Step 2: 8/3 10:36am
Step 3: 8/4 10:35am

. . . But. . . It's been so long that I obtained a 3080 elsewhere and decided to give the 2070S to a friend, giving her the option to use this step up. She chose not to and just to stick with 2070S, so I have canceled this step up. Hopefully the next person in line doesn't have to wait too long.

My Step up date was 10/14/2020. Hoping Step 2 comes soon. Upgrading from rtx 2070 XC to 3080 FTW3 10G-P5-3897-KL. Anyone close to my date get any progress yet?

Someone with 10/13 got their step 2 yesterday.

That's right I forgot to add my registration date, it was 10/11.

USPS tried to deliver my gpu to evga today but wasnt able to. Says they will try on the next business day.
Is evga closed on saturdays?

Well this all makes me happy, I registered for step up 10/15....I was beginning to lose hope lol

My Step 1 was 10/19, so I should be getting the Step 2 email sometime in the next week or two (hopefully). I'll say this... After waiting in a queue for going on 10+ months, I will never be using EVGA's Step-Up program again. At this point, I've seen multiple friends find MSRP 3080's at retailers in the last 3-ish months without even trying that hard. Being locked into the queue path -- and getting auto-downgraded to an LHR model in the midst of it -- has turned me completely off to this process for the future. I'll try my hand at the open market next time.

I agree with everything u said. I might try it again when the market isn't so bad if need be but it definitely won't be my first or second option.

You’re not locked in. You can buy a graphics card and cancel anytime.
You aren’t forced to do anything.
They’re the only company who does this.
If you dont appreciate it. Cancel and buy it yourself.

No need for hostility man. Everything you said we already know. He's not the only one who feels that way. Let the man vent. It's been almost 10 months
