Received the e-mail as I was looking at Gmail and immediately clicked the link to add to cart, and when the page refreshed it was sold out.
Don't rely on the auto-notify I guess, seemed to have been sold out by the time the e-mails were sent out. ;-;

So I guess when we get the "FTW3 in stock" we are just assuming its US?  Doesn't seem like EU has much of a look in atm.  

Follow @EVGA_JacobF on Twitter and sign up for his tweet alerts, he always tweets as soon as the cards go up for sale.  Much faster then the actual Auto-Notify email. This round of cards lasted 6 minutes before sold out.

For people in the EU looking to purchase zotac cards... apparently they are having problems as well unfortunately. A lot of these 2080ti cards have failing memory or it's running too hot and it dies... Nvidia FE has issues along with Gigabyte and now Zotac.

I'm glad I returned my Zotac card when it was just a coil whine. The temps were pretty well controlled, but 74 C did feel a tad too much with just OC scanner profile. Can't even imagine what would've happened if Tensor and RT cores were fully engaged.

I think majority of issues with EVGA ultra at the moment are BIOS and firmware related, and EVGA is committed to maintaining their reputation, so I think it'll be resolved in a reasonable time.

The auto notify is hilarious. I guess it would be decent if there was enough stock.  I finally took the advice and followed Jacob on Twitter.  I will get me a card by Xmas hopefully =(

I would still like to order one. Anymore this week?

Based on the recent trends, I think there's good change there will be more this week.

Don't mean to gloat, but I've finally managed to snag one up at the fourth attempt... I had to work from home to make this happen. Gotta admit I'm not proud of myself for that.

Congrats Dongle!
Gotta do whatever it takes sometimes, haha
I'm jealous but I'm certain I will get one within the next couple batches.
Then it will be time to sell my 1080TI. 
Seems like prices are going up on the used ftw3's so hopefully I can get a few hundred from it.

Best of luck to you, man. I was just surprised the pre-orders went up at 2PM Pacific like Friday. I was expecting around 5PM pacific like the other times before. Based on this I get the feeling that they’re expecting lower production turnover for the foreseeable future. Only reason to make them available so early on is that they’re confident they can package everything up by the end of the business day, and don’t expect any more to be available ready for shipping the following morning.

I should be getting mine this Thursday. I’m excited. Though I wish I’d get my 9900k sooner. Damn B&H.

i do notice that two membanks are a few degrees higher than the rest... but all within reasonable ranges... all fans spin when cooling with auto...
 

People are reporting 45 vs 75. That's a few degrees in your case too?

Got mine yesterday and upgraded from a 1080 FTW2, I uninstalled the old OXC, removed the card, put new card in, let NVIDIA do it's thing checked for updates there.  The down loaded 3.4 and started running games on max settings.  I have had no issues no fan stoppage and LEDs seem to all work fine.
 
Have no overclocked and won't for some time, I am pushing max frame rate on Black Ops and WoW with max settings on a 27 inch 1440p.
 
I would not that with an i5 8600k and 32gb of 3000 ram I am bottle necking load wise on my chip so recommend and i7 or i9 with this card to get the full potential.
 
I am water cooled on my chip and my card at 80 percent load did not get hotter than 62.  Damn near 0 noise.
 
Oh and without changing anything the card is running at 1965 MHZ while playing black ops.

EU pre order update: week 7 reply

Thank you for contacting EVGA support and extremely sorry for the delay is shipping those orders due to limited supply.
However good news for your order is expected to ship out latest by Friday.
Once again we apologise for the delay in shipping out those pre-orders.

 
Not sure why they would put any up for sale on the website until pre-orders were filled.

The preorders have all been fulfilled, the issue with the EU orders are they are stuck in customs.  Once they clear customs you guys should be getting your orders.
