I'm comin'... for dat step-up!
 
Got a 2070 Super Hybrid coming, will be here in the next 2 days (probably Thursday or maaaaybe Friday), hopefully I'm not so deep in the queue I won't be getting a 3080 for like 2 months, but even if that's the case, at least I know I'll have one coming, 100% for sure, eventually, instead of having to continually watch several websites hoping a 3080 FTW3 will come in stock & that I can actually check out with it this time.

I am about to receive my 2070 FTW3 today. I think I will sign up for the step up program. I was debating cause I just needed a 2070 but I really want a 3080 now. 

For anyone new to the Step Up program, I did this for my GTX 1080 Ti when it first released. The whole process was straight forward and seamless.
 
I registered my Step Up for the 3080 on 09/20 at 8pm PST.
 
We'll see how long it takes, I imagine it'll go faster than what most people are thinking. It's nice not to have to camp websites for these cards now.

Step 2 is EVGA reviewing your invoice.
Step 3 is payment after the invoice is verified.
Step 4 is confirmation of payment submission.
Step 5 is shipping your card to EVGA.
