misaligned
This is EVGA treating their customers who committed to buying one months ago like garbage. They continue to fill retail orders while feeling it's acceptable for us to wait over 4 months. I don't think a class action lawsuit would be unreasonable at this point.
Retailers of EVGA GTX 1080 cards have been offering them on sale for below MSRP for a couple months now. Newegg.com has had the FTW on sale and the SC on sale for below MSRP several times. This weekend the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW is on sale for $30 off. So, its obvious that the demand has slowed down and EVGA can devote more resources to fulfilling the Step-Up customers. Yet here we are waiting 4+ months for our GTX 1080 cards.
If I knew it was going to be over 4 months to fufill my step up request I would have sold my GTX 960 on eBay 4 months ago when I could have sold it for $20-$30 more than I can get for it now and bought a GTX 1080 at MSRP through Newegg or B&H Photo.
