I know everyone wants their new cards and some of us that preordered thru Amazon and B&H ect are still waiting too. I ordered an FTW from Amazon on may 31 and they still say we need more time to (insert generic customer support reply). I'm getting tired of waiting and have been eyeing the MSI and Asus cards i see go on sale from time to time. I made 2 mistakes this release one was Selling my SLI 970 FTW cards two was preordering from Amazon. As it stands now it will be atleast a month before i see a new card from when i ordered which honestly i could deal with fine but this heavy lack of info concerning the release of these new cards and the rude way Amazon treats people who ask about preorders just has me not really caring anymore. this is probably the last week I am going to wait then i'll just buy whatever i can find (founder edition aside) Might even buy one of the discounted 980 ti cards i see all the time. IMO this has been one of the very worst retail launches I have ever seen from any major company.

I ordered mine the exact same day as you did from Amazon. Still waiting. I talked to an EVGA rep via phone and they said that it would be at least 2 weeks before they knew when the official release date of the FTW 1080. Preorders through the EVGA site will be filled before Amazon's so I'd say it'll be at least 3 more weeks before we get ours.

When did you talk to them? On Friday they said that they had filled all evga.com pre ordes for the FTW.

Jacob confirmed on Twitter that they'd already dispatched some FTW cards to Amazon.  (I think Twitter, might have been forums)

Yes, some Amazon (US) shipped last week, and some more this week.

woah, your saying if I pre ordered it might be another 3 weeks before I get my hands on the card?  I havent even preordered, I thought they were posting some FTW editions this week to sell? I am screwed arent I :(

Amazon still has to fill the FTW preorder hole.  Other vendors should list cards for sale in the meantime.

Evga GTX 1070 SC up on Newegg right now.....

so when realistically will I be able to place my 1080 FTW order if I stay on top of it?  Sometime this week Jacob said I thought, so then after I order hopefully I am in the right place at the right time and stars align and I place the order.  Then its another 3+ weeks before it arrives?

I talked to the rep around 4 days ago. Hopefully we are in the preorder queue that will be filled this week.

Nobody knows the answer to that.  Fact is if you're somewhat flexible in terms of which card you buy, and you watch this space and places like Nowinstock.net..  you can get cards.  I could have bought a half-dozen today if I wasn't locked into 1 particular model.
