Since the que system started the only emails going out have been for the top FTW# ultra card and now this week its the xc3 ultra emails and ftw32 ultras still going out all the lower end cards going to retailers? i dont know the FTW3 gaming has had no emails and no sight of emails to come there have been tons of people tweeting about it i dont know the process the cards get made in but seeing evga cards out in the wild bought from other sites they are mostly lower cards i could just be overthinking things since i have waited years to upgrade gpu still on a 1070ti i upgraded everything but it preparing for the 30 series and i love evga period just hope those of us who qued for the lower spec cards to save money will get a card soon i should have just auto notified for every card but just did it to the cards i really wanted then weeks later added the top end cards when noticed they were only emails going out and everyone else did it as well go look at the graph of sign ups for cards the FTW3 ultra jumped after only that sku getting sent out. im not writing this to throw shade because others are already saying it im just hoping it helps get more lower end cards made for everyone its all love trust me  

I wonder /s

Thing is if like all of their silicon can hit ftw3 clocks it only makes sense to produce those first. Not just from a profit standpoint, but from a waste standpoint. It would be a huge waste to build lower end cards if all the silicon they are getting from Nvidia is coming in at high quality. Especially with the GPU demand right now.

If we assume most are hitting 1800 then they may only be producing 1 lower end per 4, 5 or maybe even 20 high end cards.

Evga can't guarantee they'll get 1800 clocking silicon forever so they have to put it in the high end cards or next year they might not be able to produce the high end ones.

Maybe they'll add another sku between the two eventually if they are finding it hard to produce the lower end ones.

i kinda understand the binning process from watching a msi tour of there gpu facility. i guess for me its just i waited for the 30 series launch to upgrade and have saved the money to do it and cant get a damn card anywhere i have resigned to waiting on an email from evga cause i believe in there customer service for all they have done since this launch i just want a card so i can get back to gaming and streaming 

 It's just that most chips will hit the clocks for FTW3 cards so it makes sense for them to sell those cards in higher quantity at first. People are desperate for any card so they are more willing to pay more right now. We are all in the same boat as you. Not many people can get a card. I sold my 2080 Ti and cannot wait to get back to gaming too. My main system has no card at all right now. It's just that they don't have enough cards at all let alone enough to satisfy every SKU. Quite frankly I cannot believe how few cards they actually have shipped so far. I thought they would have shipments of hundreds of cards every few days but I guess my assumptions were way off. It's Nvidia trying to beat AMD to the punch with marketing so they announced the cards way before they should have to do a proper launch.

Nvidia lie so much i hope they get sued some how lol

i just dont understand the little amount of inventory actually getting to customers with all the AIB partners and last year msi was making 1 million cards a month of different sku's i know each year is different but it doesnt seem as if there are even hundreds of cards getting sold monthly even if the data we see from the google doc is only 25% reporting its still such a low quantity of sku's going out and only top end for each kind of card 

It's pretty crazy. Been through lots of launches back to 8800 GTX and never seen anything like it. Either Nvidia is holding back or Samsung really sucks at fabbing chips. My guess is the later. Really though blame Apple for taking up all of TSMCs fab space. You can notice how ever since Apple switched to making their own chips and using TSMC, Nvidia's chip production schedule has suffered. And now they couldn't even use TSMC so we got stuck with Samsung. Power hungry and low quantity. Not to mention Apple has already secured all of TSMCs 5nm fab space. We all suffer so people can have iphones on the newest process node.

Looks like nothing has gone out today except a few cards that were possibly unclaimed from Friday and were reassigned today to the next on the notify list. That is a far cry from the supposed ramping up of production we were led to believe was happening this week. Getting a little difficult to try to stay positive... 
 
I'm also a little concerned about the increasing issues people appear to be having with these cards when they received them. Are NVidia rushing past QC in order to just get cards out the door to meet even a small percentage of the demand?
 
Thanks NVidia.

You do realize it’s only Monday right?

What's your point? Almost nothing went out today. That is not ramped up, it's not even staying at the same rate, it is a very definite decline. I hope that will change, but it's been over a month since the 3080 was launched, and not much shy of a month for the 3090, and look how little has come out in all that time. That's pathetically poor production planning.
 
..and just to reiterate, this is not EVGA's fault, this is all on NVidia.
 

The point is that it’s only Monday. Every week has been more cards than the prior week. To go on complaining that they aren’t ramping up when you have no evidence of that being true isn’t honest. Again. It’s only Monday. Let’s see what happens this week. At the end of the day no one is forcing anyone to buy these cards. Go pick another vendor. I get notifications everyday on discord about availability and I have actually added cards to my cart to see if I could but never purchased because I’m ok with waiting. If you aren’t then go find some other card. You could probably have one on it’s way to you in a day or 2.

You're trying to defend this crap release and lie by nvidia? There is a lot of explaining to do. I hope AMD will crash them just for the hell of it.

We are allowed express our frustration if we want to, and we're allowed to call out NVidia when they deserve calling out. I realize that the fascist act of cancelling others' opinions is 'in' right now, but that's a double edged sword. Suggesting I go buy some lesser brand is intentionally obtuse.
 

Good lord, someone calling you out on your "opinion" that no cards going out today is indicative of a "far cry from the supposed ramping up of production" isn't fascism, it's just presenting evidence shows that you're "opinion" is has no basis in reality.  It's fine to express frustration, but conjuring up pseudo-facts that are impervious to criticism because they are an "opinion" is super lame.  Don't even get me started on the flippant use of of the word fascist, which seems to be a fun little buzz word that no one understands the definition of anymore.

Why is the title in all CAPS? Someone yelling?   

Yes, we are all yelling.  But like a REAL MAN I keep it on the inside, buried deep down so that ONE DAY I can USE THAT PAIN to BUY A SPORTS CAR

I know what it means and that it certainly doesn't apply here by definition, and I too am tired of seeing it thrown around whenever anyone doesn't agree with someone else's opinion, but since it's become such a widely-used (or flippantly-used) term these days, I tried it on for size.. for the first time, believe it or not. Looks pretty stupid doesn't it? Felt it too. Fair enough calling me out on it, I agree.
 

Fair enough.  I get the frustration, though.  I should point out that a number of people did get notification emails for the 3090 today which, until late last week, weren't getting sent out at all.  I don't even want a 3090 but since I'm only 10 away (per the spreadsheet) I just know I won't be able to resist.  Capitalism strikes again!  Despite that, though, it seems like EVGA is doing things so much better than the other partners, so I get that people are quick to defend them, even if there are legit concerns over the speed of pumping cards out, and even if Nvidia is the real target of those concerns.

Guys, I just want my Tickle Me Elmo FTW3 Ultra.
