Dear EVGA Tech,
 
Question: Will the EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N and the EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED Motherboard's be available on the european market on launch date? specifically to The Netherlands?
i would really like to use an evga motherboard for my new up comming build becourse i'am really in love with the EVGA brand and would love to support it more, but the availability for evga motherboards to The Netherlands is not present at this time.
the strange thing is that other evga products are available trough retailers like megagekko,alternate,coolblue,amazon.nl in The Netherlands but almost no evga motherboards hit our market.

Lol im in the same boat as you im also from The Netherlands back years ago you could order easily from EVGA.EU located in Germany. But for the last years their shop is rubbish its a ghost now. My first real gaming rig was with pretty much everything EVGA their MB their GPU and their PSU and since then i stick with EVGA.
 
I am also very interested in one of these new Z790 mb's and hopefully i can buy them in EU to... BUT i hope EVGA wont ask insane prices Kingpin looks premium so to expensive for me. But hopefully the dark version is less expensive. Any word on pricing yet?
 
TO EVGA:
Please make sure these Z790 motherboards can be bought in Europe and hopefully your new ATX 3.0 psu's will also be available in due time in EU.
Even tho you stopped making GPU's (i miss them already!!) i will still support your MB's and PSU's!

The Dark is the KingPin, it's the same board. Your options are: Z790 Dark KingPin, or Z790 Classified.
 
The Z690 Dark KingPin was around US$800 when it launched, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Z790 Dark KingPin launches around the same price. I think the Z690 Classified was around US$600 at launch.
 
I have noticed the EU store has been without stock for several years now. They list new products, but never seem to have any stock. I have to wonder if someone on the inside in the EU is buying them all as soon as they arrive and then scalping them - it seems strange they rarely have any stock of anything. :(
 
 

Any idea on what the price would be?

Maybe ~$800, same as Z690 Dark KP.
 
 

Any insight on if I plug in a PCI-e 4.0 x16 device into the first x16 slot, and a 5.0 x4 device into the second x16 slot, will that cause the first x16 device to go into x8 mode?

Still no insight for availability in the US? I'd like to use a classified for my new build but I'm planning to finish it be the end of this month.

Yes, if you're asking about the X790 DARK K|NGP|N.  It would be better to look at it as whether you have a PCIe device in one or both slots.  If you have only one PCIe device across both slots, then the slot where the device is will run at x16 speed.  If you have a PCIe device in both x16 slots, then it will run x8/x8 as any other Z790 board will.

I know the feeling. I prefer EVGA but MSI and ASUS already have their mobos up for pre-order on Newegg with a ship date of 10/20. Meanwhile EVGA is just hyping with no date in sight...
