wait, so if i signed up for the queue on 09/21 for the 3080 FTW3, am i in "risk" of the price hike or....am i good?

Provided you get your "invite to purchase" email from EVGA on or before April 16, you should be good to go. If it comes after April 16, it doesn't matter when you joined the queue.

Wow so not only do I have to wait almost 1 year (3881 09-18-20 6:56pm) but since I was forced to wait I now have to pay more ahahahhahahah. We're talking about fkn launch day here.....

If the item hasn't been in stock during that year, and the price of production increases, then you have to pay more. You're not entitled to anything because you haven't gotten what you wanted. Especially because you clicked a "notify me" when in stock button. 

That's funny cause abunch of people got exactly that.

Good luck on the drops today everyone!
 
Just some informations that some might find useful (if there are any drops today) :
 

• Associates Code gets you a discount (3% off GPUs, up to 10% off other products on eVGA.com, several people have Associates Code links in their signatures)
• When registering your card (after you receive it), use an eVGA Rewards Code when registering, it gives the person who's code you use 2 free eVGA Bucks; consider looking through the thread for someone that has one listed & has not gotten their GPU yet - it's not much, but it's something
• Hybrid card tube length is 400mm and should be mounted as exhaust whenever possible to avoid feeding your system lava air as intake
• if you purchase a card elsewhere, don't remove your notifies until you receive it, just to be on the safe side
• PSU recommendations are 750-850W Minimum for a 3080, 850-1000W for a 3090 if you want to be on the "safe" side
• Lastly, Kingpin fan cords are only 6" long, and the stock fans are garbage, you should plan on replacing them

With 3070 cards, I'm going with 850 psu .... I currently have 650 psu, but I think 3070 are like the 3080 ... but you can tell me if that's overkill or a wise decision (upgrading to 850 from 650).

I have a ryzen 9 3900xt with 2 1tb ssd and 2 1tb hdd (but will be adding a 4tb or 6tb hdd).  also have a 1070 (waiting for 3070 in queue system). 

I have a 750 psu, and waiting for the 3070, but I think it was 650 min for 3070

A wattage Meter is around $25. I ran my 3080 FTW3 Ultra and 3700X on my Evga 650W P2 Platinum with a 6 to 8 pin adpater for 4 months and pulled 550w from the wall gaming so a system load around 490w. Since getting into mining I went to Super Flower Leadex 850W Platinum and waiting on the the 5800X to arrive. But yes you maybe able to run a 3080 on 650w it just depends. 

I am in a bit of mourning today. I spent many an hour meandering through the aisles of Fry’s with my Dad…I LOVED those trips…often we would leave with a new game, sometimes a new mouse or other computer peripheral, sometimes we would depart with just some good laughs at what we found among those wide, dimly-lit isles. But those trips were almost always good and valuable time together.  (Each store had a different theme -- I was always partial to the Tiki-vibe in El Segundo, but the crashed spaceship was also pretty cool; for those fortunate enough to visit one during Fry's golden years, which was your favorite?) 
 
My Dad passed away a few years ago and with Fry’s shuttering their doors last night (let’s be honest, they should have been shuttered years ago), it is just one more thing that slides (perhaps less than gracefully) into the dustbin of history. Fry’s will always have a special place in my memories of gaming, of geekdom and of my youth. I almost wish you didn't live long enough to see the 2020-2021 Tech Launch Debacle™ (© NVIDIA Corp. 2020-2023). Fair winds and following seas, dear Fry’s.

Always appreciate the work you do here. Sorry to hear about your dad, albeit it was a few years ago.
But hey, February is coming to the end and maybe, you will be able to get in the queue for the HC cards!

Looks like the eBay scalpers are starting to price the 3080 FTW3 Ultra at around $2500 now.  This is really getting out of hand.

That is completely insane.  I'm not going to lie, I really want the 3080.  However, that price point has priced most people out of the market.  I assume they are going after the deep pocketed folks who are mining ethereum.  They seem to care about rate of return, which at that point would be about 6-7 months.  if it holds

I just ask PLEASE let the 3975 and 3985 move on the queue these weeks, I need 1 of them for work and not for gaming and won't buy from scalpers!

Happy wednesday to everyone!

Ok I'm curious here: what kind of work do you do to absolutely need a 30xx card?

3090's being priced at $4,500 on Amazon...

Thanks for the thoughtful words. He taught me all about computers and, in his final years, I was his IT support. Life is a circle.
 
I really hope March is the month for the HC cards...I am holding on by a fingernail at this point. Thanks again.

3090's not enough card for that price. I turned my notify down a few months ago for it. Didn't want it as they finally were announcing the regular 3080 hybrids.

I have a ryzen 9 3900xt with 2 1tb ssd and 2 1tb hdd (but will be adding a 4tb or 6tb hdd).  also have a 1070 (waiting for 3070 in queue system). 

I don't think there's such a thing as overkill on a PSU purchase, unless you're doing something really stupid like buying a 1600-2000W PSU for a build that will never in it's life pull 1000W ever for any reason lol
I would get the 850W, gives you a path for OCing and upgrading, and during "normal" gaming draw, you'll likely be at about 500W which is perfect for the 850W's power curve if it's a decently rated PSU (most of which operate most efficiently at 90+% usage & in the 40-60% usage range).

I’m running a FTW 3070 with a 750 Corsair RM and it’s been plenty. 10600k, MSI Gaming Edge, EVGA AIO, 1 M.2 1TB and 1 2TB SSD.

My son has a 3080 XC3 hybrid on a Corsair 850 RMx and no issues with that one. 5800x, MSI Carbon WiFi, Arctic 360 AIO. 2 M.2 1TB drives and 1 2TB SSD.

Bottom line is I think 850 is more than you need for a 3070 but the extra power couldn’t hurt if you want room for future upgrades.

Yes indeed.

Part of the issue is draw does not go up linearly with overclocking, and a lot of people will OC their hardware sooner or later, especially when it comes to higher core count CPUs, they can go bonkers quickly... I.E. the 9900K is supposed to be a 95W TDP unit... mine pulls 162W at stock full load & around 200W at 5GHz all core boost, which is a pretty minor overclock considering it's single core boost stock is 5GHz.
GPUs similarly can go pretty wild pretty quickly with power draw & overclocking, but Ampere is pretty power limited from the get go so OCing is very limited on anything but the Kingpin cards.
 
I personally wouldn't run a 3080 on a 650W PSU, but if you're just planning to plug the system in, enable XMP & run it, a 650W that's a quality unit would "be enough" unless you're running something in the 10+ core range then it depends on the parts.

3090's being priced at $4,500 on Amazon...

What is really scary is that the quantity of people over pricing them is dwindling. Either miners are just making that much mining or people are getting way to impatient. Both is a frightening prospect for future pricing.

Nah mate, supply has gotten even worse, not better - there's fewer cards to scalp.

Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. That was not the original intent, but that's what ended up happening.

Doesnt look like there will be any 3080 hybrid drops this week. Thought Id let people know so they dont get their hopes up.

I asked Jacob just now on twitter. He said "Maybe" next week so there might not be any next week either.

4 days ago, he responded to another person that implied they had no more hybrids atm and they were currently in production with no ETA for availability.
