didn't jacob say that end of october going to get a lot more cards? or was it a lie to curb people being angry?

Apparently - that would be the 'ramping up' we keep hearing about. I thought it was supposed to start last week. Pretty shallow ramp imho, however I doubt Jacob was intentionally misleading anyone - EVGA can only go by what NVidia tell them. I'm not sure I trust NVidia though...

I see
at this point I'm just considering buying the 6800XT tbh

You're going to be in for a wait for that too.. release date is not until November 18, and I wouldn't be surprised if they suffer the same issues as NVidia with bots and under supply. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 

Jesus, have you guys seen the 6900? I'm actually reconsidering purchasing a 3090..

Best I can tell orders are still running on initial launch day notifications for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra.
I am not holding much hope now of ever getting to order mine in a reasonable time.
I auto notified on 10/1 unfortunately... and this is the only card I am waiting for.

Yeah they are still on day 1, but it thins out very quickly after that. Currently emails have gone out to #119 on the spreadsheet list for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra. A notification time at the middle of 10/1 would put you at ~place #229, so the queue is already more than half way to you, and we keep hearing production is ramping up, so might not be as long a wait as you fear. At least I hope not.
 

#119, man another half a dozen and we are golden Nereus...

Thanks for the info , sure hope that is how it goes.

Seems like on par performance but with probably weaker ray tracing. Benefit is cost and possibly reliability.

Yes... yeeeeeeessssss. Everyone ahead of me for a 3090 should also switch to team read.

Good....Good.....

My brand new 3090 just black screened on both monitors.. I'm at stock clocks. My Supernova 850 T2 PSU is a year old...

Damn that sucks. 

Did it again while I waited on that driver linked in another thread to download.. just sitting idle, nothing but a browser window going...

Do you have x1 open? Try bumping the voltage up.

My nephew got his 3090FTW replacement this morning, 2 hours later red light again, card is dead.
And to all of you doubting, you still saying this is not an big issue?
 

Aww man seriously?! What did EVGA say?

 
Ffs.. and I'm likely going to get an email today or tomorrow for an $1,800 card that's crashing.. I wonder what % are having this issue, and if it's just a software/driver issue or hardware. Might explain the low stock if they are having to use everything for RMAs...
 

I am far away, most likely I wont get anything until late December or 2021. On one hand its good because whatever that is they can fix it, on the other hand whatever that is can hold and snuck up on you at least expected time.

I'm at stock clocks though.. I shouldn't need to voltage tweak a functional card at stock. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm running a new enough EVGA Supernova 850 T2. If that can't run a 3090 at stock clocks, there's an issue with the card design that needs addressing from the firmware update. 

I just did a full DDU wipe and reinstall. It was solid in Watch_Dogs 2 at literally maxed 4k60 settings, for around 50 minutes? Maybe longer. I was letting it idle to test the game when the San Francisco fog rolled in. It was great. mid 50 degree C temps. Then after that it was just at desktop with nothing running.. I had a few black screens when I used the OC profile on precision x... but I disabled that and went to pure stock BECAUSE I had gotten the black screens. Really disappointed right this moment. I am not eating a $300+ loss on restock fees to get another gpu.. but it seems I'm gonna have to use my AdvancedRMA 2 days later, wasting $45.. 
 
Precision X is uninstalled, drivers are uninstalled, wiped, rebooted, and reinstalled. The only change in my system it the 3090. 
Gonna leave precision X uninstalled and see if maybe that was causing a conflict.

I'm seriously reconsidering EVGA
EVGA has very good support and they asked him to RMA like the first one so they are really good in that aspect, but makes me wonder what are they fixing and how long the fix will hold before happen again.
What makes me worried that you can have great card for a year or so and all of the sudden..gone like fart in a thin air.

Hmm, I've always had good experiences with their products. Never had to RMA, but it can happen of course. Back to back though, that will make you wonder whats the heck is going on.

I have several Titans, 2080Ti and even some older cards and all good, that's why this makes me worried and its not something that should ignore.

My 1080 popped on my 4770k within 2 months. That smell was horrible.

If I was using and re-using old parts, I'd figure that was the case. My PSU is well rated for this card.. well rated for any card really. My entire PC is around a year old. Nothing from my 4770K is part of my 9900K build either.. It's not a case of potato parts. 

Cancelled my order: 10/4/2020 12:47:08 PM, Got a Strix card instead from my local microcenter!!
