3080Ti Such a waste at MSRP $1199. 3090 offers more performance and +8Gb of GDDR6X. 3080 is still a way to go for gamers.

This is exactly what I was thinking. 1.2k for founders is a steep price!
Wondering how much will the EVGA lineup GPUs cost, I'm assuming the FTW3 has to be the same, right? It can't be 1.3-1.4k...Psh!

Considering the current ftw3 models are about $1-200 more than founders edition MSRP, it's perfectly reasonable to expect the  3080 ti ftw3 to be at least $1350

If they go % wise I'd expect the xc3 to be 1349 range and the ftw ultra closer to 1449 range. But we will see

I definitely could see that happening, and ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI will probably be in the $1500-1600 range. At this point, I fee like I made a galaxy brain play by picking up an FE 3090 in October. Even though back then I really only wanted an FE 3080 

100% galaxy brain the 3090 fe is now a value.... what a world lol

Can't wait. Just finished paying off the 3080 ftw. Now I'll have a new note on the TI 😁

I ended up just paying off my 3060xc entirely before any of the affirm payments hit. I want to qualify for Affirm for this crazy expensive card lol.

Awesome! Another queue that we won't be able to get through! Only been in the queue since launch day for a 3080. Still waiting ;)
/Sarcasm

it's a possibility but nvidia said there was handshakes between the driver and hardware with new sets of codes. last time nvidia leaked a fully unlocked driver so it was a self own. this time around hopefully they don't make a mess of things again.

So which 3080 ti GPU EVGA lineup gpu will cost 1.2?

My friend, I can say with near 100% confidence than none of the EVGA cards will sell for $1200. Only nvidia's Founder's Edition will be $1200. 

Wonder if i can upgrade from the 3080 to a 3080ti with their program?

yes how do you think i can afford these cards in general? mine in my off time and now i have the best gaming pc money can buy. now im mining so i can afford an oculus!

I genuinely don't think it's worth it tbh. I would just work on tweaking your 3080 OC to get it to its max. The extra 2gb is pretty minimal. You'd be paying like $5-600 extra to get maybe 8-10% gains

I can squeeze another 100 but no more, ill have to wait and see for the prices, otherwise ill settle with the founders

My 2080Ti was a XC Gaming (with EK block and retension backplate) and turned out to be a monster. Even with XOC BIOS, hitting a max of 2115Mhz and taking +1000 memory it has always been stable.
 
I'm expecting too much to hit the silicon lottery again, I'm sure, but if I can't land a XC HC I think I'm going to go the same route for the 3080Ti: regular XC with EK block and this time add an active backplate.

Idk, the 2080 ti was a beast overclocker, but this generation the 3080 and 3090 are kinda lacking in that department. SO I wouldn't expect the same gains, but imo I think it's a good idea to just go for the cheaper card when you intend to throw a water block on it. You'd likely get similar OCs. I would think the only card that would really be capable of better OC is if EVGA does a Kingpin for the 3080 ti

Yeah that has been my MO for a while: cheaper card and a good block. I've always been intrigued by something like a Kingpin but I'm never patient enough to wait to score one.

i hope i can grab one of these cards!

Who knows, maybe EVGA will bless us with a $1300 XC3 model. But the Founder's Edition is pretty sweet too. It actually benefits both air and watercooled setups because it throws a lot of air across the VRM and system memory if your motherboard doesn't have active VRM cooling. And if you have an air cooler, then it helps facilitate airflow directly into the tower cooler. So it does have its benefits. Only downside being it simply can't draw as much power as an EVGA card with XOC bios. And drawing more than 400 watts over the 12 pin connector isn't really ideal.

What are the odds of non-elites getting a shot passed the bots?

I'm going to go with right about ... zero

I would bet on that also being zero lol. My signature isn't working for my associate stuff :(

You're unlikely to be able to get one. Bots are up and running these days, your best bet would be something like trying to score one during a BB drop. The reason EVGA's queues are worth doing is because you actually can get the cards and at MSRP. Frankly, if you have trouble with that pricing, I'd suggest considering the 3070 Ti queue instead. Personally I'm just going to bite the bullet with the 3080 Ti FTW3, this'll cost less than the Zotac 3080 card I almost bought, and be a much better performer. I've failed to even get close to another card otherwise since this started.
