Even though the Fe says "great" on the evga site I think the ACX3.0 version will actually be better. Think it's just marketing. The specs are identical minus cooling.

So weren't the 1070's supposed to be available June 10? I'm not seeing anywhere I can get one yet. But I'm retarded, so there's that.

Get your poopsock out and start camping:
NVIDIA GTX 1070 Pre-order & In Stock TRacker - NowInStock.net
If it follows a similar pattern to the 1080, only the FE's will be available for the next week or so, and then after that the companies start rolling out their custom cards, which will be better and cheaper. And they pretty much all sell out within minutes, so it might be a while before places just have them sitting in stock.

Acer was on sale last week for $599 on newegg which was a decent price I thought! Acx 3.0 cooler is quiet as well in my micro system as well which is nice

My 1070 is in from evga, the acx 3. 0 SC model. Gotta send mine in for it, hopefully that doesn't take more than a week

did you do the step up program? thats not bad if you get an upgrade notice like 3 weeks after release
i'm half tempted to go from 970 to 1070 but all the games I am playing right now run comfortably at 1440p for me, and there isn't really a huge list of games coming out this fall I am dying to play. By the time Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, and Deus Ex rolls around I will see what video card options there are, by then at the least the 1070 should be on discounts and rebates and come with free games and shit. I just realized none of them even come with a free game right now, HAH the thirst is still very real

Free games are how they avoid price drops on hardware at the end of its life cycle. If you think you're being a smart consumer by trying to get software with your cards, boy, you're naive.

It looks like inbetween a 970 and a R9 390, which is exactly where they said it would be.

OC settings seem good. Great price point for a card. Driver updates may get more out of it.

It's also $199 and wasn't claimed to be 1080 competitor. For that you need to wait for their Vega chip.
Still waiting for that 1080ti.

Well, it competes with the 980 on a few games, so it's probably between a 970 and 980 overall. For 230, that's pretty stellar. I guess it depends on how far the price drop on the 970/980 are.

After waiting five weeks for Amazon to ship my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW I canceled it and got the non-Overclocked version of the ASUS GTX 1080 Strix from Newegg (aka FE but with the Strix cooler). It sucks but at this point I am a angry at EVGA given that they've been posting new 1080 FTWs on their website while Amazon pre-orders aren't being fulfilled.
Given what I know about Amazon, there is a reasonable likelihood that EVGA going to be blacklisted as a supplier over this.
