Loving the silence from EVGA and reps about all this. Makes me wonder the only reason why they put the FTW3 for preorder was a post on Reddit about a guy calling them out on misleading information on which models has the iCX2 cards.. That's nice that they were proactive about it and changed it and even as far as opened the FTW3 preorders early. But at least let everyone know when you're releasing the product for preorder???

It's not a crowdfunded project it's supposed to be a preorder with a release date.

That seems overly harsh.  An evga support rep posted to this thread within the last 24 hours.   He just didn't give us a date.  I wouldn't call it silence.

It does seem a bit silly we don't have an ETA at this point. If they were 1-2 weeks out now, I'd think EVGA would say so.

They said 3-4 weeks when we preordered if I recall right, so even if it takes so long we shouldn't complain. I believe it'll take less time but let's see

It's just that a lot of people are waiting and it's more the silence that makes us inpatient. If they told us cards are still on container ship, we would know what we have to expect and just wait for one or two weaks... Now we know nothing...

I am in the same boat as you guys. Le sigh.
Maybe I should've kept my bestbuy pre-order for FE instead.

Naw hang in there, I have a feeling it will be worth the wait - whatever it is.

To clarify, I was talking about 2080ti ftw3 :). But given that 3 to 4 weeks estimate was stated back on September 7th I dare hope that the 3 to 4 weeks will be honored from that day.

Yeah I was too as that is what I have on order as well, the FTW3 Ultra.
I am not that concerned as I know I will be quite happy with it whenever it does get here. 

It's just that I have been sitting without my main rig for close to a month now (sold my 1080ti's) and it's killing me.

Pro Tip- EVGA always takes awhile (2 to 4 weeks) from card launch til the FTW models release. They have a custom PCB and other features, hence the delay.  For the 10 series I bought a Gtx 1070 SC model June 16 2016 because I was impatient and did not want to wait til the FTW model came out even though that is the card I really wanted. Needless to say July 17th (Around there) the FTW model was released. I ended buy that one as well. I gave the 1070 SC to my daughter as a B day present. Moral of the story is patience. You screaming and yelling in this thread solves nothing and more then likely you will not get any answers any faster. If you notice almost every other AIB is selling the reference PCB models and none of them have the custom models for sale. 

MSI Gaming X Trio has a custom pcb.

Want to know too!

If the FTW versions mid October I'll be upset! Preorder said 3-4 weeks! Mid October is well past that.

Right, no need to bring out the pitch forks until the 4 weeks since preorder has passed, which is October 5th for me.

Iyatsu
Same for me October 5th is 4 weeks!

It's probably the same for all of us in the first batch. The pre-order sold out in like 30 minutes. Lol

I think Jacob once said that all that stuff will be in October and so on so you guys have some time.

Sorry, my mistake, date in usa format, 12-9 here for my preorder.
