What I don't understand is why these cards are so short as far as stock and why the 980 TI or the 900 series cards when they came out they wasn't as short a stock as this card is that's what I want understand

One was based on a manufacturing process that was already very mature, to say the least. The other is based on an immature manufacturing process that they have struggled to reach.

980's where short stocked for a long time too, by the time the TI's came out there was plenty to go around.

Well i bett they lost alot of people that went for a diff brand if i read my local tech forums they missed out on a huge amount of customers. 

how long were the 980 out of stock for until the TIs came?

well, someone must make a statement then, and this better be not "1080s are selling excellent" bs.

Couldn't agree more. They are playing us around. I simply don't understand why won't nvidia/egva tell us what's going on. It seems as if they are selling a few cards at the time, and by a few I mean 5 or so. All you can find out there are FEs and it's clear they want to sell those out before fully release the other cards

It was a paper launch on nVidia's part. That's it. They don't need to inform anyone of anything and we're not owed anything. EVGA is doing all it can to get these cards out. I commend Jacob and company for even caring enough to post on these forums and twitter, which they don't have to do. You will get your card(s) eventually. That said, I too am not thrilled about this launch, I think it is BS. If you think the 1080 Ti launch or even the 1080 Hybrid launch will be any different you will be disappointed. There's always shortages and price gouging. It will likely take months to obtain a Hybrid after its release, just like the 980 Ti hybrid.

I don't remember, but the GTX 980's where released Sept of 2014 and I got my SC in Feb 2015. The 980 TI's where not released until June of 2015

Guys, Jacob confirmed next week and also the day so we have only to wait, if you do not have a preorder (made before the 1st of June) there is no way you can get the card until the end of July i think (for the FTW card)!!
 

 
I ordered on June 2nd, and i'm number 50 in line. maybe even higher now. But yeah, all we can do is wait.

How do you know what place in line are you?

Ive preordered mine on 29th may, wondering what place am I
