Thanks for all the info so far. Could we please get confirmation on what "2.2 slot" and "2.75 slot" means in actual measured dimensions? Will it utilize a 3-slot IO backplate, or a 2-slot? And for the width within the case, how does "2.2" and "2.7" translate into MM for the total thickness of the card (PCB with all fans, heatsinks, etc.)?
 
Thank you!

I/O bracket for all models is a 2-slot bracket.  This will allow for a slightly wider card to fit in cases that some people had difficulty with on the 20-Series 2.75 slot cards.

Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models with backplate (XC3 Ultra/XC3) is 1.78in. - 45.1mm.
Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models without backplate (XC3 Black) is 1.61in. - 40.9mm.
 
Thickness of the 3090/3080 FTW3 models with backplate (i.e. all of them) is 2.19in. - 55.55mm.
Thickness of the 3090/3080 FTW3 models without backplate (manually remove) is 2.02in. - 51.35mm.

 Thanks LeeM.
Man tough decision. case can hold a gpu max 45mm.
but then i think in the past Black edition cards were BIN a bit worse...

I guess the x.2 is more about the backplate width

Do we know for sure that EVGA will be releasing a 3080 card on the 17th to buy?
 
Nvidia said that would be the case for the 3090 in one of their slides, but didnt see mention of 3rd party partners for the 3080.

Are there any specs yet about the length of the different cards? In particular the FTW3. Thank you in advance.

Will the 3080 be added to the step-up when the product is released?

@EVGATech_LeeM
 
Can you confirm which 3080 boards are based on the reference PCB design from Nvidia?  Will probably make finding aftermarket waterblocks a bit easier.

Yeah, sorry guys.  No pricing details yet.  I wouldn't expect that until the on-shelf day that NVIDIA announced.

No worries, thank you for the reply! Going to cross fingers!

Hi Lee!  I am asking specifically regarding EVGA's own cards, that is if y'all are allowed to say yet. I saw EVGA's full range product page but prices weren't listed yet.

I think he was asking if AIB cards, EVGA specifically, will start at lower prices than the FE card prices that Nvidia announced today, because that has been the case with previous generations.  But I'm going to guess that's something EVGA doesn't want to disclose at this point. 

Yeah, sorry guys.  No pricing details yet.  I wouldn't expect that until the on-shelf day that NVIDIA announced.

Did Nvidia seriously embargo your pricing as to non-compete with the founders cards?

since nobody was able to answer my question
 
Ekwb sold waterblocks for 2080ti Strix... which is a direct competitor to evgas ftw3.
what this is telling me is that its a no brainer to buy the 3090 Rog Strix card since i can have the upgraded custom pcb from day 1 (aka better overclocking than standard cards) and then possibly convert it to water later.
So my question is, will evga sell their own conversion kits for ftw3?? 
 
If not, then everyone who watercools will have to wait a long time to get their 3090.. meanwhile ppl will be enjoying cyberpunk maxed out while you will be a loser just waiting.
The alternative? Abandon evga and buy a FE card or see who alphacool/ekwb supports.... and very likely it wont be an evga card

Hopefully we will find out more details from EKWB before the launch. They have a newsletter signup for hopefully that will give us some info before the 17th/24th.

• XC3 cards will all be 2.2 slots.  Length is 11.23in. - 285.37mm / Height is 4.38in. - 111.15 mm.
• FTW3 cards will be 2.75 slots.  Length is 11.81in. - 300mm / Height is 5.38in. - 136.75mm.

Thank you for taking so much time to answer all the questions here; I know it's been a busy day. Sorry to add another one to the pile:
 
What is the length of the PCBs for the FTW3 cards?
 
I ask because I'm using a Meshify C with a 30mm front mounted radiator and have a theoretical max length of 285mm or 295mm if I switch from 25mm to 15mm fans. I'm curious if I could use an NZXT G12 to replace the stock cooler and fit a 3090 FTW3. Since I'm hoping to water cool both the CPU and GPU with 240mm radiators, both the top and front slots will be in use.
 
Thank you for your time.

All of you begging for pre-orders, maybe they just have a ton of stock this time around?  EVGA, please tell us this is true.  We're all still locked up.  We will buy these cards like pancakes.
