EVGA got FE in stock. And they got a custom blower for 609$.

Danish retailers got quite a lot of custom cards. They sell like mad.

EVGA stock ACX 3.0 is ~635$ here.

MSI got 4 blower type (3 custom) cards and 3 dual fan.

I just stepped up my evga 970 sc to 1080 sc. This will likely be the last part I ever buy for my i7 3770k rig. Only had three days left on the step up!

The Evga versions will come on June 6th.

However expect them to be sold out like the FE cards are now very fast.

Looks like this one won't be in stock until the 15th of June though (if I'm reading the site correctly).

Although waiting another 3 weeks is hardly the end of the world

Amazon has it listed as the 6th, i did customer chat and confirmed it.

Yeah...waiting for these to be released. Grabbed a FE today but re-sold for ~$450 in profits. Planning to use a 970 or 390 to get me by until some better 1080s are available.

Better wait for 6+8-pin or 2x 8-pin after-market cards. Amazing someone bought an FE card for $450+ over retail.

NCIX Canada has them for ~$790 USD after taxes. More than 10 EVGA FE cards available. Almost $800 USD for a next-gen mid-range 16nm card. Pretty easy to skip that for me and see where AIB 1070 land. I have a feeling AIB 1070 cards will be 90-95% as fast as a thermal throttling and loud FE card for a lot less $. From what I am seeing, even the $650 USD AIB 1080 cards have a single 8-pin connector (EVGA ACX 3.0), making it a no buy. As I feared we will probably not see any decent $599 AIB 1080 worth buying -- just garbage blower designs (MSI Aero, etc.) based on reference PCB with 5+1 VRMs and 8-pin connectors, effectively a $599 AIB paper launch unless anything changes. NV's ludicrous $699 MSRP for the FE ruined it for the consumers since AIBs can sell a $650-700 1080 without effort against the FE card.

Those Gigabyte 1080s look ugly, but Zotac continues to improve gen after gen. Good job.

Your link is showing out of stock for me, unless it's showing different on the non mobile site.

Are you sure that is also for the ACX version? Right now I can only find the normal FE version listed on Amazon for EVGA.

Either way that doesn't really help me here in Denmark.

Bought two Founders Edition cards from GeForce.com this morning.

Ah that's a good feeling. Congrats. I remember doing that with the 980ti's. I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. What a love story. I might hate the 1080, but I still love the excitement that comes with getting new GPU's. There's something unique and special about it.
Give the boxes a good sniff as you open them, and stick your nose right over the exhaust fan and juuust inhale the power and glory right into your fleshy lungs. God I love that.
Are you going to water cool them?

No water cooling, these babies will keep their original coolers. I will probably overclock them to as far as they'll go on the stock cooler though.

Looking at EVGAs website. They have 3 editions that list clocks. The ACX 3.0 gaming edition runs boost at 1847Mhz. There are 2 models above it. I imagine the top model should push boost clocks to 2Ghz. The top models have 2 and 3 bios each. I imagine these custom bios will allow for raising of throttle temps.

You will get less clocks but its going to kickass anyways lol. They will wreck everything even at stock, hard.

Yeah I finally got to the products page by going through their forum, for some reason the homepage is stuck on the error page.

I was able to purchase at around 10est this morning. Was working, and just kept refreshing on my personal machine and eventually got through. It took some time...

In stock, 1 left @ BC, NCIX Warehouse. Had more than 10 available when I posted per the Real Time stock checker on their website. You sure you were checking NCIX.com not NCIXUS.com? NCIXUS.com is all sold out. NCIX.com (Canada) shows, EVGA, Asus and Gigabyte in stock:
