This step-up seems less popular than the 3080, at least based on forum posts. I'm at 8:34 and cautiously optimistic!

Yeah I was expecting a few months of waiting being registered at 8:23 but I've already completed the 5 steps and my old card delivered today. I'm hoping it ships out today and get it tomorrow. Getting a step up 3080 Ti a week after launch 

Well my open RMA page updated to show my old card has been received today but the “estimated ship date” is 6/14. I overnighted that thing with the intent of my 3080 Ti to be overnighted so I’d have my system back up and running this weekend 😒

You shipped the card back via overnight shipping, but did you also request overnight shipping when you made your stepup request? You got to pick (and pay for) the shipping service then.

I'm still waiting on steps 3-5. Hopefully today so I can ship my card out.

Currently on step 2 atm, anxiously waiting to be approved

What was the time of your step 1 email?

8:14 PST on launch day; received Step 2 Email on Monday

Damn. That was pretty early. Was it really hard to enter the step-up queue at that time? given that the site started working fine by then?

Not at all actually! The only catch was the 3080Ti literally wasn't on the Step-up page as an option until roughly 8AM PST. There's no knowing if that's the case this week as far as I'm aware. I tried entering the stepup as early as I could near the 6AM release time, and noticed it wasn't there so I tweeted @EVGA_JacobF asking when it would be live, and he replied when it was up. 
 
not sure if EVGA nukes links but here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/EVGA_...us/1400465580574986244

same i got my step 2 on monday and still waiting for invoice approval. 

Has anyone posted an unofficial step up post for the 3080 Ti yet?

Do you know if we can change our shipping option without exiting the step up queue?

I'd like to know this as well. I didn't have an overnight option strangely when i did my step up. I've completed all 5 steps but would like to switch to overnight somehow.

Jacinto1023
You can't change shipping speed. I tried last time I used the step up program.

I'm still on step 2 waiting for step 3. Today is the third day so hopefully I get the approval. Anyone else still on step 2 from monday?

I'm also on step 2 from monday, where'd you purchase your step-up card from?

dervin3
I got my step 2 monday at 5:18PM EST and step 3 also monday at 9:09 PM EST. I know this doesn't help you guys but I'd assume it was something related to where it was purchased. Mine was directly from EVGA.

I'm almost certain that's the case; I'm sure EVGA actually takes the time to reach out and verify invoices for GPUs to make sure they're legitimate.

I just received step 3-5. Going to overnight my card now. I selected next day air shipping so im hoping it arrives fri or sat

Still on step 2 for me, wth evga...direct purchase from walmart in my name and invoice was uploaded during registration.

Just got my tracking number email. A little pissed it’s not overnight so it’s Monday instead

Would it even be worth trying to get in at this point? Got lucky with the 3070 ti queue and if this would give me a good shot at getting a 3080 Ti in a somewhat timely manner while I use this that would be fantastic
