Is that how it's supposed to work, though? Scan and then input the score as the overclock amount?

Yep.

First scan, 89 result, manually entered and applied 80 instead. Ran test after that.
 
239, wow. Stock BIOS? I'm not planning to flash mine or get the hybrid kit for at least a few months, but wow.

Interesting, I didn't think about the voltage slider, I assumed the scanner was taking care of that as long as I moved the percentage slider to 112%. So, essentially, my extra ~80 MHz is "free" but I could push it more with the other slider and running a scan again? That makes sense, but I think I'll wait on that until I get it the hybrid cooler - it will be awesome to pick up that much speed without flashing it, though. Thanks!

There must be some seriously low stock on this. After the first round it hasn't come back for sale yet.

Stock was in friday night and i got one ordered! Sweet 999!

Me and my friend both ordered one as well. Pretty excited!

Welp....*sigh*...
 
This is also the first time since building my first gaming PC in late 2008 that I have not purchased an EVGA card from Newegg. But the only EVGA 2080 Ti available there is currently $1,700 USD.
 

 
While I want to congratulate you, don't purchase from scalpers who jack up the MSRP to make their 'cut' because its they who help keep things out of stock out of the hands of a consumer.  It has gotten out of hand with them.  Wish there were laws to throw them in a fiery pit.  Also before I forget, you just purchased your GPU with second hand warranty, the scalper being the original owner since they aren't a authorized retailer.

Regardless, I was one of the lucky ones that grabbed a 2080 Ti Black in that 10 or 12 hour window it felt.  I did some research prior to grabbing one and was surprised to see some potential OCs on it if especially put under water.  It's the reference GPU like they've always made over the years but the 'binned' factory OC chips have been priced on steroids and taken too far for my liking instead on $30, $50, $100 increments like they always have done.  I'd rather save $400 than spend it for a factory clocked GPU and hope my black comes close.  If I find myself in the 1900-2000 range on this GPU, great otherwise, no big deal! lol  They will all be close in FPS and I will have all the features and cores the other high priced GPUs have.

As you are undoubtedly aware, the scalpers exist because there are too many people who are "overburdened by money" (Marcus, BL2).  They simply want it now and will pay whatever. I am still salty that the cards are in the $1200+ range. Being an enthusiast, I like having the top hardware but this pricing is preventing me from wanting too. I am into custom water loops now and with the Hybrid being $1450.00, I will assume the Hydrocopper will be near that price point if not higher. 
 
I bought my 1080 Ti Hydrocoppers around $750 to $800ish, to replace them, it be $3000, I just can't wrap my head (or wallet) around that. As long as they are moving product, Nvidia will charge as much as they can.

I would add a couple of things: One, that it's not just that there are people who have more money than patience, but it's simple supply and demand. That is, the fact that for whatever reasons, whether deliberate or not, there is not a normal supply of cards. I have never seen Newegg in this state before, in which months after release a card is simply not available for sale on the site.
 
Also, there is nothing immoral or unethical about "scalping". The supply of cards is low for some reason, but it is not finite, as with seats in an arena (not that that matters to the issue of morality). These people aren't evil, or criminals--they are simply attempting to make a small profit, and taking a risk in doing so. There is by no means any guarantee that a person who attempts this will make a profit, nor is there any guarantee that he won't lose money. That is because he has no idea what will happen tomorrow. If supplies increase, or demand wanes, or prices otherwise fall, a person could find himself selling at a loss, and this happens regularly. It's not the same thing as two hungry people spotting a loaf of bread at the same time, and one person grabbing it and refusing to share it unless the other gives up half his wealth.
 
I know there are people who won't want to hear this, but while it's reasonable to be upset at not getting something one wants, we're not talking about food and water. Animosity directed at a person who attempts to make a small profit selling a GPU is borne of selfishness at not being able to achieve x framerates instead of y framerates. It's perfectly human to feel such things, but one must also realize that it's not righteous indignation, but selfish indignation. That's why the entire notion of scalpers being bad people exists in the first place: Not because they are actually harming anyone, but because they are potentially preventing a person from getting exactly what he wants. And people like to get what they want. They also like to wait until the last minute before purchasing a thing, or think that they need something now instead of waiting, or think that attending a basketball game is a religious obligation, and so contribute to their own dissatisfaction.
 
Personally I would not pay hundreds of dollars more for a product when I know that I can avoid doing so by waiting a matter of days or weeks. But I know that, while as a gamer I consider there to be a problem, a scalper is not causing the problem, nor is he causing me any actual harm, and that the only thing I can do to affect the situation is not pay any asking price that I don't want to see.

I have lost patience for a HydroCopper or the MSI EK Seahawk.

What has the hydrocopper caused (which has been in stock since release), to make you lose patience for it?
Asking, since I've purchased one myself, as well as well as the 2080ti black #$%$999.99 model.

The 2080 Ti Black $999 are back in stock right now.

It's been available since the 24th, unless there was another interruption between then and now.

The $999 Ti black was in stock for several hours last night till this morning and when I purchased one a few days ago along with a HC. 
 
Unfortunately, my selection for 3 Day UPS won't show up till next week Wednesday.....kinda defeats that shipping rate because I feel the ground shipping would have came around the same time for free.

I keep trying to get one but I keep missing them. Get the auto notify, and they are gone usually by the time I go on break at work. I think yesterday they were available for less than one hour.

Make sure you renew your notification immediately after getting an email. Around the 21st I think it was, there was availability for about 10 hours, and on the 24th, it was available for at least a full day I'm pretty certain, and maybe quite a bit longer. It seems like you should have been able to order at least on the 24th, if not the 21st.

For what I'm about to describe, the only reason that occurs to me is the high value of the GPUs involved. But for that to make much sense, someone is going to have to let me know whether EVGA has always done this for say, $1,000+ cards. What am I talking about?
 
Well, I'm first struck by the fact that the box in which the 2080 Ti BE resides is approximately 2.5 times the volume of the boxes I've always received my cards in, from the GTX 260 to the 980 ti. The next thing I discover after removing the outer cardboard box is that the clear plastic "clamshell" in which, again, my cards have traditionally been seated has been replaced with a combination of a thick corrugated cardboard box and custom-cut foam interior. It's the way PSUs are often packaged. I suppose it's worth mentioning that a bevel was designed into one corner of the box for reasons beyond my ken, which actually makes it impossible to remove or insert the foam block without first inserting one end, pushing it under the bevel, and then pushing the other end down.
 
So...I have the largest, most leveled-up, beveled-up Packinging System TM I've ever received a card in, and yet for the first time ever since purchasing a new GTX 260 for $230 and a second new GTX 260 for $180, the only thing I find inside the box is a GPU and only a GPU. Well, that's not true--there is a small piece of paper with installation instructions on it.
 
As far as the lack of accessories, I assume this is a cost-reduction effort for the Black Edition, even though it doesn't seem like EVGA's cost for the usual items could be more than $5. But I'm wondering about the packaging. Have the really, really expensive cards always been packaged like this? Without a doubt the cost of this packaging is substantially more than the flexible cardboard & clamshell packaging I'm used to. A lot more protective, as well.
 
Does anyone know whether other manufacturers have changed their packaging? Could it mean that these models are more fragile in some way?

I ordered one on late 12/26 3 day shipping. so if I figure 27 Thursday 28 Friday 31  would be Monday would get my card.. Ups is open but it says I am getting Wednesday  the 2nd kind of frustrating.
 Any way I see we are limited to 112 for powerlimit . Did evga increase that I see the black xc and ultra ship with 130 pl??
If not any non a chips with higher PL?
I heard you can not flash the black ultra  bios on this card 104 prefix vs 107 or something like that I can see them not ocing the card higher cuz nvidia tells them they can't but 112 PL seems low
