Just dropped mine off at FedEx, was $57 for ground.
Out of curiosity, how much of that total cost was insurance? And did you also add signature required?
Thanks!
I know you didn't ask me but... The card I'm shipping back was on sale for $799.99. So I insured it for $800 and that cost an extra $11.99 where I shipped.

Looks like there was a pretty solid step-up drop yesterday? The list moved up like 30-40 minutes.

Looks like we moved by 9.. so if we move 9 each week.. I bet I get my card by Feb.. not bad.. originally was April
I've been thinking about this.
The people who were getting in within the first hour are also probably more likely to be the type of people to track progress in a forum thread.
So they should be more highly represented in the list.
People who got in on the next day, or two or 3 days later probably don't care as much, so they are less likely to be on a forum thread tracking.
I wonder what the reality is, though. Were the bulk of the people getting in the queue in the first day? Or was it fairly steady over the next few days as people realized they weren't going to find a card, so they went and bought a 2070 super so they could join the step up queue? I know there is definitely a spike right at the beginning, but am curious how the curve looks past that.
I bet after the first few days it slowed down a lot. Probably had basically two types of people: - Those who already knew step up would be the best/only way to get a card and did it as soon as it was available. - Those who aftert the first ~week accepted defeat and bought a card purely for step up. It will probably move pretty darn fast after they're through the first few days I would think as after that it was probably a much slower, steady trickle of people doing it. Not to mention, for the last 2 weeks or so, EVGA 2000 cards are VERY hard to come by from authorized sellers. So its not like there is/was even thst many cards out there to buy in the first place to even start the step up process. TLDR: I believe it will slowly ramp up and move faster and faster over the coming weeks.

I'm glad to see some movement. My Step 1 email didn't come until 10:20 AM on Day 1 so I'm hoping to get to step 2 in about 2 weeks or so. That said, no complaints about my 2070 Super, which I currently have frame rate locked at 60 fps so that I can play Pinball Arcade. Can't wait to check out Cyber Punk 2077.

Just personal reasons, not being able to afford the $265 upgrade from my 2070 Super at the moment. Moving into a house with a friend so I definitely can't be spending that amount at the moment, I'll resubmit for a position in 2 weeks or so, so it gives me time to save up and for stock to open up. Not to mention I'd need a new PSU as well, just not worth it for me right now. I'd also be using a 1080p monitor, so yeah again, no point right now.

Haha, I feel ya man. I had a buddy tell me to let him know what I think of it when I get mine (shipped mine this week from Korea so using a 970 for a few weeks). Coming from a 2080 Super on a 1080p monitor ... I told him I already knew what I think... I won't see a dang difference! haha. but for $65 I'm set for a while and in the market now for a respectable 1440p monitor. Too many options, I wish there were only like 5 to pick from. Anyone have great options please send them my way, I want a 32in at 144+hz, gsync preferred.

Sadly, no. It says so in the step up FAQ, but I still called and asked. They confirmed that the only way is to cancel your step up and start over again at the bottom of the queue.

The STEP 5 email from EVGA this week includes the following: "EVGA will ship your Step-Up within 1-3 Business Days of receiving your original product to the following address based on your account information. If the address below is not correct, or if you need to update it for any reason, you can change the address on your profile and it will automatically update in our system. This must be done BEFORE your original product is received for the change to take effect for this Step-Up" Edited: you were talking about shipping method. sorry.

It does. Which is why I ended up calling. But that line only applies to a true RMA. EDIT: Heh, just realized that you were talking about shipping address after you realized he was talking about shipping speed. But there was a (very deceitful and personally scarring) line from the RMA attachment on the step 5 email that, because I clearly didn't read your line, I thought you were quoting: "RMA Replacements ship via ground shipping. Upgraded shipping may be purchased after your RMA is approved, but before your product or collateral is received. You may upgrade your shipping by going to the My Products page (found here)." That line, sadly, only applies to true RMAs.

Oh I know. I'm building a new system around the 3080. My 1080P monitor is 60hz I believe, maybe 120, but I've honestly never looked much into that as the monitors were mainly for work first, then gaming. I didn't have the mindset at the time to look at gaming first then work (we're talking like 8 years ago at this point).

Just dropped mine off at FedEx, was $57 for ground.
Out of curiosity, how much of that total cost was insurance? And did you also add signature required?
Thanks!
I know you didn't ask me but... The card I'm shipping back was on sale for $799.99. So I insured it for $800 and that cost an extra $11.99 where I shipped.
I insured for $760, but not sure how much that increased cost by honestly as my receipt doesn't have a breakout. I can say that total shipping costs were $41 plus $11 for packaging. With tax, came out to about $57.

I have a 3770k running at 4.5ghz with a 2070 Super. A game like Death Stranding shows the typical cpu bottleneck of gpu around 60% and cpu almost 90%. Then I tested the game Control which shows the opposite of around 30% cpu with over 98% gpu. I upgraded from a 980 ti to the 2070 knowing I was probably on the edge of bottlenecking. I plan to upgrade soon anyways. So it seems there are new games which can still greatly use your gpu even with a 10yr old cpu, but you will also have your obvious cpu bottlenecking games.

From a rumor mill....take with this with a grain of salt but the market will be flooded with 3080 by the end of the month or beginning of November
I just saw something along these lines, as well. Source is very reputable, IMO.

Nah. I figured if we're still trying to keep track of step up orders by the time it gets to me - getting a 3080 is a lost cause anyway. lol

So far it has been 1 drop per card per week. 3090 step-ups may have dropped today as an example since the 3080 step-ups dropped on Tuesday.
