Nice looking boards Jacob. Kinda disappointed that there not DDR4 though....we really should be there by now!

They are nice looking, a little weird/disappointing the Classified isn't Black with red highlights like all the rest of the Classified boards/gpu's/psu.
 
Is black with black nickel highlights the new Classified scheme, Jacob/EVGA?

Trying something different this time

Might look good if future Classified would follow the same scheme, just would be off having a black/black nickel mobo, with black/red gpu with both classified lines.

The Classified and Stinger look nice but the FTW looks like it's using the old salmon pink PCI-E slots we see on the SR2.
 
Disappointed they still won't make a motherboard geared towards gamers. All we see are stripped down versions that might give you 25-200hz higher overclock. EVGA goes to all these gaming events in the US but don't bother to make a motherboard geared towards gamers to promote at those events like all the other mfg's do. They don't make it easy for people to support them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Classy looks nice
 
I think the DDR4 would be reserved for the X boards or at least that's my guess for now anyways.

Did EVGA change the chipset and the colors of the z87 series, and nothing.  I am comparing them side by side and that seems to be the major differences..  headers and everything are exactly where they were on the last gen.  
 
I am not saying this is bad.. It is actually a wise thing to do, as the layout is proven.

According to some other forums, there is very little difference between Z87 and Z97 just SATA-E and a few other items.

I wish chips were backwards compatible with chipsets, lol.

I haven't been able to read up on Z97 yet. I think I will be more interested in X99 next time I upgrade.

I will wait for any other upgrades. But I will keep an eye on the Z97 lineup.
