Congrats! Just curious, you wouldn't happen to know roughly when you signed up for the FTW Ultra notification, would you?

believe it was the morning of the 17th

Anybody else curious why this generation doesn't have cooling plates?

If history's correct, it'll likely be released later

oh not a block, I mean the actual cold plate under the heatsink. I felt like it was EVGA's thing. You can see them in teardowns from the last three two generations, but now they're all of sudden gone.

Different PCB/power design on this one.  We still kept a large copper heatsink for both the GPU and memory, while other necessary components connect to the heatsink directly via thermal pads.  Coupled with all models having 3 fans, you end up with a lot more airflow on the card, as well.

I think they just come with the sag bracket

I'm talking about the black aluminum that's left attached to the pcb when removing the heatsink. It's like a back plate for the front of the pcb. I'll try and grab a photo when I have time

Here's a 2080

Dumb question: do these cards still come with a DVI> Displayport adapter like previous generations?
 
(Don't worry.. my main monitor is a beast. But my second one is A-N-C-I-E-N-T and my current card is a 1080, so I never needed an adapter before.)

Not the 3080 or 3090, no.

So any updates an literally anything yet? Or still all quiet on the western front?

Seems like the best place to go for updates is EVGA Jacob's twitter. Despite how frustrating this launch is, at least he's putting out info. Seems like all the other AIBs are near-complete radio silence.

Great!! Thank you... I’ll give’m a follow.

Do the EVGA NV-Link Bridges (100-2W-0030-LR & 100-2W-0029-LR) work with the 3090 cards or do they require new ones?  
Edit: Looking at PCB break downs, these are different. 

 no you will need new nvlink bridges for rtx 30 series cards either nvidia ones or wait for evga and board partners to release the new ones.

Oh man, it DID come with a DVI adapter! I bought one for nothing and will never see that $8 again. I HOPE YOURE HAPPY 😂

Your set up sounds like mine. On the bright side you probably just saved me $8

Hahaha, happy to be the sacrifice

It's great to hear that EVGA has an organized queue process based on date stamping for those that signed up for alerts.  While sites like Newegg and B&H Photo also have alerts, I'm not sure how those will work (e.g. could be a mass mailing to all that signed up for alerts, regardless of when the signups happened.)
 
For those that were lucky enough to get the in-stock alerts from EVGA, how much of a window of time did you have to order your card after the alert was sent?  
 
Is there any idea of when new batches of cards will be available, and what the lag time is related to the alert date stamp?
 
I'm quite concerned about the availability of 3090 cards, especially the FTW3 models ... doesn't look like there is much stock available overall and not sure when this will improve (NVIDIA has been suggesting it could be into 2021!)
 
Still waiting to get a shot at a 3090 FTW3 Ultra!

Doesnt look like there are queues popping for 3090's at all. They literally had less than 1,000 of these on release day id bet and they still havent restocked. Worrisome.

Jacob posted on Twitter yesterday they are expecting some 3090 cards in this week - hopefully.
My sign up for auto notify was not until Oct 1 so I do not hold out much hope for a 3090 FTW3 Ultra anytime soon.
But that is the card I will be holding out for.

Some probably means like 2 or 3, maybe 1.5. This is gonna be a painful process.
