For every day that goes by and my status is "Awaiting shipment" my goodwill towards EVGA is diminishing. This will most likely be my last EVGA product in a long time to come. I am left with a card in my system that is not performing to the standard advertised by EVGA, it’s cooling capabilities when it comes to the VRM, and possibly even the vRAM components is subpar to the rest of the competition.
I cannot believe I spent more on my 1070FTW when I could have gotten a Strix or Gaming X for less money in my region (Europe). And let’s be honest here guys (all fanboyism aside) what makes the FTW/ACX cards better? Are they more cherry picked than the other cards? Nope! Do they offer a superior cooling solution? Lel no! Are they more silent than the competition? With the new VBIOS, hell no! So, what am I getting that is premium or noteworthy? It certainly isn't the 3-year warranty, ASUS and other brands are offering those as well.
It’s bad enough that I am showing leniency by installing these, but I am not getting these damn pads, its almost 4 weeks since I ordered them?! Get your heads out of your behinds and start shipping them abroad for god’s sake! This is amateurish to say the least.
