I’ve decided to pass on the 3888 email and wait for my 3897 queue at 9/18 11:45am instead.

My 3888 time was

Good luck to the next few people behind my time.

True gamer.

Been loving EVGA for years now. Never knew this Notify-Reservation thing was a thing. Won't see a card until March from the looks of it.

Waiting on my 3987. Sign up time was 10/7/2020 1:27:49 PM PT.
 
Hopefully any day now :)

EVGA is unique in its careful consideration of how to treat its consumers; no other AIB has had a consistent queuing process or other anti-bot effort this fall.  They've really gone above and beyond. 
 
Best of luck!

I like your avatar. Will be using your Assoc code for everything EVGA. From now on. -Stan

Thanks.  I do appreciate that.  Happy holidays!

Welp, was hoping to see a larger 3897 drop today. Last week gave me hope, this week is starting to make me lose hope.

Tell me about it :( I gave up on a 3888 just so I can get the 3897. And 4-5 hours away :(

I'm here, in the back, patiently waiting since I only entered the queue for a 3080 FTW3 (10G-P5-3897-KR) on Dec. 11.
It's gonna be a looooooooooong ride. But I'm in no hurry since I'm roughly at least 2 months early before my build.
 
Good luck to y'all. I wish AMD had the same queue system for their CPU (especially) and GPUs.

I am debating hopping into the hybrid 3080 queue tomorrow to improve my positioning for specifically a 3080. I have a brand new Corsair 4000x case and already have a Corsair h100i elite ready for my 5800x. I was planning on an air card but now thinking if I can do a dual AIO on the Corsair 4000x. Is it possible to exhaust the CPU on top, also exhaust the GPU on the lower front two? This would result in an intake on the upper back and top front.

That particular config is probably not the best idea.  You would basically be creating a LOT of turbulent airflow by pointing 2 intakes right at each other right across all of your motherboard heat generation.  As someone mentioned, there is a part of this thread discussing that a couple or so pages back.  In a nutshell, the better option would probably be to have the CPU front mounted pulling air into the case and the GPU up top exhausting along with the rear fan exhausting out the back.  This keeps the airflow moving.

Omgggg, one more hour to decide.... 3090 FTW. If it was the XC3 it'd be a slightly easier.

Yeah :( If the 8am on the community sheet is as far as the notifies got today, I'm 2 hours and 46 minutes away.

Me too im like 2 mins away from 3080 xc hybrid and since my case cant accommodate another rad, it looks like im gonna wait for the 3080ftw 3 ultra as well. Im at 1051pm of 9/18 so much longer to wait. Who knows maybe the 3080ti will be out by then and ill restart the wait again! Good luck!

Hey everyone, never posted here so excuse me for any mistakes but how far did EVGA reached in terms of notifications for 3080 FTW3s? Signed up since 9/22
 
Thanks in advance!

They are currently looking to be at 8:00 AM PT on 9/18

Since we are talking hybrids and queues, if I buy a Hybrid 3080, do I still have the option to step-up within 90 days?
Thanks yall!

Step up works for any and all -KR SKU GPUs that are bought from authorized retailers (obvious eVGA.com is an authorized retailer, lol) - just keep in mind, you would only be able to "step up" to either the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, or if it comes out in the next 90 days, a 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra (most likely that's the model they'll put on the Step Up queue).  You will not have "options" in terms of model, there will be one SKU only for reach card on the list, that's how it always is - just letting you know that bit of information.

Oops. I meant to include that. It's 24G-P5-3987-KR.
 
I'm not buying it. I had a chance to buy one the day it released and decided not to do so. I have a chance now and I'm still not feeling it. The shipping plus taxes pushed the price all the way to $1900. I entered the queue sitting on the fence but I think I've decided not to get it. Good luck to everyone in the future.

RIP you didn't use an Associates Code for a literally free 5% off?  Mine came in at $1846 shipped thans to $90 off from using someone's Associates Code during checkout (and having 4 EVGA Bucks to put towards it, otherwise it woulda been 1850 shipped).  
Funny part is I paid for UPS Ground & got it Monday when it shipped Friday.  $25 shipping ftw.

Is it possible to exhaust the CPU on top, also exhaust the GPU on the lower front two? This would result in an intake on the upper back and top front.

As I've told many others, highly recommend mounting GPU radiator up top as exhaust & CPU radiator up front as intake, if you cannot fit both up top as exhaust, reasons are in this post:
 

If you have the GPU radiator as intake, yeah you're going to get slightly cooler intake temps for the GPU radiator, but you're going to have higher temps on the entire rest of your system from venting demon-air exhaust from the GPU radiator in to your case.
Having the GPU radiator top mounted as exhaust is going to be much better for people that have small cases & can only do 1 radiator at the front as intake and the other at the top as exhaust.  The CPU radiator (unless you have a Threadripper or HEDT Intel CPU with high core count, as I said before) is never going to be putting out as much heat as the GPU radiator if they're both under load, because regular gaming-grade CPUs like the 9900K & similar, top out in the 170-200W of heat/wattage output - GPUs range from 320W (if you're running an XC3 3080 Hybrid) to 420-500W (3090 Hybrids).  With AIO/Hybrid cooling, the GPU radiator will always be the warmer of the two, so having it setup as exhaust is better for the rest of your system, and having system air as intake isn't going to raise your GPU temperatures THAT much. 
You might idle a degree or two warmer, and load temps might be 2-4C higher than they would be with fresh intake air... but is that worth your M.2s, CPU, RAM, and the rest of your system being 5-10C+ warmer?
I've measured the temperature coming out of a Hybrid cooler radiator before with my 1080 Ti, had a thermocouple sensor that connects to my motherboard setup to read the temperature coming out of the Hybrid Radiator, then used that temperature to control the "push" fan on the GPU radiator's speed, thusly increasing fan speed only when the GPU was under load.  I saw that air temp get up to 34-38C at times.  Imagine how hot the rest of your system will be running if your intake-case ambient air is 34-38C.
 
That's why I recommend folks do GPU radiator as exhaust & CPU radiator as intake if they only have room to do a setup in that way.

 
Congrats to everyone on their cards that got one ordered or arrived today!

Sigh just can't justify a 3090. Hope it goes to a good home. Good luck all! my watch continues.
