I know nvidia pushed back the Ti GA date to the 27th, but we are going to be waiting longer for the FTW models?
I missed both pre order windows, and am now hearing that the ftw cards are still 3-4 weeks out for those who pre-ordered. Are we going to be waiting longer than that for general availability? I've been an EVGA customer for well over a decade now and this is the messiest launch I've ever seen. Many other makers already have Ti units available, while I still can't even get a straight answer on availability from EVGA. Doesn't feel like the company I've known all these years. Anybody else experiencing the same? Or possibly have gotten more info than I have?

I'd give you my preorder if I could lol

Really thinking it may not be worth the 1359~ for a 20% increase. 

Edit: If it helps I seem to have gotten in on the second round of pre-orders. I saw it was available, preordered, and checked a few minutes later and they weren't offering it anymore. I was told 3-4 weeks at the time of purchase and as far as I'm aware haven't received any information regarding shipping, or a date. 

I'm on a 980ti right now, which just isn't cutting it for 4k, I've considered sli 1080tis but from early benchmarks; due to inconsistency in sli performance it seems the 2080ti beats the 1080 ti x2 more times than not.
I'm just trying to get to 4k 60fps, but this entire situation is just so murky, especially considering it's looking like it may be a month or more before I can even order one.
And 1080 ti prices are all still 700+

Yeah I went ahead and got a monitor that should be able to do 98hrz in 4k with hdr... so I want to take advantage of it... but it looks like the 2080ti just isn't quite the jump in performance.

Assuming I could sell the kingpin for $650~ I'm pretty much paying $700 for a 20-30 improvement over what I've got right now. 

Coming from a 980ti or a 1080ti?
Cuz from some of the videos I've seen from independent reviewers they're getting typically double the fps I am in certain games

I think they still are in developement. I think I cancel preorder. They took the money and don‘t give any ETA.

People already got their 2080 TI XC Ultra's. So it's not really messy. It's just you writing a post with false facts.
 
FTW models where labeled a estimated 3-4 weeks wait on the 11th. Though most people thought the cards might be available with the others, since EVGA showed the FTW3 already at gamescom, they have another 2-3 weeks to deliver the cards on time. It's a custom PCB and there aren't that much other custom PCB cards released, yet.
 
FTW pre orderers through EVGA will definitly get their cards before general availability.

They gave an ETA on the pre order... It was 3-4 weeks. Cards are definitly not in developement, because that would take 3-6 months...

Yea that's what I was thinking too. But
That worries me, if it's 3-4 weeks for pre order how long until the general availability

I tried, not my fault they only stocked allotted enough cards for pre orders to last an hour
Literally got to checkout and got an error 45 minutes after the notification that they went up

And that's still putting ftw 3 general availability in what? Mid October?

To be fair, I think they opened 2 or 3 different allotments of pre-orders for the FTW3's  I jumped on the first group, but saw them post it was opening back up a few days later.  
 
With all of the mess and people canceling, I'd give their customer service a call and see if they have any spots open up in the pre-orders.  Never hurts to ask, if you do it friendly and understanding they might still be full.   

Given that the boost clock speed is not even disclosed i think we still have to wait a few more days. And none of the youtubers have shown any ftw edition either so a week or two is probably reasonable

I ordered mine on the 7th and it said 3 - 4 weeks. Still waiting on that damn approval. Lol
