I cannot for the life of me figure out what the difference is between the 2070 Super XC and the XC Ultra besides $10.00. Anyone?

    only difference in the spec sheet says  ;
     
    PCI Slot Size                Dual Slot                           2.75 Slots 
     
    so 1 card is slightly less thick than the other

    Ugh, I feel stupid now didn’t even notice that. Now what is the purpose of the oversized? I mean why would you want to take up more real estate? Aesthetics ? if your running SLI wouldn’t you want as much breathing room as possible.

    Just ordered the XC Ultra probably take a week to get here. Cost me $20.00 more than the EVGA Price plus shipping so I was willing to make the exception as its an authorized retailer.

    Where did you order if you don't mind me asking? B&H is toying with me saying it could be as late as AUGUST 10TH for mine.

    Central computers in CA. If you look at the where to buy page on product page they are under USA as a authorized retailer. They had a few in stock at each location when I called to verify stock before ordering. When you click the link on the EVGA page it will take you to their site and give you a error not found. Just do a search for the super card and you will find them.

    Did they charge you tax?(assuming VA is one of the states that gets taxed online now) We recently here in PA got added to that list...but if they don't it me with tax+fat shipping...I might pull the trigger.

    Nope we don’t have that special tax for online that is going into effect. We do pay sales tax for places like Amazon but I believe your referring to the new tax for some states for online purchasing? Regardless, they didn’t charge me any.
