From what I saw this morning not many at all got it from other sources, only ones that scored cards are scalpers.
For myself I am waiting for the notifies for 12/3/2020 on 3663 but given how slowly I am seeing them move. My guesstimate is I won't see it until fall 2021, or 2022. Now most here are trying to get an upgrade but someone like me , have a desperate need because without a working GPU I don't have a computer.
 

I also was able to snag one.

got a notify for 3665.

Congratulations! Thanks for reporting back to the thread.

Your watch is quickly coming to an end. Enjoy your card!

I think I was able to get one! I was monitoring ShopBLT on the morning of 12/1, and went ahead and placed an order at about 9am PT. Then, about 3 hours later that day, I realized that there were notify links here and so I got in the queue.
 
Anyway, today ShopBLT said my card would be on its way and I should get tracking info tommorow. Of course, until I see that sweet bit of metal in my hands, I'm still staying on the queue, plus I think a buddy of mine might want to get one, so I'll order it on his behalf when my turn comes up. The card I have apparently scored is a GeForce one, so good that it's a decent manufacturer. There's a bit of sadness not to be able to use enewt's code and get an EVGA one, but if I could, I think my next card will be an EVGA one. Happy hunting everyone, and good luck to you all!

Here is the current status of the 3060 Ti queues:

     Card                                      SKU                       Auto-Notify Date/Time 
3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra                3667                     12/01/2020 06:51:30       
 3060 Ti FTW3 Gaming            3665                     12/08/2020 13:24:00
   3060 Ti XC3 Gaming              3663                     12/01/2020 07:04:16     

Good luck today!

Any idea on total 3665 movement today?  I'm at 12/08/2020 15:46:18 and did not get a notification.  :(

I'm at 14:24 and didn't get a notify either. I saw one person in the main thread got their notify but it wasn't a substantial jump from the 13:24 time above. They may have had a stragglers card or two. Might not have been a substantial drop. More likely you'll see a notify sometime early Feb (guesstimate).

This wounds me to the quick.  This also means I may not have a card for my own machine until sometime next fall.  :(

Not necessarily! There are lots of folks getting other cards from other sources or other notifies that are in the queues and will remove their notify. Not to mention there will be supply chain issues for a while but perhaps those will get better sooner. Have a little faith! Keep positive or this wait gets daunting.

While I fully expect the 3665 to come at some point in the next month or so, it's not for me.  It's a belated present for my son for his birthday (today).  For all other SKUs I'm way, way, way down the waiting list, hence the suspicion it will be many months before I get the email notification for my card.  In regards to getting elsewhere, I can't compete with bots and I refuse to pay scalpers' rates for a video card on principle.

Yes that totally sucks! This is supposed to be a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas so now all he's getting is a stocking full of mint m&m's (which honestly go almost as quickly as GPUs in the store) and a print out of my notify times and place in each queue! It will be kinda funny at this point honestly. But yeah, your kid will be stoked when he gets it. Sucks it can't be on his birthday, but the day wont matter. Tell him happy birthday from the community waitlist! I did see the queue moved up at 13:36 so about a 12 minute jump (based on reports back from folks). I'm an hour out, you're about 2 and ten minutes now :) Happy holidays!

Dude, congratulations on the card.  I think it is probably a different manufacturer than GeForce (as that is an NVIDIA brand and not a manufacturer).  I hope it works out for you.  Thanks for being part of this community!  Please don't think twice about the code stuff...I am just so glad you secured a card!  Happy holidays!!! 

You're welcome! I really hope that you can get a card soon, although you'll have to make sure you hang out again around the community from time to time once you get one, as I know that you'll be missed.
 
You're totally right about GeForce being an NVIDIA brand. So I took a closer look at what the item number is and it is 08G-P5-3663-KR. I thought, that looks awfully familiar! And sure enough, it's an EVGA one! Now granted, they did charge me a little extra for it, but I wouldn't say it's excessive. I guess here at EVGA it's $409.99, not sure what they charge for shipping. Including shipping, ShopBLT is charging me $434.46. I'm definitely not complaining, and I'm guessing that's a standard thing for retailers to do; they've got to keep the lights on somehow!
 
At any rate, happy holidays to you!

Do we know about how often restocks happen? I joined the queue on 12/1/2020, 8:50am for a 3667 but am still trying to wrap my head around how to read all these update charts and figure out when I can expect my email notification.

The Ultra hasn't moved in a couple of days as far as I can remember, and do note that EVGA will be shut down until the new year, so other than some minimal invites tomorrow, there won't be any until 2021. The queue line is at 12/1/2020, 6:51:30 am, which means that they have to send invites to all the people that entered the queue for a full two hours before they get to sending out an invite to you. I'm guessing a month or two, but it's purely conjecture. Good luck to you, and hopefully it's sooner than later!

 Right on, thanks for that! I didn't actually know EVGA will be shut down for the rest of the year, so that's actually good to know. Means I don't have to worry about missing the email between now and then. XD

what is your opinion on ASUS video cards, the RTX3060Ti, that is offered at some on line companies ?

what is your opinion on ASUS video cards?

39 series? They’re fine. Don’t have the same superlative RMA process and support as EVGA, But the cards in general are good. If EVGA didn’t exist, I’d be looking at Asus.

I guess I'll tag on to this too, any opinion on Gigabyte 30 Series GPUs?

bots have won this Christmas .. and I refuse to pay the scalpers. It’s a damn shame .. b/c true gamers really wanted these cards !! But they’re no where to be found !! Ohh well, nvidia really dropped the ball on the 30 series launch !!

Not just the bots partook in the slaughter; Newegg will ultimately have me paying well over $500 after tax/shipping/ebay fees for the garbage combo Mobo I managed to squeak out (if I can even manage to sell it at this point)... all for the most basic Asus card (upcharged to 469$ despite everyone else selling it for $430).  If I didn't make nearly $80 on the sale of my 1660 (over market value) I'd be livid...

Not just the bots,  it seems like everyone is taking the big fat opportunity to "exert their leverage" on the gaming sector.     Scalpers,  Ethereum miners,  OEM system builders who snatch up the cards and only sell them in their PC's,  even MSI through their subsidiary company.
And it must have been some big brain stuff to release 2 next gen consoles, a next gen CPU, and 2 next gen gpu architecture's concurrently,  during a pandemic.  I mean I'm not faulting anyone,  but could they have timed more crap on top of each other?   lols

The Vision is beautiful, but not my first choice.  

Yeah that 3080 looks awesome! I was just curious because I've really wanted to wait for one of the EVGA's 3060 Ti's, but I was able to snag a Gigabyte Gaming OC 3060 Ti from Best Buy yesterday and was just curious if anyone had any experience with Gigabyte GPUs before. The three manufacturers that I was told to look at for GPUs were EVGA as the top option, and then Asus and Gigabyte as other good options. Thanks for the input Enewt and for answering everyone's questions all the time!
 
I'll make sure to remove myself from the queues when I actually have the card in my hands. Good luck to everyone else!!

Congratulations on your 30 series!  Thanks for the kind words.  Stay safe and have a happy holiday season!

a few on line merchants have ASUS RTX3060Ti available, what is your opinion of the ASUS card?
