For the 20 series, I ended up buying a 2080 ti black edition along with the hydrocopper block for it separately (but both direct from EVGA).
I had concerns, as I typically would not buy the lowest model in the product stack...in this case, it was a good thing. My card boosts to 1965 and has never exceeded 50.
I might do something similar with the 30 series if hydrocopper is too far away. I mean hey, if EVGA wants me to spend less for near identical performance, who am I to argue?

Samsung yields are low, and there is not going to be allot of stock especially the 3090.
And who told you that? Was it the little crystal ball that you got in your last box of Captain Crunch?
It's common knowledge at this point. I suggest that you wait until the 25th to buy your card.

Can you provide a reliable source for this information?
A lot of YT tech channels have reported this, and it’s well known that TSMC’s 7nm process is far superior to Samsung’s 8nm. There’s a reason AMD, Apple, etc. have soaked up all of TSMC’s capacity, which put Nvidia in a bad spot when Samsung’s yields turned out to be lower than expected.

I'm really curious to see the cooling performance of the 3080/3090 XC3/FTW3 variants. Nvidia really reinvented the cooling for the 3x series, including a push-pull cooling from both sides, and paying close attention to the memory which runs really hot. I have no doubt that EVGA did their due diligence, but continuing with the one-sided 3-fan approach raises some questions. I guess we will see reviews soon enough, but if the mods can comment about the heat-noise comparison vs the reference design, I would appreciate it (even on the high-level without spilling the 'secret' details just yet).

I agree, I asked this question earlier in the thread.
We appreciate you guys answering questions, but can you please address the cooling one. Is your cooling design better and more efficient than the one NVidia unveiled? Some of us are really interested in this particular aspect of the card as not all of us use water cooling and want to know how ICX3 compares to NVidias new push/pull cooling setup.

I think it will be a sit and wait for reviewers to launch their video reviews of the available cards. Until then, I don’t think NVidia is going to give EVGA the stats so they can compare back and forth.

If the EVGA pcb is bigger, the 3 fan style might actually be better. Founders edition cards to me are more mainstream type cards, with mainstream type solutions, EVGA cards are enthusiast solutions...but your questions are certainly valid :)

While normally Samsung 8nm (well honestly its 10nm with small tweaks and rebranding) yields aren't as good as TSMC 7nm they aren't terrible. The main issue is the die's are huge as the process isn't very dense compared to what they planned for which in turn does hurt yeilds. Same issue Intel is having at 14nm right now, good process but dies have gotten so big it hurts yields. As has been well documented Nvidia didn't expect not to have TSMC capacity, they only got a little for there super high end compute cards which forced them to use Samsung for the rest. In turn we got huge dies with high power consumption... performance should still be excellent though!

Please tell me there will be a limit of one per order. Otherwise, the only ones that will get them are the scalpers.

Really hoping the EVGA cards rock, but I am also eyeing the Founders Edition for the first time ever. That said, I think I might try to go for a Reference design so I can get it under water.

What are you smoking exactly? Extremely limited stock according to your “magic ball” and you’re suggesting to wait see if there’s stock a day after they’re set to go live? If that was supposed to be sarcasm, then it’s really bad.

I agree performance should be amazing, but availability will suck. Those who miss the release due to bots will feel cheated, and have to sit on the sidelines for weeks/months while not being able to play on next gen. But hey you can always watch someone else enjoy it that has the money to pay a scalper.

I believe the founder cards went live to order right after the announcement because I recall being sticker shocked since the presentation said starting at $999 but the founders were $1199. wiki says they didnt start shipping until the 20th

EK had waterblocks for 1080ti, 2080, and 2080ti FTW3 models, so I would be very surprised if they didn't support the next set of FTW3 cards.
Personally, I intend to make a watercooled build with a 3090FTW3 and 10900K. The only question now is whether I'll have the parts before November 19th...

If Im correct the Step Up program is only effective for 90 days after a purchase of an EVGA product which sort of sucks. I wish they were not date restrictive. It would be nice if they offered the same plan as cell phones where you can always get the latest and greatest by turning in your current/older EVGA product.

So, never really have tried buying a card right at launch before, do these launch in stores like Micro Center the same day as well? I'm debating on whether it's worth trying to snag one online, or showing up to Micro Center really early.

I see Hydro Copper listed - any idea if this means they'll be released at a reasonable date this time around? Or should I snag an EK block?
IIRC, the 2080ti Hydro Copper didn't release until, what, this past April? 
I'd love a Hydro Copper, currently rocking a sexy EK block with a chrome backplate from EK though on my 2080Ti FTW

I don’t think this is up to evga, it seems nobody is having pre orders and it’s probably due to stock related issues with covid. Also I think we will have a better idea of how 3090 orders will go once the 3080 drops. I imagine things will run similar, release times etc.

Is the page saying they will have a HYDRO COPPER 3090? It is so hard to know what to do with no real information.

Nice to see 240mm radiators for the new hybrids. Now I just hope they will allow us to lower the pump speed like they do on their CPU AIO.
