I'm running an EVGA 850w t2 I think it's enough for 3080 😒🤔

c'mon 3897!  I'm so close!
We can get from 9/18  to 10/15 today!

LOL! Wait...was that meant to be serious?

What’s your time?

12/77/2020 i have my doubts.

shoot, I'm still rocking a 6700K with my 3080. Wanting to try and get a new AMD cpu if possible.

i have a 9900k and am hoping for a hybrid 3080 and I noticed that the ft has 3 8 pins and the xc3 has only 2 so will i get away with a 750 watt gold for either card?

That's as expected.  We knew once launch day was gotten past the card queue in question would pick up steam, regardless of which queue it is.  It will slow down again when it hits the day the Queue System was implemented, then pick up speed again after that.
You have to keep in mind, for each card, the highest amount of sign ups are going to be on release day, and then of course for the 3080s/3090s, the day they implemented the queue system.
 
 
Good luck on the drops today guys, just some reminders:

• Don't forget to use an Associate's Code during checkout, it will save you 3% off your GPU purchase, and up to 10% on other purchases.  All you have to do is use the code at checkout (a few useful ones: Mine: 47AQQ6KPU2IZNXY - Enewt's: VDN2319M4O569J4 ) or click the links there & it will make a cookie to insert the code automatically during checkout, then when you receive your card, be sure to register it & upload your invoice from the EVGA order page.  My eVGA bucks from this in particular will be going to a Z590 Dark board, so I appreciate anyone that uses my code greatly ;)
• Keep in mind if you're ordering a Hybrid card: the tubing is 400mm in length, and the radiator + fan combo is about 56mm thick;  Hybrid card radiator exhaust can be in excess of 34-41C air, having it setup as intake is not recommended even in a CPU AIO/GPU AIO setup, as unless you have a very high core count CPU that puts out more than 400W of heat, the GPU radiator will always be the hotter of the two.
• If you purchase a card elsewhere, it's best not to remove your notify queues until you receive the card, just to be on the safe side, as if you do remove it then have to requeue, you would be at the back of the line.  Once you receive your card & remove yourself from other queues, kindly let us know which cards you removed yourself from queue for, so that others in those queues know they've effectively moved up a spot.
• It is recommended that you have, at the bare minimum, a quality 750W (or in my opinion, 850W) PSU for a 3080, and at least a 850W (or in my opinion, 1000W) PSU for a 3090, especially if you plan to overclock your CPU and/or other components at all.  Keep in mind that OCed CPUs quickly go up in power draw in most cases, i.e. a 95W TDP CPU like a 9900K can get up to 170-190W of draw from a simple 5GHz OC like mine.  Even if you're running a 3080 on a stock system, I would definitely recommend against going with less than 750W at a bare minimum, just to avoid any future issues.

3%... What happened to 5%. Did EVGA go down the Greed hole AGAIN?

Which one you thinking of getting 🤔
