I’m guessing no one has the asus tuf edition atm
Have one on order, originally had the MSI ventus, however after seeing some comments on youtube and reddit, I cancelled and found the reviews for asus tuf were raving about how quiet and cool it runs.
Now I wait :(

Yeah i've cancelled twice now, ordered a FTW3 Ultra at like 1am and was placed almost 2000 down the line so i cancelled that due to the wait, then the Ventus went ETA 21/09 the next day so I chucked an order in, hours later the ETA disappeared on PLE, the reviews were pretty crappy and the order hasn't even been processed yet. Sent them a cancel email yesterday. Paid with debit, transactions both left my account instantly and have to wait 7 days to get said money refunded (almost $3000) which sucks.
Hoping the ROG Strix models are out next week and I'll maybe chuck an order in on them. This launch has been terrible, if Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't just around the corner i would have just waited, but i can certainly say i won't be participating in any future launch day purchases, too much confusion.
Whats with the lower number of evga reviews? jaystc which was a really lackluster review where he seem to not give a shit. I just want to see it compared to the tuf and msi trio before my ple order ships(lots of time unfortunately)
Backplate help stop the sag doesn’t it?
It's like a sports bra for graphic cards. Or is that the bracket .....
Out of interest, why is everyone jumping on the PLE store for their orders? For anything other than EVGA their prices are the comparable to others. Considering all the extra orders they're receiving, are people expecting them to get more stock compared to other stores?
Edit: Probably should have asked this in the other RTX buying thread.

Well you can get the EVGA FTW3 for less than mid range cards at other stores. So why would you spend more. People in a rush would sure but Im sure a lot of people will be ok with the wait at that price.
I'm buying an EVGA this time to show support for PLE and that supplier for not adding the Aussie Tax that every other supplier is adding, happy to wait

The sag still occurs because there is no reinforcement at the PCIe connector. So all the weight is borne by the card bracket and PCIe connector/slot. To stop sag, you need a support bracket or mount it perpendicularly with a PCIe extender card.

They could have increased their EVGA pricing to match other shops. We would have still purchased it at those prices. But they didn't and hence we are hoping that they did the right thing this time and we wanted to reward that by purchasing through them (even if we chose not to buy EVGA).
So guys Im in the process of building my very first pc so I’m just waiting on the graphics card – FTW3 ultra .
My mobo is the gigabyte aorus x570 and psu is the seasonic gx -750w .
Will I need any additional psu cables for this particular graphics card ?
If so , I’d just go ahead and start ordering it.
Thanks !

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the ftw need 3x pcie connections and that psu comes with just 2(with 2 split, so four connections), its recommended by nv to have a separate cable for each connection instead of a split from 1 cable. It will probably work fine just more efficient with multicable?
FTW3 ultra ... seasonic gx -750w .
The FTW3 Ultra requires 3 x 8 pin and the Focus GX-750W comes with exactly 2 x 8 pin, so not enough. (Edit: was looking at Focus GX-1000W before)
If you haven't ordered the CPU you should hold off. Zen 3 will probably arrive before the FTW3 Ultra, especially if you ordered from PLE.
psu is the seasonic gx -750w .
They have 3 different GX lines.. Prime, Focus and Core – Which one do you have?

It seems the Gaming X Trio this time around is a bit of a dog. The EVGA cards and Asus TUF are getting much more praise.
It was an EVGA FTW3 that GamersNexus was using for its LN2 overclocking world-record livestream that aired a few hours ago.
About the only complaint people level at the EVGA cards is regarding that red accent piece on the end(s) of the cards. And EVGA are looking at offering a free replacement/cover for it.

They said on their launch stream that ftw3 hadnt gone out yet. So maybe only a few reviewers got the xcw. Gamers Nexus seems to be the only one with ftw3 first look at the moment.
