The MSI 970 I ordered this morning from NE now says "OUT OF STOCK. ETA: 09/23/2014". I sure hope my order made the cutoff!

Is yours shipped at least? Mine is stuck at packaging like a lot of other users here.
does Best Buy stock high end video cards?...I have a $300 gift card which I'd like to use on the 970

So much for regional shipping! Mine just shipped from Industry, CA so it will have to travel cross-country. Looks like the first batch is shipping from the west coast. As they get more stock they will probably be able to ship from the regional warehouses. Now I'm glad I paid extra for two-day shipping!
Nice, just got a FedEx tracking number from NeweggBusiness but it arrives Monday. Can't wait.
Is the EVGA web store down for anyone else?

Just got my tracking from them too. Unfortunately, it's coming from CA and I live over in VA. Gonna take about a week to get here I'm sure.
Seems to be that they are shipping from wherever they can without much attention to how far it has to travel. I'm in NY, and basically anything I order from Newegg comes from the NJ warehouse, but my 680 is coming from Indiana. Another member here on the forums however said his did ship from NJ.
My guess is that different warehouse got different SKU's. Just a guess though. I got the two day also, so hopefully getting on a truck today means UPS will do their thing and drop it off Monday.

Yep that sounds about right, first EVGA GTX 980 SC I ordered around 8am EST from NE shipped out of IN. Ordered a 2nd one about 25 minutes later and it is shipping out of CA. I got Shoprunner 2-day for both, so hoping I get both on Monday.
The highest they go in-store is somewhere around $400ish range, so maybe 970s. They also get Nvidia branded cards, which Nvidia only seems to do for BestBuy to fill in the void left by BFG's departure from the market. They also have a few EVGA and PNY SKUs on the market, but I don't think either of these board partners focus their high-end stuff at BB due to low sales volumes. I was in a BB today looking at the iPhone 6 for my wife, and there was no sign of the Maxwell cards.
Personally I'd try to unload the GC at a 5-10% discount to someone looking to buy a console and then buy a GTX 970/980 from Newegg/Amazon with the proceeds.
I am looking to either order the 980 evga acx 2.0 or msi gaming. When do you guys think we will see non reference 980's?
why would they launch on a Friday, this is so stupid having to wait the weekend for shipping
Yeah, when I originally ordered from Newegg it was from IN but my reorder from NeweggBusiness is originating from CA. Going to be a long way to MA.
I think a gigabyte one was already floating around newegg for 620$
Picked up a GTX 980 at Microcenter NY. They had 5 EVGA 980 SC and 5 EVGA 970 ACX. Also they just got in 1 Gigabyte 980 and 2 Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming.
The one in Yonkers?
evga, gigabyte, and zotac 980s in stock now at newegg
The Zotacs aren't really *out* of stock anywhere, its funny with that brand, people seem to avoid it. Example TigerDirect sold out of all their 970's and 980's today, the one card still in stock is the Zotac. Same with Amazon.
They really should change their name. The name Zotac doesn't really inspire anything good
