looks like things are moving along

Seriously, what's the 100 post thing?

Seriously, what's the 100 post thing?

100 posts allows you to become an elite member. Tomorrow is the kingpin card auto notify and it's only for Elite members at first thus why everyone is saying people are trying to get their 100 posts.

Edit: Guy above me typed faster as I got distracted as I typed this lol.

Walmart has 3090s available fyi.  Just grabbed one at MSRP.
 
I'll cancel my queue spots for all 3070, 3080, 3090 cards if I get it (it says I am due to get in Wednesday).

I've looked at Walmart a couple times but their website is so horrendously ****e.  I can't find a way to easily search and show only 3090 cards by EVGA without seeing tons and tons of 20xxx cards and from other brands.  At least with Newegg and Best Buy I can easily filter the page to just show the cards I care about and occasionally refresh them to check.

exactly, you're better suited searching for toilet paper on that site, than anything else....

amazon and newegg dropping the ultra ftw3 almost daily and none buy it

None buy it? Every time I see it pop up it's gone before I can advance to the next page.

I 100% agree that walmart search functionality is terrible.  I couldn't find that EVGA 3090 I bought using their search at all.

It feels like the "must get to 100 posts by 6 am" zombie mob is assaulting the forums tonight.  No thread is safe...    

What is that 100 post thing ?
 

this makes sense .. though i didnt read much into it. i tried to get an elite account but only associate status so far... time to try.

Can someone link the best spreadsheet out there? I've found 3 or 4 through google but don't see any updates from today.

I have one more work call, and then will need a little time to check a few online sources of date/stamp reports, before I post the summary of the queues from today.  Thanks for your patience. 

I was wondering why the Kingpin was on the site but with only Elite & no notify button yet... must be going live tomorrow indeed.
 
I'm not about that life or I'd grab one (if I had the funds).  I really am genuinely curious how it performs with just the AIO on it though, with a 360mm & copper heatsinks on the VRM & RAM, it's gotta clock pretty well, especially with whatever fancy unlocked BIOS Vince has for it.
 
When you think about it, that is actually a "pretty cheap" Kingpin card, compared to how much they're normally marked up.  It's usually well over $200 more, this one is (technically) only $180 more than the FTW3 Hybrid 3090.  Factor in an associates code & you're not payin' that bad of a price compared to a high end 3090.

Wish they'd done a 3080 Kingpin :(

So Walmart was legit. My 3090 card shipped!

yeah there is no way im getting to 100 posts haha - I should have bought my 3090 FTW3 when the queue pooped but wanted to wait for 3080 now am regretting it :(

Yea the queue is pretty constipated and won't poop again until the new year if you sign up now :D

 
Haha yeah - im 9/17 at 9PM for 3080 FTW3 ultra so not super far away but annoyingly so

I did a very bad thing. I bought a PNY XLR8 3080 from Tiger Direct just now for $818.
 
I feel so dirty. May god have mercy on my soul.

Haha, enjoy your new gpu when you get it installed. Game on.

Per our earlier discourse, I tried to find the card...but failed.  Thanks for posting the link.  Glad your purchase worked out and congratulations on your card!

All the talk of "drops" and now this?!?  You mock us, sir.   [Absolutely hysterical.  Thank you!!!]

Well, today did not end up being the GPU Bonanza™ I thought it would.  Don’t worry folks, I will be wrong many more times before this is all over.
 
No surprise: Our suboptimal supply-side silliness continues. 
 
Nevertheless, we move on…tomorrow brings another session of EVGA business hours and the ever-renewing promise of additional 30 Series drops to the queues. 
 
     -      The 3090 Ultras have made it through most of the Queue Announcement window congestion and are likely going to pick up speed as they make their way towards Halloween and beyond. 
     -      The 3080 FTW3 Ultras are almost through their launch day congestion (but I do expect a small slow-down in the morning hours of 9/18 before they pick up a bit of speed in the run-up to October 5’s queue process announcement). 
     -      The 3070s, unfortunately, remain mired in their launch day congestion with only one of the four queues moving more than a minute and change past the 6 am launch (and two queues not moving at all).
 
As we look to Friday morning:
 
     -      The Elite overclockers among us have a F5 test in the early hours…good luck to all who enter (please note that your keyboard warranties do not cover competitive refresh competitions and F5 key inventory is woefully low (I hear you can get some on eBay at 4X retail)); 
     -      After that, EVGA is presenting some streamed overclocking entertainment featuring Tech “SB” Jesus and Jay Z (I mean “Jayz”) around 10 am PT; and 
     -      Hopefully, somewhere in the midst of all this chaos, EVGA will schedule a few drops to our queues…something more than just a straggler card or three. 
 
As of Thursday at 10:15 pm PT, here is the state of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from Wednesday night’s summary; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of the movement):

Good luck tomorrow. Let’s go gaga for gaming goodness and get our cards!

Worse week ever for the 3080 FTW3 Ultras. Seems like production is slowing down for the holidays.
