Any idea when this may drop again?

I'm at 10:00:23.

Nobody outside of EVGA knows. Full Stop. 
 
In the past, Hybrid and HC drops go weeks between "new" (i.e., not straggler) drops.
 
Best of luck!

Pretty sure that the only people that really wish for the 3080TI to be announced are the ones who didn't queue early for the regular one (3897) when it was released, and now see a chance to be put on the same level, from scratch again, with all of us that have been waiting for 7+ months way before them.
 
I personally really hope that the TI doesn't come out anytime soon and want the 3897 to continue instead. I didn't wait 7+ months just to have to restart my waiting from scratch again and be put at the beginning of the line again with those who arrived late to the party just because they decide to phase out the 3897 in favor of another model from scratch.
 
So yeah no 3080TI thank you: just stop with the new SKUs and focus on the goddamn ones you can't even fulfill since the Setpember 2020 ffs!

My sentiments exactly!

If they somehow allowed the currently queued peeps first crack, without messing with our queue positions, then I’d be okay with it.

You're taking his words literally which isn't true. When the 3080 ti arrives, it will be a new SKU that you can queue for, your old queue spots remain untouched. He's voicing his frustration that if a 3080 ti comes, his 3897 somehow dies which simply isn't true. 
 
If you want a guaranteed card, notify in the 3080 ti queue when it opens up in like <10mins and they'll probably ship it that same day.

Good point, the 3897 won’t die, but I’d still feel cheated: having to wait so long, and when you finally got the opportunity buy, the product is down a tier level...

Queuing up and getting a 3080ti on release day or even soon is not guaranteed. If you could transfer your queue position, it would be fairer IMO.

Apparently, some 3090s/3080s showed up on B-stock just an hour ago. That's surprising.

I was registering my 3090 ftw3 ultra and saw that a 3090 ftw3 ultra was in b-stock... had to get it for my buddy. But it error'd out. Then 3080 ftw3 ultra shows up, so I got that and it went through! A few hours later, I noticed both the 3090 and the 3080 already charged me and have shipping labels. Huzzah bstock and the timing.

When you'll spot 3090 in B-Stock, then you question will be perfectly valid

Ay! There was a 3090 FTW3 Ultra in Bstock, I was able to buy one. Curious how it got there :D.

You can't really talk about time stamps before they announced the queue system at the start of October.
 
No one knew about it, and if they did everyone, including myself, would of queued up on day 1.

Well, given that we are 7 months since launch and the queue has only advanced 4 days, it seems that a LOT of people knew. Nobody had to tell them to click the "auto-notify" button.

you are right, they knew getting a notification about the cards being in stock would put them in a queue in a couple of weeks.
 
Hindsight is 20/20.

It's not about hindsight. If you are lurking on the EVGA website from 9/17-9/20 and you see the auto-notify for a card that you are interested in, why would you not click that button?!?! It makes no sense. It was already well known by 9/17 that a chip shortage was on the horizon. I have a feeling that at least most of the people who are complaining about other cards "stealing chips" from the 3897 were late to the party, and I mean really late. That's their own fault, but it's not like it was a fatal mistake. They had other chances to improve their situation by getting a better time stamp in queues that went live after the 3897. Everyone had the same opportunity to get a card, and a lot of people did. It's not right to be upset with people because they were more on top of things. We all know how it feels to be on the wrong end of that deal. All you can do is learn from it and move on.

Explain how you felt cheated. You didn’t front money. All u did was typed a few keystroke and evga was nice to take your interest with an offer when supplies are available. If u just sat on the queue n expected a card , tbh u didn’t try hard and just went for a unicorn of a card. Kinda like all the folks who went for asus tuf cuz of 699 and they sat search for months without a card

I already explained why I would feel cheated if that were to happen. Yes, when the queue is offered, I expect to be able to just sit on it and get a card. The queue was graciously implemented by EVGA, to get cards into the hands of their loyal customers (I presume), so why wouldn’t I expect that?
