My son and I are building his first gaming/streaming computer. I’m holding out for any 3080 and was hoping to get one before Christmas to finish it. Does anyone think that’s possible?

Thanks for any replies

Not @ the rate where moving @ the moment, unless you can snag one @ retail or more cards start coming in. Seems where still stuck on the 9:17.

depends word is slow boats should be here this week or next and flood gates will open. right now seems whats been going it whats coming over via air shipping.

At least EVGA has the queue system so it's worth seeing. If not Christmas it would be pretty soon after I would think.

I say that would depend on the model of card you want. There is a spreadsheet you can look to see what position you're in. For the 3080 FTW3 Ultra, there are over 1000 people in line and that number is probably not all inclusive as it relies on people entering their info. Then there is the step up list for that card as well but that line will move slower.
 
They are making 10 models between the 3080 and 3090s. They will be adding Hybrid and Hydro Copper models soon in addition to 3070s which will probably have 5 skus as well. Without knowing EVGAs production capacity it is impossible to make a prediction

I mean, enter the queue. Maybe. But I kinda doubt it, unless Big Navi massively cuts into the RTX 3000 series market and makes them easier to get.

Hit the notification and keep watching every retail channel you can.
 
Also decide if you would be ok with "big navi" minus reviews currently and that might be an option.  OR if stock suddenly appears as rumors suggest around "big navi" launch... you might get lucky then.
 
Just not guaranteed but there is always a chance.

If I could give my other card slots away I would.. :(  All other cards I have 17th 7:43 Times..
 
Getting my FTW3 ultra today.  

Hard to tell. I'm on the cue for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra and 3090 FTW3 Ultra. I entered the cue in the evening of release date and have not gotten any emails.

Unless we see a massive increase in cards soon - absolutely not.
