the email of notification saying it's available and I jumped on the website and I got it.  
email sent 16:02 PST  August 9, 2016.
 
p.s; I've been waiting almost a 3 weeks for this to happen.
 
Best of luck for everyone of you guys
