Hey enewt, I seem to recall you posting about EVGA being closed for the holidays but I can't find the dates... :( Do you remember when they go on break?

Orders placed after 12/23/20 at 2:00 PM will not ship until 1/5/21.

If that person who posted earlier about their notify being at 10:01 AM on 12/18 was for the 3080 FTW3 ultra, then I'm 45 minutes away. Here's to hoping I can get a notify before 12/23 at 2 PM!!!!

I believe the report was for the 3897, so, yes, it sounds like you are within 3/4 of an hour of the timeline.  Best of luck next week.

I can bet you it wasn't for the 3897. If so EVGA has some explaining to do. 10G-P5-3897-KR 11/19/2020 5:52:40 PM PT No

He meant 9/18, I believe.  I'll go back and check on it in a bit.

I meant 9/18 for sure, I believe that is what their post said, I just like to type too fast and have a mind of my own. They got their notify on 12/18 for a notify they added on 9/18 at 10:01 AM, for clarification. :)

Thank you ENEWT! Used your code and saved $90! Put my order in for an 24G-P5-3987-KR on 10-7-20 4:21:38 AM PT.  The EVGA system said they sent me an email, but I couldn't find it. I contacted EVGA CS and told them my story and they sent me another link! I just placed my order with 2nd day air.

Hi there everyone! Long time reader , first time writer, LOL!
 
I've been, like practically everyone here, patiently awaiting my new noob killing machine. For me, it the 3090 FTW Ultra. This card in Europe seems to scarcer than moon rocks. For reals!
I've a few points to share...

1. To the people who've gotten off your arse and created/managed/publicized those spreadsheets of the queues, I dip my cap to you my good sirs/madams. It's people like you who make communities what they are, and while I've done zip other than to type this little note, the work that you've done here in this space has done a lot to remove the frustration that many people feel - and that should be recognized. You've essentially reverse engineered the queue and built up some (limited) visibility into what's moving. I'm pretty sure that when EVGA first introduced the queuing system, that this wasn't envisioned. I don't say that as a bad thing, other than it's quiet warming to see what the power of a community can do.
 
2. Following on from point #1, I'm a little surprised that EVGA hasn't improved the visibility into the queues. It's potentially an avenue to differentiate EVGA above it's competitors. Before people jump down my neck.... yeah I get it. I get it! There's a lot problems with sharing a queue. You potentially tell people how many cards you've shipped where, what's moving/what's not. You give visibility into what your doing "behind the curtain" and there are potential "General data protection" issues of sharing usernames etc. ..... but these are all problems which can be overcome with some creative thinking. I also get that EVGA is a "downstream consumer" of the parts DDR6 memory, GPU chips and is somewhat blown by the prevailing wind. If the DDR6 DIMMS don't appear, EVGA with the best will in the world can't conjure a card out of thin air!
 
EVGA in my opinion is "thee" premier GPU card manufacturer. They can set the bar. Even if it's tool late for the crap show of the 3 series cards, some kind of improved ordering process for the 4 series in 2 years, or whenever they come out, would be welcome. You've 2 years guys! Get rocking! A loyal fan base of well intentioned customers will support and thank you. Maybe twice weekly updates from your distribution network? Better ETA's (yes they can change positve/negative) sent to customers on the queue. I'm just shooting ideas - you can I'm sure think of better ones than I can. 
 
3. A personal question briefly mentioned above, what's the story with 3090 FTW Ultra's in Europe? According to the (EU) spreadsheet, **not one single person** has gotten the mail and ordered a card. Not one!?
I'm not exactly bleeding here with a FTW 2080Ti, so while it's been 3 months since I got on the queue...…it'd be nice to know that cards *ARE* shipping and if I wait my time I'll get my slot. I don't mind waiting (well....you know!).....but i don't like the not knowing bit. (see point #2) :-)
 
All the best everyone! We'll get them ..... eventually! 

Cheers! Thanks for taking the time to write this and for participating in the thread. 
 
I don't have any real visibility into the EU queue situation or why 3090s (or any of the cards there are scarcer than here...I have some rudimentary theories that anybody would have...no great insight). 
 
BovineGamer is a participant in this thread and, I believe, has started an EU-specific thread or two.  He was (I think still "is") working up a summary of the EU queues based on the reports he is finding...admittedly far fewer than the North American queues have experienced. He might be a good person to PM (unfortunately, you will need 10 forum posts on your record before you can PM him...maybe find a recent thread in which he posted and ask there).  I am sorry I don't have better advice or information.  
 
Best of luck!

Definitely enable XMP when you can, the difference between 3200-3600MHz RAM & 2133MHz is noticeable and can result in upwards of a 10-30% gain in FPS in games that are heavily CPU bound, especially at lower resolutions since that further puts the burden on the CPU.

Still here enewt! Fighting to end the stangler days on the EU side.
 
EU queues have not advanced past release day as far as I am aware but managed to pinpoint emails to a date earlier than the ones that appear on the spreadsheet

Thanks for reporting back.  I love these stories.  Sorry about the fan.  You should be able to RMA that if you want.  And hat-tip to you for reintroducing the expression "soggy".  I still revert back to waterlogged from time to time, but "soggy" is also one of my favorites.  Enjoy your card and happy holidays!

Is today a good day?

I need it to go to 9:11

So, for the Hybrid models... if a guy would want to, say, change out the radiator fans for better fans, what would he get? One caveat: I like things as quiet as possible.
 
Also, are they 12cm fans?
 
Kthnx

Noctua 120s. The noctua A12x25 should work. They are pricey, but work really well and are silent. I have them in my rig, but not the card as I dont have one yet. If I get a hybrid, I will be swapping to those.
