After upgrading from a EVGA 980SC and installing the 3080 FTW Hybrid that I finally got last week, I can't lie..... The frame rates are a little underwhelming. I was expecting a little more for ≈ $970. Oh well, maybe I will cave and pay another $60 for the latest Resident Evil game so I can at least check out the RT capabilities of this card while I wait for gaming applications to catch up with latest generation GPU's. I also had to buy a new 850W PSU because the old card has dual 6-pins and the 3080 requires three 8-pins. Any PSU under 850W is probably not going to cut it, even if it's < 2 years old like the 750W that I just pulled out of my rig.
 
Boy, am I glad that I didn't go for the 3060/3070. That would not have felt like much of an upgrade over the 980. 

100% the same feeling here. I went from a 1080 SC to a 3080 Founders. I am a big proponent on playing all games on max settings. For an upgrade that was rated at over 100% increase in power/capabilities, I am maybe getting just 25% more frames at best.

 
I'm curious what CPU and memory you two are using. I know my brother had a 3400G CPU and when he upgraded from a 1660 Super to a 3070 he was only seeing a little bit of FPS improvement. He had a MASSIVE CPU bottleneck. On top of it not allowing x16 lanes of PCI-e, it was also just having a big overhead issue where the CPU was just not able to feed the GPU enough information. Things that improved his performance until he upgraded to a 5800X (which really unlocked his 3070): making sure XMP profile was on for his memory, making sure BIOS had his PCIe slot set up as PCI-e gen 3 (this can be 4 depending on CPU/motherboard), setting the power usage to "maximum performance" in the Nvidia driver utility (check the 30-series troubleshooting page for more info on some of these), but really it boiled down to the 3400G just not having enough power to unleash the RTX 3070. He put in a 5800X and now his frames are dramatically higher than before. If you look at your CPU and GPU utilization while you're gaming and your GPU isn't at 99-100%...you have something else going on.

I am on an 8700K on a z370 EVGA FTW board. Nothing overclocked. 16GB of 3200 Corsair vengeance RAM. 750W PSU. XMP turned on. Two NVMe drives, most games on a Samsung 970 Pro.
 
I play on Max settings all games at 1440p. Not sure about the PCI-e thing since I am not familiar with that stuff.
 
I have used Afterburner with Rivatuner to see the stats while running and nothing is maxed out. 

I'm running a Ryzen 7 3800X 4.0Ghz on a ASUS Strix X570-E MB. 32Gb of Ram. 2560 x 1440p.
 
I will check the PCIe but I doubt that's the issue. Games like the next Forza racing series and GTA6 that will really make use of the 3000 series capabilities are still 1-3 years away, so my first impression will likely wear off down the road. I also paid too much and waited a long time to get the card, so that could be factoring into my first impression as well. The 980SC could barely handle the really busy areas like Athens in AC- Odyssey, and the game would sometimes become unplayable during the conquest battles, especially if it was warm in the room. The card would get hot and the fans would respond by whining which is why I have sworn off air cooled cards from now on. The 3080 handles AC- Odyssey pretty easily, so it is a significant upgrade. I messed with the settings some more and, yep, I'm getting about 46 fps on ultra settings with native resolution and refresh rate. Resolution modifier is maxed at 200%. The 980SC would have crawled in a hole and died if I tried to run it on those settings. If I turn the resolution modifier down to 140% I get 48 fps. Should I be getting better frame rates? IDK.

So I ran the benchmark with a 3090 and 11900K.  200% resolution modifier at 1440p = 48 FPS

Running at 1440p with 100% modifier was 94 FPS.  At 4K it's 71 FPS.

I would guess that we are hitting a CPU limit because with the 200% the modifier it's only using 7Gb of VRAM

Yeah, people have been getting that error. You can try temporarily switching to a different browser (ie Firefox vs Chrome), using a private / incognito window, or deleting cache / cookies. People usually get a result from at least one of the above. Otherwise it can go away by itself. For tomorrow I'd have a second browser ready to go, or a private window if you can test that that worked for you before things go live.

 That happened to me the other day. I cleared my cookies and cache then went back to the site. Got the same message; refreshed my browser and then I was able to get into my account. Might have been a fluke for me but that was my experience. I have not heard of an official drop for tomorrow btw; just rumors.

 
He's talking about this announcement:
 
Calling EVGA ELITE Members!
 
Tomorrow (Tuesday 6/15) at 9AM PT we will have the following SKU's activating for the EVGA Queue system: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 KINGPIN HYDRO COPPER, 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA HYDRO COPPER, 3070 Ti XC3 ULTRA.

miseri
So does the thing tomorrow open at exactly 9 pst, or a few minutes earlier/later? Anyone who's done the previous drops know anything about this?

Right at 9 am pst

so i just did auto notify for 3070ti so will i have a shot tomorrow ,i think im elite member.

Thanks for that. I missed that announcement. Good luck to those needing those GPUs!!!

To clarify, are you running at 4K with a 200% resolution modifier? That might explain it... I would leave that at 100% if you are at 4K. I don't think you'll gain much fidelity by setting it at 200%, and you're likely to see a big performance hit. It's about equivalent to running the game in 6K, I believe (or 8K? I think it's 6K). It's super-scaling, is what I'm saying. Kind of overkill at 4K. Even 140% is taxing.

Nope, I'm running at 2K. I updated the BIOS and GPU driver. The most noticeable difference is that the fans got a lot quieter. CPU performance increased, but GPU did not. I don't want to pay for benchmark software, so I downloaded Novabench. According to that program, my CPU is faster than most other Ryzen 7 3800X's, but only about 15% of RTX 3080 users are benchmarking lower than I am. I don't know why. When I play AC- Odyssey it seems to work really well.... much better than the 980SC. 

Very strange. I'm out of ideas. 🤔

Hello
I signed up for notifications for 3080ti, I have email confirmations but I don't have them in my account. In evga account i have only notifications for regular 3080. is this normal?

Good Morning everyone...
Its D-Day here (dig day) today as the local sewer runs thru our property and there is a kink in the pipe. I wonder, I have a few dead drives here and some other dead...umm, Things, yes things I wish to bury. No not bury, recycle, that's it, maybe I could make use of the hole to Recycle some things. 
 
Best of luck today folks I hope the queues keep moving and that the EU gets a good share out as well. 

What are the links to the products coming up today again? I can't seem to find them. 

3070 Ti XC3 Ultra isn't up yet, but it will be https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3785-KL
 
It's different than the MSRP model 3783

ok thanks

You could try clearing out the drivers with DDU and doing a 'clean' reinstall of the drivers.

May as well give them to you before someone slaps a few dozen associate codes in the links LOL. Good luck.
