GTX1080 non-reference Release Date?

[Ari3]

Hey,

So I'm ready to buy a GTX1080 and wanted to know when the non-reference variants are being released? I was interested in the Strix and the MSI Z variant, anyone have any info on these?

Wait a week or two and they'll be there 100%

Ebuyer says they are expecting them to become available on the 30th June

I don't recall seeing any specific dates for U.S in fact some custom boards haven't even released the price yet like the EVGA Classified. They will probably just trickle into the market closer to the end of this month.

So I talked to EVGA right before buying my cards and they have no intentions on releasing custom cards until FE sales slow down.  They seem happy enough with how FEs are selling.

Agreed.  At the time, which was only a couple of days ago, the best guess that CS had was mid June or later, but that depended on where they were with FE sales.

EVGA also said SLI on pascal is limited to 2 cards  

Eumour has it we could see some custom PCBs in upcoming days. But End of the June sounds way too bad.

Haha.  True, but in their defense, so did just about everyone else.

I saw on mindfactory (Germany) website, that custom cards will be avaliable to ship on 16th or 17th of June.

from MSI, there will be custom card in EU in like few days. 7th June or something like that.
