I'm sorry EVGA, i love your products and despite the problems with the first 10 series from EVGA (I got a 1060 with temp issues) i'm still buying EVGA because of the way you dealt with that temp issue (even though i was promised thermal pads and never got them)... but if I don't get my ordered 1080 Ti by mid week i'm canceling my order.
I've pre-ordered as soon as i got the 1080Ti Elite Membership email, in early May.... I was sorta OK to wait almost 3 weeks for it (shipping was supposed to start on the 22nd), but now, almost a week after the 22nd and my order still hasn't changed one bit. Still "waiting to process" or something like that.
I mean, for someone with already 2 1080s, buying an £800 (including tax) is already nuts and was a spur of the moment thing... so the more I wait, there's a possibility a regret and a change of heart. Plus, we know what's coming Very soon.
Sorry for the rant but even Saints have patience threshold.
PS - I mean, all this time waiting and the Kingpin is almost out.... if this takes too long i'll cancel and wait for that instead.
Same here. I preordered the card for almost 900€. Now in the meantime time price of Asus or MSI dropped below 750€. So 150€ more and I still got nothing, since other people have their cards since mid April.
Yes, those price drops are making me think a lot too. I paid the same as you here in the UK (fu***** VAT).
I mean, there's a Ti on the market for $699 now. That's what, almost £200 less (when VAT is included) ??
That's enough for a top of the line 1000W power supply I also need (EVGA did a -10% promotion on PSUs but only in the US. Great
).
I've already paid for the card (the money went out almost instantly on pre-order when other companies only take the money out when items get shipped, but that's not majorly relevant ... and even less relevant if we consumers get the items on time) but the GPU still hasn't arrived.
I've made my decision, today is bank holiday here in England but if by Wednesday the card is not inside my machine i'm cancelling my order. I mean, it's been almost a month since pre-order and 1 week since the promised shipping date (22nd/May). It's just too much. And for someone that does game videos etc it's even worse because by the time I do my reviews and videos, it's already old (ish) news and I lose a lot of views.
As i mentioned above, this was already a spur of the moment thing and all this waiting plus price drops on other vendors is borderline making me regret it.
I'll wait 2 more days like I promised and that it.
PS - I just checked my order again and finally
"Your order has shipped". Hopefully will be here tomorrow.
