Hey everyone,
 
How are some of you able to snag one of these cards off newegg or other places? How do you know when they will pop up?

Newegg puts stock on their website at 5PM PST Monday - Friday. I have been on the site ~5 minutes before each night for the last 3 weeks. I finally got one last night.

Save your address and card information (or paypal or whatever) to your profile ahead of time so checkout is quicker.

Did you refresh a single item or search for something? Refresh the FTW3 Ultra page or keep refreshing a search for "3080", etc. 

I did a search for RTX 3080, then put the price filter for $750-$1000 so it didn't show pre-builts or those cheap cases that keep popping up. Once the time rolled around, I refreshed with Shift+F5 (It doesn't refresh using a cache, so it pulls new info from the site) Usually the first one will appear within the first minute or so of the hour.  I then did my damnedest to get through checkout as quickly as possible.

I also had my Wife helping me in the hunt, so we were both doing this every week night for the last 3 weeks or so. She was actually the one that got it in the cart and through checkout. I've had multiple close calls. Just keep your payment info close by and ready to be re-typed and you can do it. Good luck in your searching!

Just wanted to share so you know I'm not pulling stuff out of nowhere. Lol. Goodluck all, I'll probably step away from the forums for a while!

 Congrats man that's awesome!

Some good tips here. Thank you.

Anyone know when best buy usually restocks? Trying to get my girlfriend a 3070 there since I have a 10% birthday coupon that's good until the end of the month.

Best Buy usually restocks Tues - Fri, mostly before 12 PM PST

Thanks!

BTW my card has the black accents so I was super happy about that.  It looks really nice.

 
Congratulations on your new card!  Your watch is over.  Collect your belongings and see the valet about your horse.  
 
Enjoy your new XC3 Ultra!

Non-holiday weekdays only. We are likely to get emails Monday, Tuesday and, probably, Wednesday morning next week.  Orders received by EVGA after 2 pm on 12/23 will not ship until January 5...they will be closed for the remainder of 2020.

Hey guys. Quick question.
 
In case the 3898 takes forever and 3899 comes out and I get my hands on it.. Will this setup below work?
 
cooling solution:

RAD and tube:

FTW3 Ultra HC:
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3899-KR
 
Basically getting a 3898 with a few extra steps.

I don't believe that the MLC Phoenix is compatible with the HC cards natively. But you might be able to setup quick disconnects for the HC to connect to the ones on the MLC Phoenix. I'm a bit out of my depth on this.

How is it I added the base 3070 to queue on 10/29 under an hour after launch, and they've moved 9 minutes in 2 months? Are they not making cards or just not selling it on their site? 9 minutes. 2 months. meanwhile they make new SKUs

Same boat my friend. It’s crazy how high demand is. Just where we’re all at....until demand is satisfied or at least a larger chunk taken out, this is the game. Or you can hope you happen to hit F5 on Newegg at just the right moment to snag that add to cart button before the bots do.

Best of luck, and so sorry it’s a terrible wait. I’m at 6:35am 9/29, that 9 min queue has been stagnant for a while.

Congrats to those that picked up a card via Newegg or whatnot in the last 24 hours - as always I would wait til you receive it to remove yourself from queue, see the Amazon debacle earlier this week where cards were "available" then all orders were cancelled - though I doubt Newegg will do such a thing.
 
I do wonder if they have any plans to do Hybrid-cooled 3070s, doesn't look like it, which is kinda sad since we've had Hybrid coolers on the xx70-series cards for the last 3 generations or so if memory serves.
 
I'm still thinking about the Kingpin purchase... and possibly picking up an NVLink bridge just to do a few days of SLi fun before I resell the regular 3090 Hybrid... $90 is a steep price to pay for some personal benchmark records though.

I do not think the 3070's need that much cooling, do they?


What I've seen of the hybrids is that they keep the boost speeds way more stable than the air coolers.
 

I'm signed up for the 3060 Ti XC3 at December 1st 7:13 AM and the latest email sent is 7:04 AM according to the spreadsheet. Do you think I'll get an email next week?
