So if I am only planning on moderate overclocking, should I not bother with a Classified 980 Ti, Lightining or ASUS equivelant and just get something cheaper for light-moderate overclocking?

Is Batman supposed to come with the 980Ti? If so, how is it being distributed by EVGA? Got mine yesterday but no card inside the box or notice of game included.

I just picked up one of the Overclocked 980 ti's that's available now, and am wondering if I would be eligible for eventually using the Step-up program to get the backplate version. I imagine it will be months down the line before this actually occurs, but I assume there is nothing wrong with doing so. Or am I off-base about this?

Why wouldn't you just buy a backplate and slap it on there?

That's certainly a thought. If it is easy and readily available I suppose I could give it a try. Any ETA on when the backplates would be available to buy separate?

I like the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ (w/Backplate) 06G-P4-4995-KR. I'm worried though that my build case of choice, the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX, might be better off with a reference cooler GPU design because of maybe being restricted somewhat for proper multi-fan cooler airflow to the card. Any chance EVGA will make a reference 980 TI backplate? I'm only considering GPU's that come with a backplate (from other brands too) because the reference version does not and no one is making backplates it seems. EDIT - Just noticed there is now a part number for an EVGA 980 TI Backplate 100-BP-4995-B9. It wasn't there several says ago but glad it is now!

Don't feel bad. I ordered mine from NCIX the day they came out and when I called today they said they are still waiting for both cards. I'll give them till Friday and then pull my order and go elsewhere.

Just an FYI, the Amazon pre orders are first come first in line. So if you want a Hybrid card it would be wise to place your order now instead of waiting for it to be in stock. You won't be charged until it ships. While I wish there was more stock, this pre order process is much easier than having to deal with nowinstock.com alerts. Also, I am sure it makes things easier for Amazon since they can better determine demand. Also, lol the Hybrid was in stock at Newegg for a whopping 9 minutes today. This reminds of the days trying to get a PS3 at launch in NY. It was just about impossible. I ended up going to Middle of Nowhere Virginia.

LOL man this thread is giving me flashbacks to the GTX 680 launch. People were rushing out to buy that card, NO ONE had it in stock and I waited about 2 or 3 weeks before mine showed up.

Does the 980 ti SC reference card come with a back plate? EDIT: It appears it does not. That's just silly.

But they do now have a part number for an EVGA 980 Ti blackplate you can get separately. Only bad thing is an EVGA reference cooler overclocked with backplate added, ends up costing a combined $10 more ($670 + $20) than the $680 EVGA overclocked ACX 2.0+ version w/backplate.

Just thought it'd be thoughtful to share with everyone who hasn't pulled the trigger yet that the Batman promotion for the 980 Ti from EVGA is already closed. Supposedly other suppliers have promo codes but EVGA isn't taking any more requests now.
Some people claim they're going to see if they can get more, but I can verify they don't take requests anymore. Was pretty disappointed myself when I found out. It kind of detracts a little value from the purchase - albeit small.

If you are sure your plan of "modertate OC" is set in stone then you certainly do not need to wait and/or spend the extra money. I got a plain old Gigabyte reference model (Sorry EVGA... there was just no stock anywhere I could get). Didn't bump it up step by step... just went full power... +275mhz. Boosts to 1502. Tried 300mhz (boosts to `1525) and it works fine (Made it through Firestrike Extreme and 1 hour of Heaven). Tried +310mhz and it still didnt crash but it didnt boost any higher. 1525 is the limit for my card I guess, its hitting V-reg / V-op or some other limit. If I can get that high on a plain old reference.... The Kingpin / Classified is going to be RE-diculous!

I assume that because I placed my amazon order for the card when they had the promo active that I'll get a code for it...

I doubt it. I bought the card day 1 from EVGA. There's no queue. You register the card on their site then enter the promo page while logged in at which point it'll tell you it's closed.
