For those still in denial, these Hydro Copper and Hybrid card prices all but confirm a 3080Ti coming or price drop on 3090's. The price increase over air cards is almost nothing compared to what it was for 2080Ti's - which was like $200+ iirc.

Have to admit I expected the Hybrids and HC cards to be a lot more than just ~$50 over the air cooled versions. I'm not sure if that means the air cooled shrouds were more expensive then normal to produce, or if EVGA just decided to put a good price on the Hybrid/HC options, or, as you said, it's leaving room for an upcoming Ti/Super version.

Eh, possibly, but there's no way the air coolers, which are easily and fairly cheaply mass produced cost more to make than CNC machined water blocks lol.

Probably not, but it is likely a reaction to the $999 price point.  #PlanningForTheCompetition

I'm just gonna preface my luck now:  Watch them come back up to "notify me" while I'm in the shower.

bots win again.

Awesome.....guess things look better for the future.

Anyone know where we are on the list for the 3080 ftw3 ultra queue. just looked to see when I signed up and saw I signed up on 9/18 at 3:34 am EST just curious on how much longer I got wait.

 
As of last night, we are here:
 
     Card                                 SKU                      Auto-Notify Date/Time 
     3080 FTW3 Ultra               3897                     09/17/2020 14:56:00
 
I would say you should be targeting an email invite in mid - late December unless drop frequency and volumes increase dramatically.  
 
And the full status of queues is as follows:

So when our time comes do we just get a email with link to purchase? Waiting since 10/6 :)

It feels like we might get a small drop of 3080 FTW3 Ultras today – but not until after 1 pm…or Friday, Nov. 13 could just kick us to the curb.  It could go either way….

So 3070 que (reported) as of today (2 weeks after "launch")
LOL this is not even paper launch, it is spiderweb launch.

A tracing paper launch?  

 
toilet paper launch might be more appropriate.

toilet paper launch might be more appropriate.

You win :)

For me, I refuse to let it be a white handkerchief launch.  I will continue to believe in the queue!

I think its great to have that visual! I don't really mind waiting at this point, esp with news of a 3080ti. I'll probably order the 3897-KR whenever I get notified, and step-up when the 3080ti's get announced. I've got a feeling it will be sooner than later. The only way I'd be pissed if I missed my step-up window. I'd be salty for a while.


I'm not even mad about the timing of the Hybrid's. It would be nice to have, but no sweat here. I like the look of the ftw's.

EVGA just tweeted that the hybrid cards and water cooled cards are up for notifies!

By the way, in case it hasn't been mentioned yet, huge THANKS for alerting the thread.  In all the craziness, I think we skipped right over your scoop.  Thanks for thinking of us all.  

Hey thanks! This thread has been awesome so I'm happy to contribute! Sorry to all of those that didn't get in to the first wave. I thankfully made it in. Here are my alerts for those curious:

24G-P5-3979-KR 11/13/2020 9:16:36 AM PT
24G-P5-3987-KR 10/7/2020 6:55:40 PM PT

 
Thanks again BobSwarleyMan!
 
Per a tweet from Jacob, if folks got auto-notifies in then they should be in the first batch.  The tweet sounds like confirmation that we won't need to track date/time stamps for the lucky few with the quick captcha skills.  Congratulations!

Well there has been some movement on the 3070s, just not much, I got mine comin' in today and I ordered it Tuesday, my notify time was

I'm the only one that reported here but others have thanked Jacob for that model on twitter. But yes... small test batch to begin with. More this week.

Ok, nevermind, now I am confused! I looked again at the spreadsheet. I am signed up for the Black edition, and actually pretty high up in that queue, but the numbers above me haven't reported anything on the spreadsheet yet, at least that I can see. Are you a different name on the spreadsheet? My name is the same still.

Yeah they already screwed us out of the initial batch by only having the Notify Me button available for a little bit for the "first batch", now it's gone til who knows when.  I'm more than a little angry about it.

Drat! That sucks, but at least I know now. Thank you!
