Oh snap! I'm next in queue! AHH. Anyone need a 3090 ftw3 ultra? lol

So I take it you have not received an e-mail from EVGA? Check your e-mail!

Nothing yet! Just checked the spam folder as well. oldmanian must have got a straggler card.

I would also check your My Notifies as well just to make sure.

Checked that as well. Should have clarified. Nothing yet!

Last big drop was a Wednesday I believe.

That is quite possible. Might be another month lol. As long as it’s before April I’m fine. I should get mine before then.

I’m trying load a picture here of my setup. Barely fits but I love it. I haven’t tried the oc setting , because I’m little worried that my 850 watts power supply would strain. Would you guys recommend me to upgrade ?

The card could draw 520 Watts maximum, if you are using an intel CPU and OC to 5.0GHz,that's 200 to 300 Watts, So in such case, I would recommend you to upgrade because running PSU at near full load in long term will accelerate PSU internal components aging. Aging will have negative impact on the total power output, voltage ripple performance, voltage accuracy. Most system coponents are not sensitive to these parameters. But the most sensitive components in your system is your hard drive, that is the least you want to lose.

I’m using Amd 3950x which I’m not overclocking.

Just an FYI folks, I've seen north of 520W of draw on the stock-LN2 BIOS that has a 520W limit.  Saw it peak as high as 535W on the OLED display - which I think is more accurate that HWInfo or GPUz because those only poll once per second and don't pick up spikes.
That was with some minor bumps in voltage through Classified Tool & with a pretty hefty OC though.  After seeing that the 1000W BIOS apparently sticks your vRAM running at full speed, I don't think I'll be trying that despite it being out there in the wild where you don't have to ask for it & thusly void your warranty just to give it a try.
 
I can say the load balancing of power on these cards is MUCH better than the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid.  Maximum draw I've seen from the PCIe slot hasn't even hit 75W yet, some of the 8 pins went slightly over spec during that 535W run, but nothing dangerous (5-10W) considering Vince has ran Kingpins drawing almost 900W EACH and didn't fry an 8-pin.
 
Good luck on the drops today everyone!
 
Edit: Oh, and the stock fans on the radiator are G_A_R_B_A_G_E - gaps on the fan blades are huge, they're way too loud at maximum RPM despite only spinning up to like 2200 - I swapped to EK Vardars today, we shall see how that effects temps, should be nice though.

I am also planning to replace the stock fans. Do you know what is the max allowed current. I know motherboard fan header usually have 1A limit. But brute fans single one can draw up to 1.2A, like gentle typhoon GT5400.

cool.

I am getting close and there are no power supplies at MSRP right now.  Have a 3080 I just unboxed from last week and have yet to run it.  LOL.  I never thought it would be harder to get a PSU than a GPU over the last few months...  May be a pass for me at this stage still!
 

I've noticed that PSU prices (especially the high end ones) have really skyrocketed in the last couple years, probably to make up for the beating they took right after crypto boom a couple years ago due to overproduction towards the end of it. I can remember getting one email from EVGA around then about the great deals they were having on PSU's, etc, so I hopped over and checked them out, and if I remember correctly, they had listed the SuperNOVA T2 TITANIUM 1600W, for under $300. I was tempted to pick up a two or three, because I knew that that was a dang good price, but as I already have a couple, and had been hearing for YEARS about how there would NEVER EVER be a need for higher power PSU's, because everything is going lower and lower power, CPU's, GPU's, etc., that they would basically become dinosaurs. So... I passed on them. Not really kicking myself over it, but seeing as the price has basically doubled for the exact same product... Oh well, same could be said about seeing what's happening to Gamestops stock too, $3.80 a year ago to $140 recently? Seriously? 

The 25% tariffs are what drove the prices up, that abs the pandemic

Any news for today?

Any news for today?

 
None yet.  And I doubt we will see the KPE drop again this week.  Yesterday felt like the last gasp of the straggler drops from last week's sizable storm.  Hopefully EVGA refills their warehouse soon.

yep, no KPE drops today, unfortunately.

Shoot I forgot to add myself and here I was thinking I'd be far off!

Added.  You are currently #3.  Good luck!

Well back to #47 lol
