Merging queues at this point would only piss people off.

You say it won't affect my spot. Well that's not true.

You would potentially cut in front of other people that have been in line as long as you.

Plus you would be cutting in front of people who actually queued for the actual card.

It's no one's fault but your own to not have been notified for more than one card.

Never put all your eggs in one basket.

And frankly EVGA probably didn't think that components were going to be limited.

Plus they make no profit on the basic cards.

What kinda person makes an offer then doesn't pay attention to their email...
 
Oh right, it's Friday, people work on Friday LUL
 
Just waiting. Patiently.
 
Think I'm gonna go ahead & shoot that email in reply to the purchase link email from eVGA in about a half hour, & see what they say about holding on to one for me til Wednesday - just to be on the safe side.
Then I can stew on how ridiculous it is I'm even purchasing the thing for several more days if necessary until the money is available to purchase it lol

I would ping Jacob via twitter by around 3 pm or so if you haven't heard anything.  I don't think it has to be solved today...this type of issue has stretched over a weekend before, but you want to reinforce that post-email receipt, you expressed a clear intention to purchase.  
 
Best of luck!

you got a email for yesterdays 3888?

It's for the big kahona:
 

 
I'm hyped.

Indeed I will, I'm going to do everything I can to try & get the funds available today to purchase it today, but I'd rather have them know I'm 100% wanting to purchase & will 100% have the funds on Wednesday, hopefully that will be enough for them to hold it for me if I can't finnagle it today.

Can anyone fix the google spreadsheet for 3080 FTW3 Ultra plz? There is one invalid entry there that's polluting the whole tab

How reliable are hybrids cards? And should I put the rad as intake if I have an air cpu cooler?

The manual suggests you put it up top as exhaust.

I got a dark rock pro 4 air cooler and i don't think the hybrid will fit in my case. Been looking for a new case, but don't really feel like changing cases.

I had a couple 1080ti hybrids and had zero issues with them...if the pump dies, it should be covered under warranty, so should be fine.

I would want the radiator as top exhaust. It will dump a ton of heat into your case if not. I have a 280 on front, will put this 240 on top and possibly flip my rear 120mm fan as intake to get in more fresh air for GPU and have it all exhaust out the top.

Have they mentioned whether the 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid queue will reopen any time soon?
 
Is it safe to assume that a 9:27:13 queue time for the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid means I’m unlikely to get an email until ‘21?

....

The 9:15-9:20 time period for the hybrid is going to be very congested. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes one min at a time.
 
However at this rate I'd expect I'll get a notify for the hybrids before I get one for the XC3 black 3080 that I queued up on 9/16.

I'm guessing I shouldn't get my hopes up for getting this any time soon :D.

For what card? oh yesterdays 3888, its going to be over a month maybe 3.

They're already ticked off. This would at least address major complaints with the queue system as-is.

Not remotely true. I queued at 9/17/2020 9:44:07 PM PT for my 3881, meaning I'd be getting my card later than someone who queued for the 3885 at that same time.  People who queued after launch would still be in just as unappetizing a spot as before, but those who were misled into queueing for cards at launch EVGA had no intention of making or delivering this year would actually have a chance at finally getting a card, if they didn't mind the upcharge.
 
If a company doesn't make a product but offered a queue for it, then the right thing to do is to merge that queue based on position into the queue for the product they are making.

I queued for the card I would've made the most use of.  I queued responsibly, not greedily.  I suspect a lot of people did the same thing. Why should we reward those who shotgunned every card over those who only lined up for what they actually needed?

deadly_silence
And frankly EVGA probably didn't think that components were going to be limited.

 
Bull. They knew exactly what they'd be making, and when, prior to launch.  They definitely changed what they'd be making once they saw how bad the supply constraints actually were, but it's not like they magically decided to make those cards on September 15th.  They would've known before the end of that launch weekend what their production through 2020 would've looked like to some reasonable certainty, but chose not to communicate this to the community or change queuing before formally launching it.

Plus they make no profit on the basic cards.

They make less of a profit on the basic cards.  If EVGA can't make a $699 video card, they won't.  Their cheapest XC3 is $730 because that's, at a minimum, their break-even price.

They are very reliable, my 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid is still running in a friend's sytem & it's coming up on 3 years old.
 
Definitely do not put the AIO radiator on a Hybrid card as intake if you can avoid it.  Set it up as exhaust if at all possible, the radiator on the cards tends to exhaust very warm air, not the kinda thing you want to be "intaking" in to the rest of your system if you can avoid it - it would result in much warmer temps across the board as you'll be using air that's 10-15C warmer than ambient as "intake" if you do that setup.
 
Is your case one that only has a front radiator mount option, or top/bottom & front?  If so you could always reverse the airflow profile, have the top be intake & front be "exhaust" with the Hybrid card's radiator mounted on the front. 

I never thought of doing intake from the top and the exhaust from front...
 
i already have a 240 AIO Rad up top exhausting out and 3 120 intake fans intaking in.  
 
Just thinking how i would do my setup when i get my 3080 Hybrid.
 
Was thinking mounting the GPU rad up front and intake in and then keep CPU rad up top and exhaust out since hot air rises...

I don't know who is updating the spreadsheet but here's my info:
