Hi guys
 
Just wanted to ask, if your an Elite Member and was able to do the Auto-Notify for the 3080ti is it assured that you will be able to get the chance to buy?
 
Also when do we get notified that the card is ready to be purchased?
 
Thank you all

There is NO assurance in fact there are slim chances you will get one because 1) 1000s of people signed up and 2) there is always a chance they will stop making a model u signed up for. I signed up for the 3080 black edition on launch day in September of 2020 and never got notified because apparently evga stopped making those . So tldr is no there are no guarantees

I hear you. I probably wouldn't even have gone for the 3080 Ti, but I am becoming increasingly wary of the 3080 and 3090 queues slowing to barely moving. Linus was possibly right about one thing - why make 3090s when you can make 3080 Tis for much less and sell them for almost the same price? Or why sell 3080s when you can barely improve on them and sell Tis for much more?

I wonder how the 3090 folks feel about the 3080TI. Anyone? The price of a 3968 rubs right up on the low end 3090's. I was surprised by that. When you look at the specs, the price reflects the performance when you compare the two cards. It makes an argument for the 3080 being a better deal though given the rather large price difference. $540 separates the 3898 and 3968 hybrids which inclines me to stick with the 3898 at this point, especially since I am so close to getting one. I guess it comes down to how much future proofing one expects to get for that extra $540. And let's not forget that for another $160 on top of that $540 you can get a low end 3090 with twice as much VRAM.  So many choices. It's a clown car of SKU's.

the 3080ti doesnt bother me personally one bit.its the same old story in the pc world.not going to cry over spilt milk.
my 3090 ftw3 ultra OCs like a beast we'll see how the 3080ti does.im on the cue for the 3080ti as well for the wife. 
but i will say this the 3080 ftw3 ultra will probably slow to a crawl.so the real question is what do the 3080 peeps
in que think of the 3080ti theyre way more affected than the 3090 owners.

I went ahead and got in the queue for the 3080TI FTW3 Ultra for just what you described. I'm less than 8ish or so hours from the 3080 FTW3 Ultra but I have no faith that EVGA will continue that queue. I'm starting to feel that last burst they did is going to be the last we see of that line for awhile, at least in the queue.
