On review of the spreadsheet odds are high I am going to get the notification to purchase the 24G-P5-3987-KR card this week. It is nearly a $1000 higher than the card I really wanted which is the 10G-P5-3897-KR. I am not sure what I am going to do. I will be installing it on an EVGA Classified X99 mobo with an intel 5930k cpu and that seems to be major overkill. It has 32gb DDR4 ram, HX750i power supply and a H80i water cooler. I do not plan on upgrading the mobo and cpu for another couple years or at least until I can get one with a PCIe 4.0 slot. 
 
Anyone else purchase the 3090 FTW3 Ultra for a 5 year old rig? Would this be a total waste of money? Thoughts?  
 

Just play your games in 4K. Problem solved 

Well actually I can I forgot to mention I recently bought the Samsung Odyssey G7 32" monitor that will handle it. That is why I am even looking for another video card.

That resolution will put all the pressure on your GPU, so any bottlenecks by your older parts will be minimalized. No sweat!

theres no word. Really, I think the fastest updates we can get is participation in the spreadsheet. its really a great way to check whats happening.
 
personally, im so excited to be like 30 spots down on the queue! I am sure there are many more people between these 30 spots but its super exciting nonetheless. I was getting ready to buy a 2060 or something just to get rid of this 750 TI.
 
CANNOT WAIT

I was looking for the RTX 20 series too and actually got a couple notifications but I did not purchase them because I read an article about the RTX 30 series release. I am also fairly close in the queue for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra but dang that price is high I need a new card though. My 980 GTX SC can't handle my new Samsung Odyssey G7 32" monitor. Can't turn much up in Warzone with only 4gb vram.

XC3 notifications will not be sent for weeks.  You're better off signing up for an FTW 4 weeks later.  No profit to be made on the entry level cards.  Absolutely ridiculous.    

Read two posts above you...they're just starting to go out

Ultra's, yes.  Blacks, no.  

Yikes....Unless I have something completely mixed up,  I just found out that apparently there are two completely different spreadsheets:

Same spreadsheet. One is for editing and one is read only 

Are there more XC3 Ultras coming out this week? I thought he said it was going to be a huge shipment... not 10 cards..

damn that's crazy! that day was a blur lol. hope you get your email tomorrow!

Let's give it another week minimum before we declare that the XC3 queue is stalled. I've seen more evidence of the XC3 family of cards getting emails this week than any of the prior weeks since the queue process was announced.  If I could sing 5% as well as George Michael, I would break out with "Faith".

10G-P5-3897-KR 9/17/2020 7:50:03 AM PT Yes

Got the email at 2:50PM 10/20. Thanks!

You might want to take another closer look at the times on the tabs for each card.  For example the 3080 FTW3 Ultra.  They are completely different names and notify list times. and i dont mean just the seconds.
 

I think you are correct.  My recollection of the day the queue system was announced is that there was one spreadsheet that was started.  It eventually became corrupted and may have had some bad actors that changed some days/times.  A second spreadsheet with a different google docs address was circulated.  It had a similar format/structure, but the data was different. It is my understanding -- but I have not confirmed it -- that the second spreadsheet is the one that is most commonly circulated.  Regardless, I continue to maintain that what is important is the date and time of the last email sent by EVGA that is reflected on the spreadsheet.  We cannot know for certain if the spreadsheet represents 5%, 50% or 90% of the sign-ups. And the percentage will likely vary as we get deeper into the sign-up days following 9/17 or 9/24 (as we get farther away from enthusiasts and early adopters and more into the mainstream who are unlikely to participate in the spreadsheet). 
 
Humbly, my advice is to focus on the date and time of the last identified email from EVGA and not the number of sign-ups between your date and time and the last email....  It is a suboptimal approach to guestimating which day you should be hypervigilant about checking your inbox, but I think it is the best available to us.  

One of those lists has XC3 Gaming "estimated date of email" of 2022. (For a sign up date of October 15th 2020)
 
I signed up for an XC3 at 7:07AM on launch day and I'm estimated to get my email...May of next year?
