The XC3 had an "add to cart" button for quite some time. I wouldn't be surprised if some orders actually made it through and now somebody needs to decide if EVGA EU is able to fulfill the orders in a timely matter... 
 
Just imagine you get a notification your cards you already paid for gets delivered in 4-9 months(MAYBE). 

The same for me. I saw the green button for the XC3 about 6 minutes before launch, bit I was not able to hit that button. When the yellow notify appared, the side crashed. At around 7:20, I was able to hit the notify, but I got an error message of havin several tabs open, though that was not true. The system logged me out and it took ages, to log in again. Finally, I ended up witht these timestamps...

I am curious, whether this will happen earlier than my long lasting notify for the 3090...

Hi Bovie
 
Spreadsheet updated. Do you have an affilliate code if I do manage to snag one I can use? Otherwise I will use enute's.

Nope, I dont have an associate code. Just a regular like the rest of you.
 
Not sure if those can be used on the EU shop, but feel free to try.

People from NA queue who entered after me are already getting their purchase links. Hope the EU queue will start going soon as well.
But it's still nice seeing people actually being able to buy cards.

It's nice to see people getting cards but it's sad that 99% of them are on the other side of the pond :(

afaik notifications are only sent during local office hours. So we could see something happening tomorrow in the early hours but I highly doubt that.

How did people sign up before 7am PST? AFAIK the page went live around 10m before 7 and the notify buttons came live around a few mins after 7. There are entries on the spreadsheet for 6:30? The page was a 404 at that time.

I don't even know how they managed to sign up so early, because i refreshed the page for 2 hours every 20 seconds and the only 5/6 times i loaded correctly the products page the notify window would not load. The situation got better only at 8:30

404 for some, for some not, I guess. Depends on your luck at that exact moment.

There was no loading issues until about 10 mins before 7, you could reliably load the pages on eu.evga. There was no entries for 3080ti at that time, like it didn't even exist on the nav. No idea how they managed it at 6:30.
 
Edit: Ah sorry misread the timezones, 6am was the time when it started, guess they just got super lucky on the loading!

Luck of the draw I guess. 
 
Like you jkh13, I was also hitting refresh and was on the site from a little before 6AM PST time/2pm UK time. The website was pretty responsive to be fair up until 13:55 UK time. After that it was a crap shoot. Due to work I wasn't permanently hitting F5, but I guess once every 10-15 mins I was trying it and the pages were timing out .... I guess due to load, couldn't get anything to load. The main page, the forums, nada. Things very much did improve about 16:15 and pages started to load, but there were issues of "Please only log in with 1 web browser" etc - which I didn't think I had, but perhaps it was cached somewhere. 
 
Anyway, to those trying tomorrow, don't give up you'll get on there!

They went live at 6am PST / 2pm UK / 3pm CEST. I was the same as everyone - just getting white screen time outs for most of the time just got lucky and got through about 20 mins in and it went back to timing out again after that. Just a fluke that i got one in i guess.

Yeah think it was just luck of the draw which request the server wanted to handle. I think you are probably the earliest one! Good luck on getting the card!

I’m in UK and got lucky and in reasonably early for the FTW3 - no buy invite though so far.

Good evening, seeing all posts plus what was entered on Neutro's sheet put's you at the head of the queue.
Please do not forget to report back your purchase email as your stamp basically covers 1 hour until we reach the first consistent batch of sign-ups at 7:20. That should clear the big question about how many people actually queued up in those chaotic minutes.
 
Jacob teased on twitter that 7:30 dates could be good, but he was probably talking about NA dates, but since the site problems were mirrored on the EU queues and stamps are not that different we may see some similar moves in the first days.
 
Needless to say that people inside the 6:00 - 7:30 AM PT window should keep an eye on their emails in the next few days, dont forget to check the spam folders as well. Emails should go out during CET business hours.

Yes - I’ll certainly report back when / if a buy link is sent. Nothing as of yet.

So is there any point in going for Elite for EU users at all?

Well I mean being queue number 1297 on elite day still beats number 39642 on the day after

My gut feeling says no..
Also, confused on what the 3070Ti pricing might be..
3080Ti XC3 is "available" for 1020 eur, being 0.85 MSRP pre-VAT
0.85 of 3070Ti is 510, 3070 XC3 Black being 520 already..
3080Ti FTW3 at 1225, 2% more than MSRP pre-VAT.

3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming is 610 eur pre-VAT.
3080 XC3 is at 715.

Meaning 3070 already fills the price range the 3070Ti is aimed at.
So either 3070 price drops, 3070Ti is priced practically the same as a 3070 or 3080... 
 
The 200 price gap between 3070 and 3080 MSRP is already compressed to 100, there isn't very much room for the 3070Ti...

The MSRP of the 3070 and 3080 is no longer 500 and 700 dollars. Not since january. Pretty much everyone raised the prices. Even evga.
 
And this will make the pricing of the 3070Ti tricky.
 
3070FTW Ultra is 610 euro, 3080FTW Ultra is 782, so i am guessing they will price it right in the middle. 690-700 for the 3070Ti FTW Ultra.
The 3070XC3 Ultra is 559, 3080XC3 Ultra is 749. So probably around 650 for the 3070Ti XC3 Ultra.
 
The Black SKUs are pretty much dead in the EU.
 
 
The 3080Ti XC3 Ultra seems cheap but it is still not the correct exhange rate btw. 1200 dollar right now is 990 euro :( But it is not far. Usually the exchange rate is 0,89 instead of 0,82 (the correct one). But we get used to that over the years, with pretty much all the brands.
