I just ordered three 670 FTW's from Newegg yesterday. I know EVGA is going to sell a lot of FTW models now that they've taken the SC model off the market and bumped the FTW down to the SC price slot. In addition to them selling a lot of FTW models, they also have a back plate already made for the GTX 680. I don't know for certain what all has to go into product design, but I can't imagine it would be very difficult for EVGA to put GTX 670 FTW graphics on the 680 back plate they already have and give it a new SKU and sell it to us 670 FTW owners.
 
I've seen a couple threads lately asking about the back plates for these, and I thought maybe if we all gave EVGA some words of encouragement and some confidence that they would sell some of these then we'd see these available for purchase. Come on you 670 FTW owners. Let your voice be heard!

I can feel your pain.
Im also waiting that I can order 670 FTW, and surely would like to order 670 FTW -backplate rather than GTX680.
Lets hope that they hear our voice :)

I agree please make them,

When contacted by me, EVGA customer support could not tell me when or if they will make a dedicated backplate for the 670 FTW. 
 
Maybe if enough people ask they will at least offer 680 backplates sans the 680 logo.  Hey an all black logo free backplate works for me.

Im looking at getting the asus 670, any reason why you guys are not?

The EVGA comes with: Superior customer service and a great site
 
The EVGA 670 FTW is based on the 680 PCB is a BIG PLUS+++

Of all the brands of products I have owned I have only had to RMA from 2 manufacturers.
 
Asus and MSI.
 
RMAing from Asus was a nightmare I do not wish on anyone. Maybe they have gotten better, but I do not want to chance it.
 
 

SIGNED! Maybe even a discount since you know... FTW should of had one to begin with. I mean its a FTW!

Strange, every evga gpu ive owned has gone to rma, im on my 2nd rma from my 480 alone

Dont get me wrong I luv evga but the asus just has, well, its got my attention

OK,
No problem; BUT, this post is to show EVGA that the EVGA 670 FTW owners want a backplate!
 
You may get more input on a different post comparing different 670s

Mostly as proud 670 FTW owners; we would like to use a backplate that represents the product we paid for!
YES, I know the 680 BP fits the 670 FTW.
 
AND
 
EVGA could easily omit the 680 logo or creat the 670 FTW logo.
 
We are attempting to raise EVGA's awareness to our desire to purchase more of their product.
 
 

Hmm we should start a new thread called " Petition to get GTX 690 backplate!!!"

Goshhhh, these casuals are really lazy these days. LOL. What does stop u from taking 680 backplate and install it??? +Jacob mentioned that 680 version will fit on 670

I wanna smile everytime I see such threads :)

 
If I was a casual I wouldn't mind installing a 680 backplate on my 670's. The fact that I'm incredibly anal about the appearance of my PC's means that installing a backplate that says 680 on 670's is not an option for me. Sorry. I will go no backplate before I put one on that doesn't even represent the correct model.

K, I'm gonna be the first person to sound stupid here, but what is a backplate ?
I just ordered 670 FTW to piece new desktop (I owned gaming laptops for last 7 years), and I would like to know what is the benefit of adding backplate to the 670 ftw.

It's basically a metal shield that you screw onto the back of your card. Benefits include lower temps (by about 3c on average), protection for the PCB components, and general aesthetic value.
