Update: Schedule UPS delivery for my 3080 ftw3 is 5/17/2021 Looks like I'm finally getting my card after 7 and a half months. Damn

You definitely will be paying the new price after the 14th no doubt about that mate

If you're already in the stepup program they can't charge you more. They already quoted you the price.

Even the amount you entered as what you paid as credit toward your new card will be changed unless you entered the actual MSRP less taxes and shipping.  

Can you give me an example to this. Aren't you suppose to use the actual MSRP which is quoted on the site when you paid for it?

EVGA would know otherwise.

So how much is the 3080 ftw3 going up now?

Geeze I should've just paid the scalpers back in November at this point.

Corsair 850w and 1000w on sale at BestBuy atm.  Solid units.

When I entered my 3070 FTW3 back in January, I paid 730 for it plus tax.  It came out to around 760 after taxes.  I entered the pre-tax amount since the receipt is also used to very purchase for warranty.  So when I stepped up, I used that amount and it showed on the estimate initially as a 730 credit toward my step up.  When I got to step two, it went under further review and that's when it was adjusted to the MSRP of 680. 
 
I bought my card from an authorized reseller, and EVGA honored my warranty and step up once it was reviewed.  The MSRP of the card when you complete your step up is what you will pay.  There are some in the step up queue that got in before the price increases, and if you are one of those time is running out to pay the "grandfathered" price prior to the price increases in January.  If you don't finish your step up prior to that date which EVGA extended once already, you will be paying the EVGA MSRP for your new card minus what they credit you for your old card plus shipping from EVGA to you and your local tax amount.  
 
If you bought your original card from EVGA and registered for the step up, I don't think you need to upload your receipt.  When I completed my step up to the 3090 and registered for the warranty, i didn't need to enter upload a receipt.  I just selected that I got the gpu from EVGA.

So are those new prices already reflected on their respective product pages?

Wait, so I bought my GPU on 10/2/2020 and was grandfathered in but they have a cutoff date that I won't reach due to their inability to provide me with my StepUp in 7 months? How much more will we have to pay for the 3080? What will the new MSRP be? I know it will be cheaper than scalpers but it feels like EVGA is about to scalp me lol. Does anyone know if we are getting GPUs with the HRL? That will pull the resale value down if so. Common EVGA! We are the customers that paid you first we should be a priority. Bad form!

The price increases are what's currently listed on the product pages. I signed up on 10/1 for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra and at the time the price was $809.99. So the price for that card will increase by $80.
 
I paid a premium for my 2080S HC so for me it's only a $10 price increase but for others it's quite a bit more. Kudos to EVGA for holding out this long on the price increases.

Need to upgrade my psu before i receive my step up 3080 ftw ultra later this year. Which do you guys think would be the better choice out of these? ( I was considering the evga 850w bq because it is currently on sale at amazon, would it be good enough?)

Evga 850W BQ (bronze rated)

Cooler Master MWE Gold 850w V2

Nzxt C850 w (Gold rated)

If you go Coolermaster dont get that series, go for the V series and id preferably move to a 1000 watt unit so you have room for add ons while keeping your efficiency and unit longevity. Do not get a Bronze psu from anyone to run highend gpu's and the rest of your kit, not a good idea. After NZXT's case debacle i wouldnt trust anything they touch with electronics in it myself, but you can use them if you like. A Seasonic gold unit would be a better pick.

You can’t blame the GPU sellers for the price increase or EVGA it was because of the tarrif that the price increase happened and that was from Trump back in 2020

I agree that while EVGA felt that it needed to increase prices, it didn't do it to the same extent as the other AIBs.  They also tried to hold the price for those who they could provide cards to.  The prices they show in the step up is an "estimated" price.  It is not a quote or an invoice nor had they taken any money from you at the time of sign up.  The step up program is a customer friendly program that allows you to trade in your gpu and msrp credit toward a newer gpu.  
 
Also sharing from my experience is that if you had to pay a "premium" to get your original gpu, they only credit you the MSRP that EVGA lists as credit toward your step up card.  This has been hashed out before in these threads.  I thought I would get a full 830 credit toward my step up since that is what my receipt showed and was entered into the system.  When I got to step 2, the credit amount was adjusted to the msrp at the time of purchase which was 780.  I was lucky as the price over MSRP wasn't too bad.  My friend who bought a card couple of weeks after me had to pay a 100 over msrp which wasn't credited to his step up so basically he lost that.  
 
EVGA doesn't have to have this program, but I do wish they would provide more cards to the step up program rather than Linus' preferred gamers program.  This is a great program to reward brand loyalty, but the demand has been so high especially for the 3080 that it can't be met.  The other step ups queues are catching up, but with the best balance of power/price the 3080 just seems to be destined for this backlog for the life span of this generation.  With all these new 3060's coming out, those are people could very well be adding to the step up log jam in the 3080s.  
 
FYI, based on the threads the 3070 and 3090 step ups are within a couple of months of registration based on user shared info.  

It's really surprising how many people think EVGA should just absorb a cost increase they have no control over.

Just an update of what the FULL process looks like time wise in case anyone is curious.

I went with a Corsair gold 850w myself. Before stepping up to the 3080, I had a Corsair bronze 750 with my eVGA 2080 which ran for 12 years and still running.

I told Evga Jacob on twitter today that i saw on forums that the 750w-850w GA and GT psu's did not work with the 3080 ftw ultra and if it was true. He replied saying both are fine now. So im guessing they released a revised model?
 
Anyone here has bought one lately and can confirm that? Its on sale at amazon for $100 and im thinking of purchasing the 750w GA. But im worried lol. Its either that psu or the nzxt c850 for $125
