I'm still waiting on step 2.

Yes, that is an exception. My comment on there was for the people who were specifically upgrading a gpu only for stepup, no other reason, which is what a lot of people seem to be doing. With how slow the queue is going right now, the stock queue would probably be faster. Obviously, im not trying to say not to buy a 20 series card. They are great cards and will easily get you through practically anything while you wait in the step up queue. I just know the wait is long and it seems that the stock queue is going faster than the stepup queue.

I have found myself hopelessly checking this thread daily at least five times

Yeah that is about average. 😉

Just wait till the day comes when you wake up from dreaming you got the next step email only to then check your email to know you haven’t. 🤪

Anyone that got their step 2 last week (the 19th specifically) get their step 3 email? I have tried reaching out to customer service but have not heard back. 

I haven’t yet.

Nope and it's strange.. and concerning.. we have been this patient thus far.. but seeing as previous rollouts have received step 3 within the same day as Step 2, or at the latest 24 hours after step 2, it's now been 4 days and nobody seems to have gotten to step 3..

I sent a tweet to @evga_JacobF to see if I he has any info. No response yet. 

  
Just called customer support, gave my Step Up ID, got put on hold while he asked a manager, and they confirmed Step 2, but said they have to wait for a manager's approval per Step-Up request ID to send it to Step 3.. guess managers just weren't approving anything Thursday, Friday, or Today thus far (Assuming they are not working on weekends).  They said it could be today, tomorrow, etc.. the anxiety is killing me lol
 

Card received today from UPS and installed! Super excited. Thanks EVGA.

I did this not to speed up getting a 3080, but because my GTX 970 was unable to keep up with my new 1440P 144hz monitor.  2070 Super pushes enough frames and I'll happily wait until April/May for my 3080.

I'm shipping from Canada and worried about how long it'll be held up in customs. Costed me an arm and a leg to have it arrive there before the end of this week, but I think I'll still pull ahead (compared to buying it off Kijiji).
