Is there anywhere to pre-order a 3060? If so, I'd be grateful if someone would give me the link(s). While I'm a long-term EVGA customer and I'd much prefer an EVGA card, at this point, I'll take any brand.

I only need ONE GPU, so I'll be removing myself from EVGA's queues for a 3060TI or a 3070 if I can get a 3060.

Don’t remove yourself from the queues. Put yourself in the queue for the 3060 as well. February 25 at 9 am PT is the date and time, I think

I'm pretty sure he means he'll remove himself AFTER he gets a 3060.

Yes. That's exactly what I mean. AFTER I have a card in my hands.


What I was asking is whether any of the retailers are accepting 3060 pre-orders. I'd be happy to pay in advance if that would secure me one.

FYI, the NASA channel is showing the landing on Mars right now...slightly more interesting than the r/wallstreetbets hearing.
 

Just tuned in to hear/see the announcement that it landed safely....woohoo!
 
I wonder what the xfer rate is like for data lol

The Mars lander was made about 5 miles from my home at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, California.
If you hear some reporter saying he or she is at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, treat whatever they are saying with a grain of salt. If they don't even know where they are, they probably have much of the rest of the story wrong too. (JPL has a Pasadena mailing address because the La Canada Flintridge post office is too small to handle the volume of mail JPL gets, but the facility IS in La Canada Flintridge, just across the City limits from Pasadena.)
 
A few years ago, when I was taking a Photoshop class at Glendale Community College, I got to retouch some photos from the earlier Mars landers for a video JPL was creating showing the landers. Because of the transmission distance, there were a lot of blank pixels that needed to be filled in using the colors from adjacent pixels. It was tedious work, which was why they used a lot of student labor, but seeing the finished video was one of the best events in my life. The GPUs we were using back then were nowhere near the power of today's GPUs, but one doesn't need much power to color in missing pixels. Maybe today with AI and modern GPUs, much of the work could have been automated.

I wonder if they've been dropping 3885's but we just haven't heard from the people buying them. My notification queue is only for 3885, and i'm really depressed there's been no word or movement on it for a long time now. @EVGA if you're not going to make more of this card, can you put my spot in another queue so I can buy a card? =/

Now this is the kind of interesting stuff that brightens my day to read here! Thanks for sharing, sir.

08G-P5-3753 KR -- the elusive 3070 black gaming. 10/29/20 at 9:20 AM ET 
YES
 

That's the XC3 "gaming".
The "black" is (08G-P5-3751-KR)
 
Either way, congrats.

It may be interesting BUT its also extremely off topic! Hopefully you saw the Moderators post earlier today about keeping this forum on-topic. Instead of having 806 pages to go through we should have less than half of that!

To be more accurate, we should have almost none of that, because the vast majority is queue updates and asking about the queue and discussions about the Ampere launch fiasco in general lol 

Got the email letting me know that 3070 XC3 is in stock, click on the link (already signed into my EVGA account), takes me to check out but I can't update the quantity from 0 to 1, or continue with checkout. Contacted support, they asked me to email [link=mailto:order30@evga.com,]order30@evga.com,[/link] hopefully, they can help me before my 8 hours are over (started at 1:53 PM CST/11:53 AM PST). Anyone else experience a similar issue? My EVGA account has the same email that I got my notification on. 
 
Added myself to the queue on 11/2/2020 1:59PM.

I believe some people had a similar issue with the hybrids last week when they sent out too many emails, but EVGA Customer Service should take care of you and I wouldn't worry about missing your time window. Even people who straight up missed their 8 hour window the first time have been able to reach out to EVGA and get their cards ordered. So I wouldn't worry if I were you, they'll get it sorted and you'll be doing some sweet sweet gaming in no time!

I'm only 54 minutes away since December, so if they are dropping the numbers are really small. I'm really gonna guess they aren't dropping at all.
