Well when people are paying over $700.00 for a GPU a little information about how they are sending out pre orders and any significant delays isn't too much to ask.  I have been buying GPUs, MBs and other parts for 10 years, this is the first time I'm disappointed with them, I get that delays can happen I would just like some info.

I'm waiting, too, but there's not much you can do.  We're all enthusiasts, and we know EVGA is not scamming us.  That's why we're here.  I've been an EVGA owner since the 8800GT and nForce days, and I have little to worry.  Just be glad they don't charge your credit card months ahead and leave you in the dark.  I used to be in the car hobby, and I've been in situations where I spent thousands and waited months for the completed product.  This is nothing.  The only reason why I'm impatient is that I'm stuck at 2160p 30Hz because the 6700k doesn't support HDMI 2.0, so I'm hardly using the PC at home.
 
[EDIT] OMG, I noticed it says my order has shipped, but there's no tracking.  So I think it got shipped yesterday and I didn't even know about it.  Hopefully I get it before the weekend, but I'm going out of town to hit the bars.  Gaming can wait... :)

EVGA is one of the last people to release their non-founder 1080Ti cards... by time the people that pre-ordered the FTW3 get their cards, Volta (Q3 2017 according to rumors) will be only a few months away from release and it'll already be outdated. If there's an issue it would be nice to hear about it. I've waited almost a month for something that other manufacturers have had out for weeks now. Not only that, but they didn't even release the SC2 to reviewers before shipping the first pre-orders, which makes it seem like this is being rushed out the door (however... very slowly rushed)
 
It'd be nice to hear some sort of update as to why it's taking so long for EVGA to release these compared to other manufacturers.

First SC2/SC preorders shipped yesterday, more shipped today and more shipping later this week. All SC2/SC preorders should ship by fulfilled mid next week at latest.

I just cancelled my preorder for a SC2 that was supposed to ship 4/17. The lack of communication on such an expensive product from a veteran company is inexcusable. My local brick and mortar has the Asus Strix in stock and I'll be getting one of those today.

Estimated.. doesnt meant exact. There is no telling what may have caused a delay.. heck, they added rgb to the sc2, when they initially said it was going to only have white lighting.

Jacob already stated that the SC2 cards have started shipping.

The frustration is the complete lack of communication about the delay.  For folks estimated shipping dates to still say 4/17 and the ridiculously vague answers from support on expectations we're just super frustrated.  There are folks who have their SC and SC2 cards already.  I just don't understand how that type of delay with absolutely no communication is considered proper behavior from a major gaming corporation.  
 
I work in Business Intelligence, the effort it would take to run through the pre-order database and find those that haven't shipped, haven't been charged and still say 4/17 then contact those owners with an apology email and update the 4/17 entry in the db would be absolutely minimal.  I wonder if they want my help?  Hell I'll VOLUNTEER my time to help your team do this.   I don't even work for the company but I'll be happy to point them in the right direction when it comes to letting their customers know about a delay.
