First priority is US shop? It will mean that my first priority will be to not buy EVGA anymore.
That's really hurting how EVGA is treating EU customers, i think that should be reported on all EU forums about HW.

I did my pre-order on eu.evga.com, not so long after release. I did not realize then how rare even the pre-order button was going to be. After that, the availability issues started, the whole "whoops, forgot to fill pre-orders and sent some cards to retailers"-debacle happened. Maybe it was a mistake or it was just business. Still, I was not worried, I had my pre-order in and was going to get a 1080 FTW soon because I had some priority.
 
But now I'm reading that FTW's are trickling down to US retailers and pre-orders but EU (and apparently Canada) pre-orders are getting nothing, let alone retail stock. I'm really hoping that the update that was promised today is some positive news on the EU (and Canada - I won't forget you guys ) situation.




yep same here, preordered on the 28th on the EU website, i really didn't think that button would be so rare. I really hope they're finally going to be start shipping out this week, it honestly feels like Europe is getting the shaft again from almost every manufacturer, i've been keeping my eye on various european websites and almost none have had any sort of aftermarket card in stock so far.
i do appreciate Jacob keeping us a little up to date at least, but the wait is becoming a burden now :(

Ordered FTW the day it was available from NCIX. Was told that they weren't going to be receiving them untill June 17, add shipping onto that and it's almost a months wait. Now it's been delayed untill July 11th. Now I need to wait ANOTHER month to put it in my new $3000 system I built just for this card, while being bottleneck'd by a 960. I sure hope that they've actually shipped to NCIX as EVGA somehow received enough stock to put the sales back on today.

Yeah like the financial crisis and brexit wasn't enough, EU isn't getting any stock either, dark times ahead...
Frankly I think I ll also ask for a refund if there won't be any news this week despite being almost first in line. Though in my backwater country the scalpers are actually the retailers and charge 1000-1200$ for custom cooled boards and EU stores that deliver here are also don't have any stock of the alternative cards I d buy.

Have the same problem here in germany. Called my reseller (alternate) several times for the actual situation. They told me, that they are also waiting for a shippment. Some days they get one or two, other days none. And I had preordered it, too.
It is strange that evga is not able to deliver enough cards. Or is the run for the cards so high atm?
Can't believe there are so man early adopters.

I m more annoyed that they are giving prio to US customers, then retailers and then eu.evga customers instead of just distributing stuff equaly or based on preorder time. Apart from paying the most for the cards, whats the point ordering directly from here if not going to get them any faster than say caseking preorders which sell at the exact same price too.

As uncommon as it may be, I'd love to see some actual numbers. Something in the way of orders they received and maybe a bit about how many they are able to produce every day. Who knows, maybe we will be told.

Not trying to bust your parade, but EVGA is stationed in the U.S., and the cards are manufactured in Taiwan. If we are to look at this at a logistic stand point... Boats are so much easier to ship when coming from over seas VS using an airplane, cheaper, easier, and less issues occur (even though boats take longer, they're still cheaper and easier). With boats being the choice to ship out from Taiwan, the U.S. is closer, and not only that, they probably have easier methods due to custom and import laws. Mainly, due to it taking less time to ship to U.S., they will send them there first, because all they have to do is go straight to California from boat. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE.... EVGA headquarters is stationed in Brea, California (in the U.S.)

But as a company, which acts globaly, it should be the target to distribute the hardware even to the different areas, just balanced by the awaited numbers of soled cards. And if they are not able to fullfill every preorder, they should even balance the markets and not leave out any totally.
As I wrote before... Here in germany most resellers get one or two cards per day... Maybe. And not more.

Latest reports from industry insiders suggest that Nvidia’s recently-released Pascal based graphics cards, namely the Geforce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, are selling excellent. However, the unprecedented demand has apparently caused product shortage, with majority of retail outlets running out of stock. It’s been around a month since Nvidia launched the new GeForce cards, but there are numerous buyers who are still having a hard time getting their hands on the cards.
