7 days now rocking this new 3090 FTW3 Ultra without a glitch. Some heavy gaming every day. So far so very good !
With my overclock of +143 on GPU it boost to a constant 2100 MHz with GPU temp not exceeding 60c whilst gaming.
Upgraded my VR Friday from a Rift S to the higher resolution Reverb G2. The card is doing great driving the new Reverb G2 as well! Getting my turn in que for the 3090 was great timing for me.

Happy for you! Unfortunately I've had a few problems with intermittent black screens and programs being shut down, and this isn't even when gaming! I'm going to try a full clean install of windows as a last effort to resolve. The card still operates after these black screens, but it's feeling like it's only a matter of time.
 

 
 
Good luck today everyone still waiting patiently (or not so patiently) in the queue.
 

 
 

Just got back from picking up my case, mobo and CPU from Microcenter here in Houston.  There were 25 people sitting outside the front door all waiting to see if any 3080 or 3090s showed up today.  Guys inside said it is like that daily there!  Just wow!
 
On the topic of Microcenter, what a bunch of deceptive jackwads.  The guy that was "helping" me (read: when and retrieved what I asked for out of a locker) was trying to upsell me on buying the MC warranty for $50 on the CPU and $70 on the mobo.  I said no.  Then he started fast talking a bunch of BS that was complete misinformation.  CPU and mobo warranty are lost if XMP is enabled.  BS.  Warranty is lost if you watercool.  BS.  I wonder how many folks ignorant of the facts are getting fleeced by these jokers!  I doubt I'll ever set foot in that store again.

Yikes.  Sounds like the later days of Gamestop...where it was all about the secondary sale of used game and the scratch warranty and other crap.  
 
Are you sure the folks outside were waiting for 30 series and not AMD cpus?  I would think that would generate the longer lines these days...or they were waiting in line for the AMD 6000 series (please tell me that was NOT the case).  People have too much time on their hands...Retail is a scary place these days....

May have been both.  I doubt the MC guys asked all of them but they were pretty certain at least a portion were waiting for 30 series cards.  I now have everything for my new rig except a GPU.  And the rest of my watercooling setup which I will order shortly.  Can't wait to upgrade from my i5-2500k with a 1070 to my new i9-10900k with a 3090!

You better factor in a wait for the GPU block if you are planning to water cool that. :/

I am planning to watercool it.  But given the issues you and others have had, I will probably start with it aircooled and plumb it in later if the card is good.  I'd hate to tear it down, plumb it in and have it die a week later.

Agreed.  That is a lot of work if the card turns out to be questionable.  If I had more confidence in my tear down skills, I might go that path....
 
Good luck!

You're a stronger man than I, dalten!

10/6/2020 9:32:24 AM PT - Got notification today for this, but I'm going to pass most likely. 

I hope you have another auto-notify invite-to-purchase email coming your way soon.  That is a tough one to pass up....

I managed to get a gigabyte 3090 from Newegg awhile back so it's not urgent, I'll probably sell it though and get a XC3 or FTW Hybrid card if/when I can though.

Yea I got the emailtoo. Now I'm deciding too wait it out for the hybrid. As the Asus tuf 3080 I got doing just fine. And the 3090 dieing got me holding back Might wait for a fix. Got 6 hours to decide. 🤔

Congratulations on both the email and the delicate decision to wait it out for the card that you want.  I hope the continued wait is a short one.

Whoa, wodell getting the email indicates a dang big drop today!  Last update was 11/12, spot 363.  Wodell is number 412!  Woohoo!

wodell's registration was at 9:12:30. The queue moved to at least 10:24:41 (at least two hours and 10 minutes today (possibly more)); a decent sized drop!!!

On the spreadsheet, wodell was at 9:12:30 PM!  That's more like 12 hours!

What date and time is the 3987 on? I put in a notify on 10/6 shortly after 6 PM.

Are they still working on send out notifications? My notify date was 10/6/2020 3:07:53 PM PT for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra and web shows no notify email sent. I am #394 on the spreadsheet? Checked all possible mailboxes and nothing.. 
 
 

Mine say they haven't been sent yet.

Oh man so sorry to hear that, hope it all gets sorted soon!
