So, I just got the notification to buy the 3080 XC3U Hybrid, but what I actually wanted was the 3080 FTW3U Hybrid.
 
Any ideas what I could actually do with this?  Is it possible to "trade" notifications with someone somehow? Haha
 
I already asked EVGA if swapping was possible to the card I actually wanted was possible and they told me nah.

No, because a ton of people are in the same situation and EVGA would need an army of people to handle all the swappers.  Your best bet is to buy the card and if you really want the FTW3 later, offer to trade yours with cash to someone else for the FTW3 hybrid later in the forums. Someone would likely take you up on it.

Any guesstimate as to what percentage of buyers added their info to the tracking spreadsheet?
Also, I just submitted my info for the 3090 FTW and XC Hybrid.  9:21am... nothing to get excited about.

i already received link to buy ftw3 hybrid.. i am surprised!!

Enewt I don’t think I applied your associates code correctly because I was moving so quickly to have my order placed. How much was I supposed to save by using it, 5 percent?

5%.  It is tough to remember in the moment.  If you click on the Associate’s Code's link, it should set a cookie on your device so that it will auto-populate.  Sorry, EVGA doesn't rewind the purchase just to get the code entered.  I hope you enjoy your card!  Congratulations!!!

It’s not a problem! I entered the code but I don’t think I pressed the apply button next to the bar lol.. I’m so excited

Purchased 3090 FTW Hybrid. Got email at 10:23 PST. Ordered 9:14:01 PST.
Good luck everyone!

Got my link to buy the 3090 FTW3 hybrid. I was 9:12 am notify. 
 
Anyone want to buy a week old 3090 FTW3? 

Sadly, no here, my wait continues.  Congratulations on the Hybrid -- invite to purchase email.  Sounds like a tough decision ahead...or not so tough???  Good luck....

Here's an update:
10G-P5-3898-KR 11/13/2020 9:16:02 AM PT
I got my email 12/10/2020 10:09 AM PT

And I purchased it. I did try to use the associate code VDN2319M4O569J4 which is enewt's here in this thread but it said there were no eligible products that code would work with. Tried LMD3DNZM9LGK8GJ (idk whose that even is) and it worked.

If you're curious the costs you're looking at:


Product Price Discounts Quantity Total Price
EVGA 10G-P5-3888-KR GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING, 10G-P5-3888-KR, 10GB GDDR6X, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate $779.99 ($39.00) 1 $740.99
SubTotal : $740.99
Sales Tax (6.08%) : $45.07
Shipping (UPS Next Day Air Saver) : $53.70
Grand Total : $839.76
Using Associate Code (LMD3DNZM9LGK8GJ), you saved $39.00!
 
edit: Oh, figured out where that code came from: https://forums.evga.com/E...uch-More-m3081219.aspx

I am in the same boat as you, I am going to let the 3090 go and wait for the 3080 hybrid.

Not so tough! I bought it. Enjoy the EVGA bucks .. I used your code for last week's purchase and this week's.

I’m sure if you toss it up anywhere fir a non scalpers price it will sell pretty fast

Yup. Non-scalpers price for sure. Actually, I'll be selling for less than cost to buy it locally.

Guessing that fraction is a fools game.  I guess less than 100%.  

Used your code! Thanks for all your help in these forums.

Thanks for your kind words and for using my Associate’s Code for the 5% discount.  
 
I hope you enjoy your card!!!  With the time you have left to wait for the UPS truck, dust your case.  
 
Enjoy!

I can't wait to get my notification for the 3090 Hybrid! Although the site was under heavy load, I was able to get into the queue only after 20 mins.

I wouldn't worry too much about that time.  There are likely gaps in the registration timelines today due to the website going down.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  Best of luck!
