The amount of SKUs is just laughably ridiculous now. They keep coming up with new ones and abandon the ones that have been in standby for months and months now...

The two new cards and the one they are activating the Notify me for...
 
3070 Ti XC3 Ultra              
3080 Ti XC3 HC                    
3090 K|NGP|N HC

My 3070Ti delivery was delayed from tomorrow to Thursday.  Do I call my Congressman directly about this or is there a process? 

I thought we called the president directly...

3070 Ti XC3 Ultra Gaming (3785) - Presumably the same cooler as the 3070 Ti XC3 Gaming (3783) but will likely be priced an extra $50-$100 more and the boost clock on the chip will be like 50-75 Mhz higher if past releases of this kind are to be believed.
 
These chips weren't quite good enough to be put into FTW3 cards but were better than your average XC3 chip so they add another SKU and charge you a bit more.

Ive heard evga is not binning their chips for xc3 or ftw3... so better off buying cheaper one. what will make most difference in my experience is the ftw3 with higher power limit vs xc3 which is limited to 2 8pins vs 3 on ftw3. the more power u can get to the card the higher clocks you can reach. now voltages, those will depend on silicon. but my 3080ftw3 will oc to 2265 mhz... while the xc3 3080 in the pc i built for friend would max stay around 2100 which meant it was pretty good bin. so my point is... get whats cheapest, results will vary based on power you can provide. also if you plan to power mod the xc3 should be able to do at least 500 watts.... im not saying im correct but this is my own experience.

I am guessing $699

Just wondering how soon people will start complain about it 
 

That's enewt's code.. so kudos to Carfanatic for not being selfish.

The 3070Ti FTW3 only has 2-8 pin connectors as well unless the pictures on the product page are lying. If they aren't binning their chips to make this new SKU the only reason they would be producing it over more FTW3s is if there was some other more premium component of the FTW3 board they had trouble getting a hold of. As I've never had multiple cards of the same product family to compare to one another I have no idea if a FTW3 vs XC3 board is usually different in terms of capacitors, mosfets, etc.
 
The most obvious differences for having more SKUs then is binned silicon quality and availability of the cooler components.

That's correct, got my 3070Ti FTW on Friday and it has 2x 8 pin connectors

Yeah thats what I'd assume. Paying a $100 premium for probably only 45 Mhz of factory boost clock (1815 is the right in the middle number between the two current offerings) sure does seem like a bummer though :P but this is the way of the world currently.

dont forget they had to charge for the ti label aswell....lol

If you're gaming at 1080p with a 3080, then you have to remember that the limiting factor is going to be your CPU.  
3080 is really all about the 2K or even 4K.  The 3080Ti and 3090 are excellent at 4k, but the 3080 is good too.

Can I ask what 4K gaming monitor you're using? I've been looking at Asus and LG for one. Really want to play Doom and Flight Simulator in 4K, especially now with the TOP Gun DLC.

hey man im using the lg 950 and its a champ i got one on sale at best buy because some one returned it and the other was msrp at microcenter but they are defiantly worth it. just a warning though 4k will ruin you for anything else lol although if you want to push 4k i will suggest a 3090 or 3080 ti as to the other cards just for vram sakes some games do want more than just 10 gbs espcially at max settings. 

Thank you! Been looking at the 950 LG. I like the price point. I'll grab one when I find it in stock.

My purse strings aren't so much the issue as it is a matter of perceived value that always just irks me a little. $599 gets you from no video card to 3070Ti XC3, another $100 gets you a couple percentage points of performance uplift. Another $100 gets you a couple more percent and that fancy RGB lighting. This isn't just an EVGA sales thing its just the way I am; I like good bang for my buck. :P I'll look to pick up whichever one of my queue tickets get called though of course.

This is how I am as well. 

Product page for the 3070 ti XC3 Ultra is up.
 
Edit: Yikes, $700. Looks like they're just filling in the gap between the XC3 and the FTW3.

The 3070 ti is now listed but no notify button quite yet!

Got lucky here ngl
Best of luck to the rest of you !

I didn't even see the notify button for the 3090 Kingpin HC

 
ONCE AGAIN I CAN'T REACH ANY GPU PAGE WHILE MANY OTHERS ARE ABLE TO... OFTEN DEPENDING WHICH COAST YOU LIVE ON (I'M ON THE EAST COAST). SO SICK OF THIS BS.
 
Anyone know if the 3090 KingPin HydroCopper queue opened up again?
 
 
 

No luck at all. Lol
