I did December 9, 2020: 24G-P5-3978-KR and have yet to get the email to place the order; what is taking so long, why are not things going faster. 

If you aren't aware of the state of the PC component market, currently all sorts of components are hard to come by due to extremely high demand and extremely low supply. This is especially true for next generation graphics cards.

Edit: I've seen you post numerous times complaining about not getting an email. Complaining on here over and over again isn't going to change how soon you can get one, there are people in line ahead of you so you are going to have to wait like the rest of us.

Here is the latest North American queue summary.  You still have a bit to wait, I am afraid.

To say that that all PC components are in high demand is a false statement, I would say it's primarily only GPU and to some extent CPU, outside of that, no; that you are wrong.  And as for the complaining, I understand people are ahead, but like a ticket system, you have a ticket and you know how far behind you are before your turn comes; there is nothing wrong with wanting to know when your time will come.  
 

Alright, thanks; hopefully within a approx. a month 

well that is great news. then most probably i will get a mail this week or the next week. thanks for the information.

Will the 3080 FTW3U Hybrid drops start again tomorrow as well?

Until @EVGA_JacobF says that they are dropping (usually on the day the emails are already/about to go out), nobody not associated with EVGA has any actionable information on drops.

Ah, gotcha. Let's say they started up again today. I got in the queue for the FTW3U Hybrid on 12/16 at 9:10:47 AM. Any guess on if I could get notified before the 12th? (I talked with Jacob on Twitter, and he did say that they have still been making cards during the break. Hopefully that means more cards per-drop?

12/16 for the 3898?  By January 12?  Unlikely.  But, again, 100% speculation on my part and I hope I am wrong.  Best of luck!

No FTW3U Hybrids this week.  
 
I assume that means both 3090s and 3080s.  This is a blow to the gut. 
 

Sounds from a JacobF tweet that the next FTW3 hybrid drop will be next week.  

I wonder if they are delaying to keep the number of hybrid step ups to a minimum since the 3080Ti is rumored to be announced next week.

I am more worried that they are delaying things to get pricing sorted out since every other AIB is raising their prices.

Would be a real disappointment to get a price increase right before getting the options to purchase.

$2,400 Stimulus check, don't judge me :P

Based on tweets today from Jacob, it looks like next week for hybrid cards at the earliest.  Has there been any official word on price increases and how they'll handle those already in the queue?  
 
Based on the known notify emails I missed getting into the Dec batch for the FTW3U Hybrid by one second.  I was fine with waiting until the next batch since I'm still trying to secure a CPU, but if that means the GPU price is increased over 10% (plus applicable tax) I'll start looking elsewhere for cheaper SKUs.  Here's hoping they continue with current pricing and see how things play out.  :)

No Hybrids dropping today (per JacobF).

So I also am in the queue for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra at 9/18/2020 8:15:20. According to the online spreadsheet, I should get to order it on the 11th. Think that sounds semi-accurate? I just want to make sure that I get my card before the end of the COD:CW promotion.
