I'd be doing it, but the FTW3 is too long for my case. If it was an XC, I'd be all in at this point because gently caress it.

Once you initiate from what I can tell you're okay, you don't have to send the card until they're actually ready for you: EVGA Forums posted:1. Once you have submitted your request on the Step-Up page, EVGA will assign you a queue number and also email you confirming that they have received your request. The waiting in the queue is step 2 and you don't send the card till step 4. Warmachine posted:I'd be doing it, but the FTW3 is too long for my case.

3080s had a "Buy Now" button again in the nVidia store for a few minutes, but clicking it just brought up that pop-up that does nothing.

also re: step-up so long as you register right away you should be fine even if they don't get any 3080s till 2021.EVGA's site posted:We have a queue for our Step-Up process so you can keep your current EVGA product until we have your new product ready and waiting for you in our warehouse. Sometimes, very high demand will necessitate a longer than usual queue, but once you have made your request and you are in queue the 90 day limit no longer applies - you are considered in the Step-Up process. This seems like the way to go if you don't want to f5 sites constantly trying to snipe a 3080 from now till the end of the year. 2070 is still a big upgrade for me so I'm happy to use it while I wait for the 3080.

Vir posted:You just have to register for the step-up program within 14 days of your original purchase. More details here: https://www.evga.com/support/stepup/ Not quite. You need to register with EVGA for the card's 3 year warranty within 14 days. Then you need to register for the step up program within the 90s days of purchase. In other words, you have the full 90 days to sign up for the step up program as long as you remember to first register for EVGA's warranty within the first 14 days. mA fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Sep 18, 2020 |

I think I'd be more interested if I didn't have to send them the card and wait for the new one to arrive. I don't know how long that typically takes, but going without my PC for that long would be annoying.

As detailed above, you can keep your card until they have your card ready to send to you, so you'll only be without a GPU during cross-shipping, if we understand correctly. You won't have to be GPU-less until November.

The only other thing I can think of for the 300-ish "phantom cards" showing up in ~the system~ is that they're an allocation set aside for OEM/Boutique Builders/Streamers/sponsored E-Sports teams/etc.

They should have delayed the launch, I cannot believe nVidia did not know the kind of situation that was building up. I also hope they can ramp up production in a significant way or else we're going to sit here like this for half a loving year lmao.

Apparently Nvidia uses Digital River to power their storefront which has a checkout API, so once the item code was leaked, bots were able to submit their orders directly into the API even before the actual store page was ever updated. Anyone pressing F5 on the website had no hope of getting an order in. that Nvidia makes the most advanced deep learning and artificial intelligence machinery on the planet but can't stop a bunch of bots from buying up all their inventory on their website.

It wouldn't shock me in the slightest if there aren't more than maybe 200 3090s for the entire loving world. The 3070 launch will likely be even worse because this time around the 3080 is the better 'value' even though it costs more, so there'll be more of an incentive to prioritize binning/making 3080 cores over 3070 cores. And there's also the fact that it's a not-very-well-kept-secret that Ampere's been ready for a *while* and likely could've supplanted Turing entirely with another 6-8 months of lead time, but it was easier (and probably wildly more lucrative) to put out the 2xxx series so we could 'beta test' DLSS and RTX for them on glorified prototype hardware.

You won't have to be GPU-less until November. the only thing is it isn't cross-shipping so it might be a week or so. this is why i keep a spare crappy gpu as a backup. i'll finally sell my rx 480 during all this and place the rx 580 in backup territory.
