Screw it I made 2 business accounts at newegg and ordered a MSI GTX 970 on both to get the $30 off each. Came in a little under list price after bs tax and shipping.

Gave up on amazon getting a evga in and ordered the msi gaming from the egg
Amazon sent me an email today with an update about my EVGA GTX980 order.Gave up on amazon getting a evga in and ordered the msi gaming from the egg
I'm still waiting for my pair of evga 980 sc's from amazon. Cyntech if you don't mind me asking when did you order yours? Mine was on 9/20 and i haven't received anything yet.
That may have worked out in your favor
Pretty disappointed that it took Newegg more than a day to get my MSI 970 out the door and onto a truck, it really should've shipped the day I placed my order. Maybe it's their way of incentivising people to pay for them to "rush" their orders, which is something that's never sat right with me. Fortunately I decided to pay extra for two day shipping to ensure I'd get it before the weekend. If I hadn't coughed up that extra $15 I wouldn't have even gotten my package until next week, which is ridiculous since I ordered early on a Tuesday.
That said, this is the kind of upgrade I'm looking at, so it's hard to be sour.
I ordered the Evga GTX 980 from Tigerdirect and my order will be fulfilled by a 3rd party. I'm hoping this isn't going to end up being a nightmare..
I don't have the post count for hot deals..but the Zotac GTX 780 Ti AMP Superclocked is looking interesting @ The Egg for $430 no rebate + Borderlands, That is if you're missing the GTX 970 that you want. If you can do the NewEgg Business deal...hmm.

Well shit. I just ordered 2 from them. I feel a little giddy. Its still true that the EVGA SuperClocked versions aren't worth it right? I ordered two vanilla EVGA GTX 980's. Whoa i need some air lol

It doesn't say. It's basically the roll of the dice. This happened to me before and it actually got delivered the next day. I read other stories where it's a nightmare tho.I'm about to pull the trigger on one...who is the 3rd party?
Let me know what happens with your update status. I've read that the vanilla and SC aren't binned. Other then that, I believe it's the same exact card, with the exception that the SC is guaranteed to have the stable factory overclock.Well shit. I just ordered 2 from them. I feel a little giddy.

Btw dont forget to use the $15 off coupon and if you have a Discover card use the 5% cash back Shop Discover. That's mainly the reason why I went with TD.

Is it greedy to already be thinking about ordering a second MSI 970 for SLI?

Sigh, looks like I won't be getting to play with my cards until I'm back from vacation. Amazon hasn't restocked on any 970s that I'm aware of. It makes me wonder how Newegg and even TD have restocked everything at least once or twice now, but Amazon has seemingly yet to get anything.
Thats because Amazon takes orders when out of stock, I'm sure the high demand stuff wont be in stock any time soon. I ordered a GTX980 shortly after they were posted on Amazon and its scheduled to be delivered tomorrow now and as far as I know the Amazon page has not shown them as in stock at any point in time.
