Are you saying that's the same card as the reference card, only with a custom cooler? The one I preordered has no SC or FTW in its name, but all I see people talking about are those two.

Open test bench and Jayz is one of EVGA's golden marketing boys so he most definitely got a binned cherry-picked card. Do not expect to get this performance/temp inside a case.
How long would delivery take? After the cards officially release or on the day of like Amazon?
Well we don't have an actual release date yet. Once it's actually out I'm not sure. I picked Canada Post Expedited so shouldn't be too long.
Reference card with custom cooler, and a higher core clock (factory OC). The one you got is probably the same exact card (Reference PCB with custom cooler), but no factory OC. I guess the cooling solution could be somewhat different as well.
it ran at 2000Mhz, and stayed under 70 degrees. I mean, even in a shitty case, you're going to be at under 90 right?
FE cards throttled in open benches at their boost clocks. This bodes well for custom PCB cards. Hoping for some benches soon.

The cooler is definitely better than the vapor chamber blower, and definitely bodes well for custom PCBs which are priced around FE prices. The FE is, truly, a terrible value.
I bought one anyways because I'm impatient and want to get a waterblock slapped on it and be one of the earlier peeps to have a full custom loop running with one, though

Man I didn't know we had so many PC enthusiast-level spenders here. Nice to watch everyone casually tossing around $900 card purchases.

That's not so bad actually, I bought it for $200 years ago lol.
Also JaseC always uses Saoirse Ronan for the one asking.
Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. She recently did a handful of short promo videos for Red Nose Day USA, which was yesterday.
He doesn't do any fights at 4k, he shoots in empty corridors and explodes a couple of barrels which do nothing to your fps anyway. Near the end you can even see him trying to walk through a doorway, possibly to a fight, and it abruptly cuts away into an empty space again. I've played doom a lot, I'm pretty sure his fps would drop below 60 in fights and the game is nothing but huge fights.
Ah, thanks. Had no idea it was the same person in that Brooklyn movie.

You are.
1070 FE has been confirmed to be 499 from what I've seen, so you should see good AIB cards a little below that price point.

GTX 980 was 549 Dollar, and 560 Euro.
1080 is 699 $, and 800 .
GTX 970 was 329 Dollar, and 340 Euro.
1070 is 449 $, and 499 .
Boh.

1080 is $599 and 1070 is $379 unless you're talking about Fail Edition reference cards which no sane person should buy for these prices.
I still feel that 1080 is overpriced at $599 though as chances are that the next family will have the same GPU and performance in one year for $400.

Don't order from Scan.
They fucked me over, I've paid extra for delivery tomorrow pre-12pm. I've not received any e-mail confirming it's been sent and a metric tonne of orders have been delayed.
Avoid them.

From what I've seen they are coming out in 1-2 weeks.
Reference 1080's?

Glad to see the 3rd party models will be out so soon, was expecting at least a month or two. I've been happy with my PNY 780Ti but am open to a different maker this time around (Asus maybe?)
Read the thread title.

To anyone in Australia - I've also been keeping an eye on the exchange rate. Plummeted to 0.72US cents this month from 0.78 cents... even that six cents move is about ~$50. something to think about, if you are watching your costs. I'll be getting my card when its around 0.8 cents.

I want to believe but why wouldnt people just wait and get a non fe if its so close?
I wonder how much they'll cost
June 10th is in two weeks, but we still don't know anything about 1070's other than the FE.
Because people are impatient as fuck, that's why.
Something better and cheaper is not worth waiting a little bit more for.
And prices for stuff is already out there on most sites now.
0.8 US cents? That's wishful thinking
I can wait!
Gotta wait anyway for reviews and benchmarks and stock to arrive in Amazon.I've got a 970 at the moment, and its really just The Division in 1440p which is pushing it hard at the moment.
Any particular reason why Europeans don't just import from the US? Do you pay VAT on imports?
Yes, atleast here in Germany. Not really worth the trouble.

Yes you have to pay VAT. Average of 20%, different per country.
0.8 US cents? That's wishful thinking
Oil price is up from $30 a barrel in February this year to $50 a barrel now and the US dollar has in general a correlation with oil prices...im kinda bullish that the AU will go higher soon.
But take this with a grain of salt.jabberwocker

But when do reviewers get 1070?

They already have them.
On top of VAT you sometimes get hit with random custom checks and charges.
If the customs men see it then there is vat and then an extra charge for the type of import, and then likly an extra delivery charge.
Though in my many orders from HK I've never been hit with anything other than the delivery charge.
The other option is buying on on holiday where you just walk through customs. But its illegal an immoral so nobody ever ever does this.
In my case, +20% VAT, and then +10% customs charge on entire value of the package [package+shipment price+VAT], and then processing charge. ~_~
Importing HW from US is for normal price is possible only if someone personally goes there, hides the GPU, and not report it when going back.
