It has been a pretty quiet day, so the North American queue summary will come in a bit earlier today.  
 
Drops to the following queues occurred: 3897, 3885, 3755 and 3667.  The 3755 was too small (likely a “straggler” drop from yesterday) and I did not have a trusted report to add to the summary below.  
 
As of 3:50 pm PT Thursday afternoon, January 7, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from the morning of Thursday, January 7; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement).

Check your pm's.  I got a question about the Nvidia discord. 

I don't have enough posts to send you a PM back, if you Google the Nvidia Discord you can find it.  Ask for "Dan" in the server and you can find him, he's been doing this for a while.

@strangewill (not that you asked, buuut) here's a look at the queue volume by day for the 3080 FTW3 ULTRA (currently the most popular card and one with consistent fulfillment). The top two days are the first two days after launch which comprise about 41% of the whole queue. We're currently mid-way through the second day after launch (9/18), sitting at about 38% of the queue. Once EVGA can get through 10/7, the second bump, then the remaining dates should start to be fulfilled quickly - we're talking days and weeks at a time, as opposed to the minutes and hours (if we're lucky) we're getting with each daily drop now. 
 

Wrong.

Those days make up 41% of the people that we KNOW are in those early queues.

We're a big group of people sitting on the front porch of a restaurant with those vibrating notification pucks that they use to let you know that a table is available for your party. We've been waiting for awhile, we all know what time we got our notification coasters, and we've been sharing that info with each other. What we don't know is how many of those notification coasters they've handed out in total (the total number of people in each queue), how many of those are ahead of us, and how many are behind us (what our actual position in the queue is), or how many of the people they've been issued to will actually show up when they get pinged.

I wouldn't trust the info that we can see to be able to give us good info on where the queues actually are. In fact, there is a good chance that a lot of the people who signed up took the "set it and forget it" approach, and will buy cards without ever reporting back to the spreadsheets or forum threads (like this one). That means that the queues might stay close to the same speed while getting a whole lot less transparent as we move past the first day or two of signups (particularly for the queues that are still in September).

The 3060ti FTW3 Ultra (3667) looks like it is already showing this: The customer reports we got back regarding the drop this week has moved the queue up a grand total of about 4 minutes, 47 seconds: 56 seconds for the first day of this drop (yesterday), and an additional 3 minutes, 51 seconds for the second day (today). It's also worth noting that this report was from first thing in the morning, and was the *only* report we've seen for today. That means that the queue likely moved closer to 4 minutes 30 seconds on the first day, and who knows how far today. I'm queued at 7:00:40, so I'm still holding out a tiny bit of hope that I get a notification for this card tomorrow.

My date for FTW3, and other cards for that matter is 10/6/2020  12:11:46pm .  But the chart provided says the FTW3 cards are already on 10/7/2020 ?   I watch my email religiously.  Does that mean I missed my chance?
 
 
Edit ` I see the line I was looking at was for 3090.  My notifications are for 3080.  I can't believe those are still back in September.  God help us all.   lol

The 3897 made decent progress this week:
 
1/5/2021 3080 FTW3 Ultra 3897 09/18/2020 11:36:58 (00:48:57)
1/6/2021 3080 FTW3 Ultra 3897 09/18/2020 11:49:56 (00:12:58)
1/7/2021 3080 FTW3 Ultra 3897 09/18/2020 12:35:59 (00:46:03)
 
Hopefully the pace will keep up over the next few weeks!

My 3090 arrived today. I'm not off the queue yet as my new power supply is not here. What's the worst that happens if I use my current PSU? My machine shuts off? Or would my card possibly be damaged?

Is your current PSU a 750, 850, 1000W...?  How old is it?  I would not risk my GPU unless I had confidence in the PSU.  Also, when your new PSU does arrive you have to switch out the power cables too -- don't mix and match from one PSU to another PSU when it comes to the cables.  Best of luck! 

It's a 4+ year old 750W Platinum PSU. 

That's a tough call.  If you had a 3080, I might consider it.  But with a 3090, I'd wait.  How long until your new PSU arrives?

Sunday according to Amazon, unfortunately. I get to stare at my 3090 box for three whole days before I get to play with it.

Since the 750w you have is platinum, I'd give it a go.  Typically if the unit can't supply enough power, it will just shut the system down.  All the horror stories you see about power supplies frying and taking out a whole system are generally bad supplies.  IE, it's not because someone overloaded it, just because the components fried.  Now with that said, if the system does run fine with the 750w, then it's putting a heavy load on the PS at the top of it's design rating, so it would probably affect the life of the PS.  That of course doesn't really matter if you have another PS coming 3 days later.   

Fortunately I have several hours to decide since I'm working right now.

I wouldn't worry. Quality PSUs are made to fail safe, that is, to fail without power surges that fry other components. Any PSU that is rated Bronze or higher should be fine. While the Platinum rating refers to power efficiency, any PSU with a metal rating (bronze, gold, etc.) has to have quality protection built in. A Platinum PSU, being a top quality PSU, will usually have exceptional protection as well as exceptional power efficiency.
 
750 w should be sufficient to run your GPU card. To be sure, check the power draw specs on your GPU and CPU, add them together, and allow a little more for your other components (DRAM, storage, etc.) and you should be fine. While I would NOT run the system if your draw is more than 750w, even then, the worst likely to happen is that the PSU will shut down without damaging itself or other components.
 
Enjoy!

I have it installed. No complaints from Linux yet (First boot I didn't get any display, I think things were trying to go through my VR.) but I haven't booted from Windows nor have I tried putting any sort of load on the card. 

EVGA has a handy power requirement calculator at .
 
I ran the calculator assuming a 3090 GPU, an AMD X570 MB, an overclocked CPU, one SSD and one HD. The calculation came out to 723 watts.
So, . . . , you should be fine unless you have a bunch of drives and other equipment also attached.

Maybe I should also jump out of the queue for the ti! I am still running the 1080ti hybrid lol. Amazing card. I skipped the 2080ti because i thought it was just ridiculously priced.

Wait until you see the price of the 3080ti.

After playing some VR, Hitman 2, and running Unigine Superposition several times on both Linux and Windows on my current PSU, I am calling it. I am removing myself from the queues as the new card seems to be working perfectly. 

Congratulations on your card! Enjoy it!!!

Right and wrong. No, we don't know exactly how many people are in the queue. Only EVGA knows that, but the Google sheet had several hundred entries for the 3897 before it was corrupted. I think it was north of 500. It's a pretty decent sample size and you can glean some information from it. The VAST majority of the entries were stacked on 9/17 and 9/18. 9/17 was really popular and 9/18 had about 70% as many entries as 9/17. After that it dropped off pretty quickly. There will also be plenty of non-responses, especially as time goes on and people find cards elsewhere. The 3897 queue will start moving faster once we get past 9/18.

I know i should get a 3080 ftw3 by next week. almost positive! excited!

I am going to start including the extended information about the Affiliate's Code & Rewards Code stuff in at least one post a day so that everyone purchasing from eVGA directly has reminders to A: use a code cuz it's free money off for you and free eVGA Bucks for the person who's code you use, and B: It's a reminder that once you have your card, register it (with a Rewards Code) & upload the invoice to ensure that person actually gets their rewards.
 
Hope everyone is having a safe & happy post holiday season, let's hope next week's drops are more notable than this week's were.

So I'm new to the site and put on a notify for the 3080 hybrid of 3898 model last week.  Digging through the thread is a bit tedious and I was wondering if the hybrid versions were moving?  The date of queue is in Dec (I'm not sure when they dropped) so I don't know.
 
My queue time is 12/30/2020 11:46:18 AM PT

You'll be waiting a while.  The Hybrid 3080s have not moved a whole lot since launch day's drops happened.  We are expecting more Hybrids of both the 3080, 3090, and Kingpin variety, next week, according to JacobF via Twitter.

Thanks for the quick reply!  I think I'm good waiting a while as I've been checking out the performance of various cards.  The 3070 is not peaking my interest as a 2080ti equivalent.  The only thing I like about it is the lower temps, but a watercooled 3080 will be perfect.  I just need to take two fans out of the front of my case to fit it since my CPU has a top mounted AIO.
 
I'd love to wait for a  hybrid 3080 ti, but holy moly, I don't want to wait 3 years.

Whenever that's launched if you get in queue for it quickly you should get it fairly soon.
 
However, I will say Hybrid cards are just plain better, and they always take 1-2 months to come out after the initial GPU is released by NVidia because eVGA takes their time fine tuning stuff and getting the tolerances on the cooler correct so that it has good contact with the VRMs for those heatsinks, the vRAM for the vRAM plate.
 
Just keep in mind if you have an AIO on your GPU & CPU, you want to have the CPU radiator as in take preferably, and the GPU radiator as exhaust.  The GPU radiator is dealing with 2-3x the heat output/wattage your CPU AIO is, meanin git will be putting out more heat, so if your GPU radiator were setup as intake, you would be "intaking" 34-38+C air in to your system under load.  And yes, those temperatures are not a typo, I've tested it with thermocouples on my GPU Radiator output, and it really does get that warm.  From a gaming session earlier in Cyberpunk, and keep in mind, my 3090 is undervolted to 1000mV with a core clock OC to 2040MHz, and the GPU radiator exhaust temperature got up to 40C!  That's not the kinda air you want being blown IN to your system.

Is there an update summary table also for EU?

Good morning
