Got notified for 3657 on Apr 27 and decided to let it pass (the only reason I'm upgrading from GTX-1060 6GB SC is for RTX, and IMHO, the reviews appear to show that the 3060 Ti is well worth the extra $70 over the 3060 for that purpose).
 
MyNotify says: 12G-P5-3657-KR  2/25/2021 9:50:55 AM PT, which matches up pretty well with Enewt's latest update.
 
Good luck to all!

Do you happen to know, or have the ability to look at the MyNotify HTML, and see what your notify position is?  Someone was talking about this a few pages back and now my curiosity is piqued as to whether that means anything.  In the HTML (view source) there is a part that says:
 
<input type="button" value="Remove Notify" onclick="return removeNotify('???????','12G-P5-3657-KR','2/25/2021 9:50:55 AM');">
 
I am curious what the "???????" is for you.

Good morning all I have a Spin to Save wheel question,
I have just registered the sweet little SFX modular power supply I will use for my upcoming ITX build. That enabled me to become an elite member (please don't respond with how easy it is to become and elite member...) Anyway, upon competing the membership there's the Spin to Save wheel. Is there a time limit on using your spin? Like many I'm waiting for my spot in the queues to come up and I'd prefer to use it whenever my time comes.

Boy, lot of good discussion the last day or 2, sad I missed it.  Sounds like just what is needed to burn off the excess energy between queue drops.  2 week countdown to the next price hike, hopefully we see some movement in the right places (or any place, to be honest).  Good luck yall.

apochromaticenvyWhen I look at my remaining Notifies, which say "Notify Sent" = "No", there's a line for each of them, but none have anything where you show "'???????',".
Instead, they all have ..."return removeNotify('PART NUMBER','DATE ENTERED');"> and nothing else between.

Damn time limiting in-between posts, well-played EVGA.

I always get hit by that since I can’t figure out how to multi-quote. (Viewing on the phone 95% of the time)

Do you use the mobile or desktop version on your phone? Because the mobile version is NOT GOOD. lol I usually use the desktop version and then multi-quoting works just like on your computer! :)

If this turns out to be true, we are heading to better future?
Then again....

Expect it to be cracked fast maybe even by Nvidia again.

Crossing fingers from EU as well 😁 But one question : are the queues different than in the US?

Sounds like it's a physical change to the chips.  However that doesn't mean it's not crackable; just depends on what they changed.  If they changed the chip where it has a bit of silicon that's a flag to say "hey i don't do crypto" then presumably bypassable since software would check for the flag and software can be hacked.   On the other hand if they changed the chip by cutting/changing some circuit paths that impact crypto but don't effect gaming then... Nvidia 1 Miners 0 game over.

Hopefully this will mean more availability.
 
This will likely scare off two groups of people:
- Gamers who couldn't comfortably afford the 3080Ti without subsidizing the cost with mining.
- Small miners who can't afford the risk should the limiter be unable to be bypassed.
 
But, these groups won't be bothered:
- Gamers who can easily afford the 3080Ti and aren't bothered to mine.
- Miners who can afford the risk should the limiter be unable to be bypassed, and happily hold onto the card while they experiment in workarounds.
- Scalpers, because more money!

dont forget the scalpers, even if the miners dont go for it, demand is so high right now.. 

 
IIRC, the architectural changes AMD made to RDNA2 is why they are garbage at mining.  So, it's very likely nVidia made subtle architectural changes to this end.  Would be a much better solution that a software/firmware bandaid.

Nope! Software can not be hacked if it done right. Actually it is simple: chip can provide some data(every time different) to the driver, driver should make some calculations and send result back into chip, chip check result and if it right - unlock mining. To make this unhackable, Nvidia must move calculations to own server and driver should ask server to do it. In this case they can check if it request from legit developer. Because you can't get algorithm to transform data, you can't hack it.
