Was hoping this was a Launch Party so I could get a free card being a Party Host. :D
 
A more than 2 week turn around time for shipping is piss poor if you ask me. I hope it doesn't come down to that as I'm close to being on the market for a new card... And I'd LIKE to look at these -_-

that explains the push back, Nvidia is cutting this one by the wire. I really wouldn't feel comfortable spending alot of $$ on this right out of the gate. If they are still having bios and cooler issues the day of launch.
I'd wait a good 2 months before picking one up.
 
So, a sort of paper launch for a card that draws more heat, more power, a 3-5% performance improvement over and a hundred bucks more then the 5870?
