FINALLY!! that card took a world tour lol, so glad it's here, my first notice is how cute / small the box is, can't wait to pop it in, thank you EVGA and Enewt \m/

My Camel Day hopes were not completely answered, but nor was it completely dusty.
 
Several cards had drops today and it finally feels like the 3080 FTW3 Ultra (3897) -- what I would have considered the flagship card of the September 2020 launch -- has finally hit the gap between its launch window and the Queue announcement window of 10/5-10/6...even though it didn't have a lot of units drop today, it moved slightly more than 24 hours. I would expect it to move about a day or so each new drop until it hits the afternoon of 10/5 when EVGA announced that the auto-notify button = queue registration. With respect to the 3958 Hybrid, I received a bit of an outlier report at 8:47:23 (20 seconds ahead of what I posted below); it may be that this outlier is the true head of the queue, but out of an abundance of caution and because it was so "alone" relative to the other reports for that card today, I did not include it in the summary below (I hope my caution is in err).
 
Finally, thank you to all 58 folks who participated in the Summer Olympic Sport Viewing Preference poll.  Swimming (15 1st place votes), Football/Soccer (11 first place votes), and Skateboarding (8 first place votes) took the top three ranked-choice spots. To the one "conscientious objector" and one "None of the Above" voters, special thanks to you for taking the time to vote.

• The following sports received at least one first place vote: 3x3 Basketball, Archery, Artistic Gymnastics (i.e., Gymnastics), Athletics (i.e., Track and Field), Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Canoe Slalom, Cycling BMX Freestyle, Cycling BMX Racing, Cycling Mountain Bike, Cycling Road, Diving, Fencing, Football/Soccer, Judo, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Sailing, Shooting, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, Swimming, and Volleyball.
• The following sports did not receive any first place votes: Artistic Swimming (i.e., Synchronized Swimming), Baseball/Softball, Boxing, Canoe Sprint, Cycling Track, Equestrian, Golf, Handball, Hockey (i.e., Field Hockey), Karate, Marathon Swimming, Modern Pentathlon, Rowing, Rugby Sevens, Surfing, Table Tennis, Trampoline Gymnastics, Triathlon, Water Polo, Weightlifting, and Wrestling. 

Thanks again to everybody for participating in the poll and I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Summer Olympics viewing experience (except for the two that apparently aren't going to watch...I hope you have safe and enjoyable alternative activities planned...s'more cooking around a campfire is always a good idea).  
 
Tomorrow is Thirsty Thursday. Hopefully EVGA_JacobF drinks plenty of drinks for everybody. 
 
Best of luck!  
 
As of 3:35 pm PT Wednesday, July 21, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from the morning of July 21; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement from the prior report)):

Another day passed, another day no 3070/Ti notified ^^;
 
I'm starting to believe the gaming gods don't want me to finish my Sentry build. I'm also in line for 3080s XC3 and 3060 Tis XC3.
Speaking of which, how much confortable would you all be with a 5600X, 2x 1,36 V RAM, an NVMe SSD and a 3080 XC3 on a 600 W SFX PSU, specifically this one?
I'm really looking for a 3070 Ti (and/or a reference RX 6800, if I can get it from AMD drops, maybe today is the lucky day!) and keeping the 3080s as backup plan. Would you agree on this backup plan or is 3080 too much for a 600 W PSU and I should drop the idea, if I can't get a 3070 Ti, or should be notified on a 3080 before a 3070 Ti?
Consider I will try light oc (paired with undervolt, whenever possible), both on CPU and GPU, as long as temps will be reasonable (in the 80°~90° on max load).

the 3080s work best if u can lock a voltage on msi afterburner beta at a max clock for your gpu. it varies game to game. for instance i know on my ftw3 ultra 3080 2205mhz 1.075 will stay stable all day with out spikes.... just play with the curve and find your sweet spot. it can take a while but once u know where your card sits you can get maximum performance. same goes for under volting...  find minimum voltage your card likes and adjust ur curve accordingly.

ExcaliburXVIIIn case anybody was buying that the intention was to sell the card at MSRP, here is another card bradsour sold for $1,800. I haven't been a follower of this but I can't stand liars.
 
Edit: Screenshot in case he somehow deletes it.

Life not always Black & White. Actually, mostly it gray. Yes, he sold to for $1800+$30, but actually he got only $1600 because of eBay fees - profit is only $150. Or 10% on top of $1450 retail price.
If $1800 looks a lot - check today Shuffle: MSI for $1770, ASUS for $1900 and $2000. And you can't just buy it - you have to buy bundle with make price even greater. And there a lottery too. Now $1800 doesn't seem as bad deal, right?
 
Do you know this person?

Of course you do - it is Wernher von Braun, father of Saturn V, rocket that delivered man to the Moon. He is hero, right?
But how about his rocket V-2 he developed in Nazi Germany? It killed thousand of British people in London and tens of thousand killed at rocket factory during World War 2. Is he a monster?
But how many people can be killed if Nazi Germany instead spend money to develop and build rockets made bombs and airplanes? Probably even more... so who is he? Tough question.
 

mrwhitewalkerBut he likely got the card for free with EVGA Bucks. So $1500+ Profit.

Anyone else unable to check email at work and missed the 8 hour window by a couple hours? If so what did you do? I emailed EVGA support. Isthat the correct place? The frustration with this is unbelievable…. I’ve checked my email probably 800 times since last October. If I got start over I’m out.

Thanks for any assistance.

I am assuming the "server at capacity" icon is most likely a result of 1000s of inquiries regarding the 3090 ftw3 debacle; which would also prevent evga from doing any kind of sizeable drop today

As far as spec, it should work but it's close.  You might need to be concerned with the power spikes the 3080 has.  Being a quality platinum unit should help though.  I'm not sure if these spikes are the result of overclocking - I haven't seen the promised articles on this matter. 
 
My gut says it's not a good idea, but maybe someone with a 3080 can chime in?

So a 600W platinum PSU on a 2 pin 320w TDP 3080 and a 5600X will work. That said it will use more then 50% of the power supply and not be effient and run a bit hotter.  I ran a 3 pin FTW3 380W TDP on a EVGA 650W P2 with a 3700X I was pulling I think up to 550w from the wall so around 490W system use. I later went to a Superflower Platinum 850W and 5800X
