Just ordered one from Newegg the other night and set to arrive wednesday. First high end card i've ever bought, and first EVGA card as well. Im pleased to see such good reviews of their customer support. So is there anything i need to know about this card? Areas to check or inspect when unboxing before powering the card up? Has there been any reported problems with these cards yet? I know they are pretty new so they hav'nt been out long in this setup.

I think taking the time to read up and watch some reviews on the card you purchased should answer most of your questions.

Has anyone from (EU) imported one of these card from the (US)?
 
Thinking of doing this as no reasonable stock avialble in the (EU) since release date.
 
Looks like NewEgg, has loads of these cards as they have been in stock with them for about 1 week straight now. 
 
Just not sure how much it will costs including customs charge. Probably around £850 - £870. which is high.
 
Has anyone from EVGA, Said anything about the poor (EU) stock situation?.

It's not a poor stock condition it is just a matter of the stock getting into Europe taking longer.

It is a poor stock condition though... no FTW3's are available from big online retailers in the UK still and today is the 14th May... apparently Scan.co.uk will have some stock tomorrow but it will likely sell out within minutes and Amazon UK won't have any stock in till the 9th June which is frankly absurd. As for the SC2 Hybrid, it was due to be in stock at Scan on the 10th, that went past and now it says 19th May. It's quite clear there are stock issues with Europe. EVGA just completely prioritizes the US and doesn't give a damn about the rest of the world. 

I ordered two hybrids from Scan on the 4th of May, when their web site was showing stock expected on the 10th of May.  They actually shipped them out to me on the 9th and were in my hands on the 10th, but they never showed up as being in stock on the Scan web site (as far as I can tell, anyway).  If more product is expected tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised if everything they receive has actually all been sold already to people who ordered last week in advance of fresh stocks arriving.  If you're waiting for them to show as being in available on the web site before placing your order then you may be disappointed again tomorrow.
 
I registered with EVGA to be notified when their EU store had them in.  Two times I got emails and both times I was on the store's web page within minutes (5 minutes the first time, 30 minutes the second time).  Two times I was too slow and there was nothing available to buy when I got there.  There does seem to be a shortage of these cards.  I'm not sure if it's due to huge demand or poor supply.  I think now I got lucky getting mine so quickly.
 
If you're impatient then I recommend pre-ordering from Scan.co.uk or Overclockers.co.uk (or both - you can always phone to cancel one of the orders as soon as you hear that one has shipped).  Don't wait for free stock to show up on vendors' web sites.

Can the frustrated folks from overseas stop flooding threads not related to shipping, please.  You've guys have bombarded enough threads with irrelevancy.  Create one big thread about it and have at it.  And yes, there are logistics, bureaucratic red tape and regulations I'm sure they need to go through and be cost effective at the same time.  I'm not aware that the overseas customers get the same release as US customers from a US based company on US soil.  I always thought the US customers are the first in line to get these products which usually happens.  What you guys are saying is new to me.  When I order from overseas, I expect a later date release,  delays, etc and a nice high tax from the EU for example.

Did someone post a PWM adapter to work with this somewhere in this thread? I know it's around here somewhere. I'd like to get my Noctua fan popped in place.

Not irrelevant. Clearly demonstrated by lots of users. 
 
Have a really nice day.

Best thing is to just ignore this guy. He's clearly just a fanboy who will lick EVGA's backside no matter what, as long as it benefits him. Another entitled American, quite a few on here truth be told. 

 
Maybe you should have taken your own advise before insulting me and generalizing all Americans.  At least we now know what you think of us.  Thanks big guy.  Maybe you could go to your local makeshift brands and buy from them because you know, only a contradicting genius would buy from an american company after making those remarks.

And btw, I'm sitting here waiting patiently for another SKU as it's not even released yet while some people around here are truly having entitled baby stompy feet moments.  Thanks for being a fine example.  

You take care now, mate.

EU stock situation needs serious work, I would agree.
 
I bought and paid for my hybrid on the 9th with the with scan saying that they would have stock on the 10th and now it's going to be the 19th, and that date is probably a maybe. Surely someone from EVGA knows when UK retailers are getting stock sent out/delivered and could pass it on to members on the forums?
 
I am away with work for one week, if scan.co.uk does not get stock on the 19th and one of them is mine then I will most likely be cancelling my order with them.
