levifig Agree, that's true for things that are guaranteed "best"… Not sure we can place the FTW+ on that category yet! ;) I sure hope it turns out to be but it's still early. To be honest, the reason why I'm leaning towards the reference card is because of the same reasons I want an FTW+: design, build quality, performance. The reference card looks better, has the cooling system of the Titan and a matching build quality… From what I've been reading (only started research on this last night after posting that above), they seem to clock well, cool well (for a blow cooler), and the build quality is top-notch, using the same components has their big big brother Titan… EVGA is still close to my heart and I'd love to compare the FTW+ to the reference card at some point… :)
The reference 970 doesn't use the titan cooler, it uses the 980 reference cooler which looks similar to the titan cooler but uses a heatpipe based heatsink instead of a vapor chamber heatsink that the titan had. The reference 970 also uses the 980 reference PCB and components, not the titan, but that's not a problem as the 980 reference is a well designed card unlike the original 4+2 phase EVGA 970s.
AH! I knew it didn't use a vapor chamber, but I didn't know that was the stock on Titan's reference… :o Thanks for the clarification! :)

Vlada011 When I like some model I have no problem to wait little to get that. At the end I'm not without PC and want only best for self, if need 2-3 weeks of waiting, no problem.
The FTW+ is about to get released here in Sweden in february, so i bought two SSC, cant wait 2-3 weeks more :) And JACOB said that there will be backplates for the SSC so i go with them. The SSC upgrades are really good. But i agree that they should come with backplate from factory..

970 FTW+ may be imminently going up on Newegg. There's a listing for it, but clicking on the link doesn't take you anywhere, plus it's listed for $99,999.99. edit: Forgot the $7.56 in shipping/handling, sorry.

Link? And yes: when spending $100k the $8 shipping is a deal breaker… :> On the other hand, that means it's not a Premier product… and that's sad. :\

Apparently Newegg has the FTW+ in stock at $389.99!!! I'm in the UK, and Aria will have it in stock in late-Jan/early-Feb while OCUK expects to have them on the 30th of January

If $389.99 is going to be the price for the FTW+, I'm glad I went with the SSC. I cannot justify spending an extra $40 for a backplate and 25 mhz extra. I guess I'm a cheap skate.

Still not showing up for me! I only get the $99,999 item… I REALLY HOPE they add Premier handling/shipping to it because I paid for Premier especially for this!! :\

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487090 while no search within newegg gets me to this product the link does work. today is my last day to change my step-up to the ftw+ if I wanted to. but i am about to stop my folding at home project and go ship this old sc back in and wait for my ssc to arrive. after i figure in the extra shipping cost to and from evga and adding another $30 for the ftw+ I just do not think that the ftw+ will be that much better and since the backplate on my sc only seemed to lower temps by maybe 3 degrees i do not need it. I am of to the post office. now I am stalling as I do not want to remove my GPU

Bets on how long it takes to sell out? I checked EVGA's site, and no sign of it there.

Just ordered mine off Newegg - and it looks like it just went up on the eVGA site also but still marked Auto-Notify and not in stock yet.
