No reason not to keep your backorder unless you get one coming sooner.

I'll hold onto it. Try for a fe or evgas own website.

Yeah, this was a week ago lol. Check the date

You guys think it's worth it?

Heard on another site they were looking at November.  Yikes!

I'd love to know how anyone supposedly heard November when several people here have only been told they have no ETA.

Another option, jakob has even said this will work, buy a card from them or a retailer that would be eligible for stepup and just register and immediately get in the step up queue for a 3080 or 3090 FTW3 Ultra or whatever card you want.

The downside is you have to pay to ship it back to them so there will be some extra money paid and wasted on shipping for the stepup exchange.

Like cdw, you may be waiting a month or two plus for a backorder at this point

Depending on when you placed the order CDW is going to take a lot longer for most people. As of right now you can still preorder various cards there; it’s higher than msrp but I doubt that put many people off, can only imagine how big the list is at this point. If you’re just preordering today I could honestly see it taking until early 2021.

Nice! Glad to know they are authorized sellers as well. I just ordered the FTW3 Ultra, paid $25 for 2-day shipping. Hopefully they get stock as soon as the FTW3 is released.

Noice. Just make sure you come back to EVGA and grab the extended warranty within the 90 days if you are going that route, which I hope you are. 5/10 years for hardly peanuts works nicely.
 

Great tip.  Definitely worth it for the cost.

As long as sites like adorama have been taking backorders I cannot imagine how long it will take for cards to arrive.

What? They literally only took orders for like an hour for less than 1,000 cards across ALL EVGA SKU's. Some of you guys should read through the whole thread before posting lol.

SHhhhhh, don't show them the secret handshake.

 What do you all make of this? should I consider canceling my backorder?
 “EVGA has seemingly confirmed that issues with a certain type of capacitor could be a contributing factor to an increasing number of reports of crashes associated with factory-overclocked Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards.”
 

EVGA was correcting this issue with the 3080 FTW3 which is why there was a delay in shipping them.

Its going to be a long backorder

As Bayshun suggested above:
'many... hours... later...'

Any update on your Adorama back order?

The only update they will give any of us is they have no ETA on when they're getting cards.

Guys we need to not spam Adorama's poor support workers every day, alright? They know already. All we can do is wait.

Holdout, you can do it.

Any chance EVGA would start taking backorder orders/reservations?  That would spare a lot of us sitting in front of the computer for 16 hours a day trying to be not in the bathroom the moment they drop a few cards.

For what?
