I was one of the lucky ones that got into the Amazon XC3 Ultra listing that was made available for order on 9/22 but my card is currently scheduled for delivery 10/7. I saw that Jacob stated on Twitter that the 3080 XC3 Ultra is able to step up to the 3080 FTW3 Ultra. The FTW3 Ultra was my original goal card and I intend to keep trying to get it until my XC3 ships. However, if I am unsuccessful in that endeavor then I may consider this step-up depending on how a number of things shake out.
Herein lies my question, more than 14 days will have elapsed between the date that I placed my order and ultimately receive my card and am able to register it. Will that lock me out of step-up (other than the extended warranty purchase re-opening it) or is the date based on the date of delivery and/or shipment in this case?
Thanks
