Will they have new vertical mount cable's for the 3000 series card bandwidth? or can we use the extended cable we have now?

Nvidia has confirmed the 3090 performance over the 3080:
 

For gamers pushing the limits, the GeForce RTX 3090 is also the first GPU that lets you connect, play, capture, and watch in 8K HDR. That’s an insane 4x the pixels of 4K and 16x the pixels of 1080p.
For 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 3090 is about 10-15% faster on average than the GeForce RTX 3080, and up to 50% faster than the TITAN RTX.
Since we built GeForce RTX 3090 for a unique group of users, like the TITAN RTX before it, we want to apologise upfront that this will be in limited supply on launch day. We know this is frustrating, and we’re working with our partners to increase the supply in the weeks to come.

Pretty skeptical about anything Nvidia claims at this point. Hype the crap out of the next new thing (bigger, better, faster, stronger), limit production, distribution, and in turn availability...resulting in instant demand, whether deserved or not. Pretty sure they've got it down and know exactly what they're doing (read: CALCULATED). "Working with our partners to increase supply"...total bulls@#. They've exerted nearly absolute control over production and distribution, down to how many cards each and every retailer and storefront receives, when they're allowed to start selling, etc. Guessing their partners would have increased production significantly had they been given the option. Nvidia has taken no responsibility, issued a couple generic apologies and for the most part threw their partners under the bus, and have remained pretty lackadaisical in terms of preventing bots & scalpers from doing what they do. It's not like they have the means or resources to do so (that was sarcasm, they're a multi-billion dollar company and back in July passed Intel as the most valuable chipmaker in the U.S.)  Poorly handled launch would be a gross understatement, so f#^k 'em. Might buy from team red in the near future out of spite.

FTW3 Ultra Gaming has dual bios?

Hmm newegg went from prerelease to out of stock. Wonder if thats jist a thing they do before allowing orders, or if they went from stock to none/never had any to begin with. Because in theory its not release time yet

i don't even SEE the RTX 3080 FTW3 on newegg lol

Did the trick where you lookup 3000 series in general then narrow down price range untill the card you are looking for just shows up, even though there is no price on it.

i do have the link in my search bar, but idk if that specific page is removed or if that's the live one,

I don't really know what I am part of this group. I buy EVGA card for resellers, but EVGA does not sell to Australia off its site. :( I don't see the benefits on being an 'Elite Member' lol I'm hanging out for a 3080 with water block and I don't think the Hydro Copper cards are coming to Australia.

Yeah I know. I will just have to wait till next year to get one. I have two 108ti cards at the moment and my loop is way to big to just take them out and have an air cord till I can get a block. :)
 
I just have to be patient. 

I'm also down with grabbing a FE card if I can get my hands on it.

Part of me doesn't really want to. Looking at the 3080 PCB and its components, layout, and cooler design, I'm honestly kinda confused about the price they're selling it at. 
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, or anti-Nvidia, and I believe there's still a decent margin for them on the FE cards... but...
polymer caps, awesome coils, a 12 layer PCB to try and avoid crosstalk on that squashed of a layout, dual sided memory on the 3090... This looks like components I'd expect on a high dollar OC card like the FTW3 or Aorus Xtreme series, and not like any of the previous FE cards from Nvidia, especially at the entry level cost of the cards.
I feel like this is kind of a stab in the back for board partners, especially EVGA who has consistently made the best Nvidia series cards out there for years.

EVGA might be a small company compared to some of their competition, but literally everything you guys have designed has been done extremely well, and you've always held up to your RMA and warranty promises. 
 
The FE card would be easier to fit into my case with a waterblock, but I'm still gonna try and cram the FTW3 into it. :D:D

Has anyone seen FTW3 reviews anywhere? Not even reviewers have them apparently because it's been a while.

No real specific reviews for it, but I think GN did a bunch of custom card comparisons for stuff that was available. 
I'm sure it did just as good as, if not better than, the cards priced around the same.
It's EVGA's power design, so it probably OCs and maintains boost better too as long as there's decent airflow in your case.

How big of a difference is there between xc3 and ftw3 when it comes to cooling? Is it just a few degrees or more? 

Obviously I have no hands on experience with these cards, but if it's anything like the difference between the 2080 XC ultra and the 2080 XC2 ultra, it could be as substantial as 7 °C to 10 °C at full fan speed on an open test bench.
obviously air cooled components rely heavily on case setup and airflow. 

Do we know which 3090's will be available today??

3090 FTW3 Ultra is listed at €2277.83 in Sweden
