I truly wonder if I would be as excited about this if the GPU market was as "broken" as it is currently.  I think a new release gives + the queue system gives me hope that I can purchase a GPU.

Hope or false hope? ;-)

I pity the fool who sleeps through their alarms. You know there's gonna be tens of people who sleep through it minimum if they're on the west coast.

Worried about this, I have sleep issues even normally. As it is, going to try to go to bed extra early and just hope I wake up.

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

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.

Money isn't an issue to me, I am just disappointed. MSRP should have been at least 1k to start and 1.2 for the EVGA FTW 3. Paying 1.5k on a 3080 ti GPU is somewhat crazy when you can game top-notch with a 3080 at 700. You're paying $600 more for a couple more frameworks that can go to a ryzen 5900X or something.

the 1.2k FE price blew my mind too. I had to vent about it on facebook to friends. Guess I'm not eating for a long time lol.

It was definitely a surprise considering the 6900xt sits in between a 3080 and 3090 so you would have thought that nvidia would at least price is just a tad bit above $999 but nvidia instead went full price gouge and went as high as they could without stepping on the 3090 msrp too much. $1099 imo would have been a better starting price so that AIBs could hopefully keep even their top models under or around $1500.

But with the way they started the MSRP at $1200, we will definitely be seeing the likes of Asus and Gigabyte shooting for the moon with prices above $1600 for their custom models. EVGA might be the only ones with a reasonable price bump.

Absolutely! 💯 Anyway, best wishes to all, I will post back to this thread if I manage to snag a 3080 Ti. ✌🏼

Damn nice info

There sure is a lot of new accounts posting... Seeing a ton of accounts < 1 day old with 100 posts now lol. 

Yep, and sadly a lot of them are probably double dippers trying to profit by reselling the cards. I do think it would have been better if EVGA made the requirements for Elite a little more difficult to get or at least took away the 100 post count rule. It has made these forums a bit of a joke the past month.

Can't wait for this drop, have a 3080 OC from gg'sabite I got lucky on blueegg shuffle but I'm an EVGA fan and Ti guy! Let's Goooooo!!

Too late to get rid of the forum post requirement. If they had set the limit to 500, there would just be way more spam.

My suggestion would be to just take the post count out of it entirely and leave it as a loyalty system where you actually have to buy qualifying EVGA products so that at the very least it'll be less appealing to scalpers that are creating multiple accounts.

The only saving grace is allegedly EVGA is banning profiles that aren't actually contributing to discussions so maybe the elite pool won't be as bad as I think it is. Either way, I'm just happy I don't need to join a queue but my best friend is still trying to get a card since beginning of October.

I have a 3 year old that takes care of this for me haha

Hopefully I can get a 3080ti. I have been trying to upgrade from a 1070ti.

has anyone answered what the token system EVGA is coming up with? Please help answer this. 

I think most people are trying for this same thing, plus the 1070ti is not a bad card at all!

I'm in Alaska, RIP

I'm going to try so hard to get one of these. It'll be really out of place with ten year old 2700k but it is what it is. I'm hoping the Intel 12th gen will be more competitive. If not, I'll go with AMD and a 3080Ti by the end of the year.
