This sucks yesterday I freaked out on here cause every time i come on here the story has changed about when they are shipping out the cards.  the last thing I heard before yesterday what all of the March. 28th pre-orders will be shipped by friday.  And then I was told that they may carry over until sometime next week.  So I freaked out explaining why I was upset.  and in this whole ordeal is the first time I went off the handle. and threaten to cancel my order.  And usually I mean it when I said it too.  SO with that being said I looked at other cards and custormer reviews.  The only three cards I would consider would be Asus strix OC, Gigabyte Arous Extreme and Msi Gaming X.  The Asus card has a consistant coil whine and gets hot,  so that is out and the Arous Extreme their software is buggy as heck and the Msi card I didin't find anything wrong with it in fact it would be a great card but the look of it wouldn't fit my build.  So Three strikes I guess I'm sticking with EVGA it's still the best choice.  I guess I need to put on my big boy panties and wait this out.  

Can you link to the ASUS review that talks about the whine and heat? I'm about 2 seconds away from cancelling my pre-order and going with ASUS which is a higher overclock and I can get it by Tuesday at the latest from Amazon.

Just google it you'll find videos and forums talking about it and plus the review section on newegg on the card's page

My pre-order shipment date is for the 8th... Guess I won't be getting it until mid May, hopefully. This is extremely disappointing...

so has anyone with a preorder on 3/28 that had a purchase time after 10:14 been charged yet? my CC has no charge. I really hope it goes out tomorrow. I bought two of them. 

Purchased at: 10:15:28 AM , not charged yet.

I had the Asus and returned it. Idled at 55 and Asus advised me to RMA it with Newegg. No way am I canceling my pre-order for the FTW3. Asus slapped a bigger cooler on their 1080 Ti....not enough. The engineering behind the FTW3 is worth the wait.

The fans shutdown on idle up too 55 by design on the Asus strix

I'm patient! I'm upgrading from a GTX 760 The wait will be worth it! Maybe if people cancelled because they're entitled I can hopefully get it sooner? :P Either way I'm excited and can't wait to start gaming 1440p (Not quite ready to jump to 4k)

Still nothing, 1020 on the 28th. It's hilarious, the one time I really need a gpu because I have another to RMA and evga is just fn taking forever... Unreal. As if a month wasn't long enough

So it's 5/5 ....ship or or no ship...LOL

This morning I put my grass skirt on, slaughtered a lamb and made a sacrifice at the volcano.
 
My pre-order timestamp:

• Order Date: 3/28/2017 10:21:00 AM

EVGA did upgrade to Saturday delivery:
 

 
Shall we place bets?

• On whether the order is actually fulfilled today
• On whether the order actually ships today with Saturday delivery
• On whether Saturday delivery will be removed/downgraded if fulfillment is delayed once again

What do I get if I win..?lol
 
I get a feeling the more you whinge the more likely they will delay your orders....(payback?) LOL..
 

I'm in such a generous mood on this Gloriously Supposed Estimated Perhaps Theoretical EVGA Pre-order Shipping Day, so you'll win a cookie-- one Oreo with the filling already licked off...
 

Most expensive 1080 ti and they just don't want my money

This is insane. There is no excuse! Its simple, a distributor should know exactly how many cards they are going to receive at what times. So you only take preorders for cards you know you will have so you can fulfill the orders!!!! They were taking preorders from 10am up until at least 10:30am. HOWEVER the only people that have the cards shipped to them so far on time are people who ordered before like 10:10am??? So everyone after that time got delayed up to a week! I have a feeling they knew they couldn't fulfill the orders BUT TOOK THEM ANYWAYS, just so they could "lock us in" to a pre-order. I'm willing to bet if everyone knew we had to wait until the 2nd week of May to get our cards we would have just gone with something else! This is fraud! Then they know that if they say "sorry guys for the slight delay" most people wouldn't cancel because we are stuck. If we go order another one at this point we may not get it any sooner "so I might as well keep my preorder". I know its going to be a great card, but wow this is some really shady practice
 
Not only do I game with mine but I'm also an Architect who does 3d design and drafting and this is literally affecting my work schedule-not to say its anymore important than gaming etc. but still this is not cool at all. I have always been team EVGA but this is blowing my mind that a company will take pre-orders on cards they know they cant send out on time.

I'm glad to see many cards shipping so please be patient everyone as stock continues to roll into your geographic area. 

What "many" cards are you talking about? It's the exact opposite. Outside of a few that shipped last Friday and Monday, no cards have been shipping.

I find it interesting people defending EVGA on how they've handled this whole thing.

If you are going to complain and are that dissatisfied then why don't you just cancel your pre-order and go to Asus or Gigabyte. I'm sure their customer service and quality is much better. Then you wont have to worry about going on a Forum post to complain like a little baby 

Are you serious? Your name calling and I'm the baby? Did you not read my comment? At this point even if I did go with Asus or something they are out of stock everywhere. We preordered March 28th and knew we would be getting our cards weeks after everyone else started shipping theirs out. I was ok with waiting. My point was they knew how many cards they were getting so why did they keep taking preorders???? The only people that got cards shipped were people who order up to like 10:12 am or something. Mine was 10:16 and still hasn't shipped. So that means they just kept on taking the preorders anyways even though they knew they would have to "delay it a few days". They just wanted to lock us in. Like I said "i know its going to be a great card, but this is shady business practice". Maybe your to dense to understand what that means. I have an evga gpu and psu now and I know they are good quality WHICH IS WHY I PREORDERED WITH THEM. So this is a completely valid point I'm making on a forum called- ding ding ding-you guessed it "1080ti ftw3 shipping date", so why don't you keep your peanut gallery to yourself. Plus this was the only comment I've made about this so far. Also obviously I'm willing to wait a month for a card so another week isn't going to kill me. I'm merely pointing out the fact they knew they couldn't fulfill the first wave of orders but took them anyways. Not cool.
