Just got my notify also.  I mean, it does come with the 1600w P2.  Sigh. 
 
I wonder if EVGA could bump it up to a T2 or are they short those?


Yeah, I feel like we should at least get a T2 if we're paying this much for a 3090 Ti at this point

I just purchased a T2 about a month ago when it was on sale. Unfortunately, I will now have two 1600W PSU's. I guess one will go to a family member.

I currently have a 1600 P2, so now I'll have a backup in case this one dies I guess lol

Really don't need to be overly concerned over having a P2 (80+ Platinum rating PSU) instead of a T2 (80+ Titanium rating PSU) - both are very high quality, and there's very little difference between them.
 
Facts:
There's only a 1% difference in minimum efficiency between Titanium and Platinum at full load (90% vs 89%).
There's only a 2% difference in minimum efficiency at 20% load (92% vs 90%).
There's only a 2% difference in minimum efficiency at 50% load (94% vs 92%).
 
That's pretty much negligible for the vast majority of users except maybe a few of the world's top ranked LN2 overclockers, and even then it's likely not a big deal.
 
The only other 'difference' to note is that 80+ Titanium rated PSUs are guaranteed at 90% minimum efficiency at 10% load, while ALL other 80+ rated PSUs only begin their efficiency guarantees at 20% load, which is really of zero concern for overclocking.
 
That's it.
 
As to why EVGA are packaging these quality high efficiency PSU's with the 3090TiKP - I'm assuming they want to make sure owners have sufficient wattage and clean power to run them at peak performance and not have them under-perform because of insufficient power delivery or inferior quality power delivery.

One thing I have noticed is the notices that have been reported are still all day 1 launch sign ups.....

Yeah but the 1600W T2 is at least 35% more baller.

Got my notify this morning.

Going to pass since they bundled a PS I don't need and raised the price.  I think the bundle helps EVGA with margains since the card came late and it's limited in qty.
 
My next power supply must come with 16-pin connectors.

Fair enough. I am not justifying the bundle, but I think EVGA is throwing in the PSU almost for free.  The PSU regular price $499 and it is on sale now for $399; the cost for the 3090 Ti KPE is $2500.  The 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hybrid is $2200.
