Same here, ordered very early but still processing, sent to warehouse. Maybe since the threads linked the SSC version (which I ordered) they got hit too hard, while other models shipped out asap. I did a direct Paypal transfer and bought 2nd day air in hopes, but no luck yet.

To be honest, companies like Buy.com and other huge online retailers have very good inventory tracking systems. If their just refreshed website says it is in stock, I should be guaranteed one when I order. There wasn't "maybe" some in the back, the database is linked to the web server.

Ordered a superclocked. They haven't contacted me. They should tell us what's up officially instead of holding on to our money and acting like nothings been ordered.

 

[misle]

I ordered a PNY. Backordered.

Anyone know if they are actually going to fill the backorders or will they be canceled?

If someone picked up 2, I'll happily buy one if this one gets canceled!

SSC is still processing for me...I got a 750w PCP&C PSU just for a card like this...

Edit: Just shot them an email asking where my SSC is, if it's been shipped or not. We'll see how this pans out hopefully...

I'm still in processing, it's now been three full business days since I ordered and nothing.

If you used free shipping like I did, it typically takes 3-5 additional business days beyond the normal "usually ships in 1-2 days" fulfillment. So, figure 4-7 and err on the later side. That's just how it's been with them for over a year now. Frankly, I'm not expecting an update either way before next Tuesday 1/20 (Monday is a holiday).

I ordered a evga SC got it today.
Order Number 45029xxx

Got the SC Version with Far Cry 2 already included. Nice card had issues because needs 4 power plugs from the PSU but yeah after unhooking a hard drive i was good to go.

13.xxx 3DMark Vantage Points and 17.xxx 3DMark 06 is nothing to be ashamed about with a single Videocard.

Rub it in...

 

[Dolfan349]

I ordered standard (3-5 day) shipping. I also paid with a Buy.com account, and my card hasn't been charged yet.

 

[GZeus]

Still hopeful....but not optimistic.

 

[njdevilsfan87]

They are ALL back ordered. I just called and asked. No ETA either. I'm going to give them a few more days for ETA then cancel.

 

[Billyzeke]

Doesn't look good. Congrats to those that got theirs. According to the benchmarks I don't think it would have been a huge increase over my G92 8800GTS 512 except in Crysis which I played a year ago. At least not at the 1680 X 1050 resolution that I play at. Still would like to have got one at this price though.

Mine still says pending "in the shipping process"

Anyone else seeing this?

Neither did I, be happy you got the card, most didn't.

 

[Insomniator]

I think the only reasonable and fair course of action now is for them to send us GTX 285's :thumbsup:

 

[imported_msatchmo]

can a mod please lock or correctly update this thread? I'm sick of clicking it every few hours thinking this deal is back up (as stated in the title) ;-p

It's cool if you guys want to chitchat to see if anyone actually got the card but this deal has been dead for 3+ days and should be marked as such.

thx

One of the symptoms of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time :laugh:

I just got the same backorder email about my SSC, which I ordered very early on when the deal was first available.

 

[proroc]

I just got the backorder email and I ordered my SSC at 6AM when the deal was just posted.

Does anyone have the phone # for buy.com? I want to cancel my order

 

[jlin101]

I got the same email. Interestingly, the SSC is still "in shipping process;" thus, cannot be cancelled according to the notice (not that I would anyway). Hopefully Buy.com will find enough cards for these orders. Last time I ordered something that was backordered, it got cancelled by Buy.com after several weeks.
