3080's where art thou?

[Dwayne]

I've put my name on 3 different cards at EVGA now, the 2 hybrid 3080s and the FTW3 Ultra. If they decide to push a 3080 Ti out I might consider a step up, since I am still a ways off from a card, but that is why I like EVGA. It isn't a lot of protection, but a few months is nice. It didn't help me with the 2080 I bought at the end of 2018 because the Supers didn't arrive until June-ish. Still, the thought is a nice one.

It will definately be interesting where it ends up. I have 78 days left on mine, but I just don’t think there’s going to be enough performance to justify $500 CAD to upgrade. I would love to be wrong ..

"Dear Customer,

Due to ongoing events, EVGA has made price adjustments on the GeForce RTX 30 Series products. This change was necessary due to several factors and will be effective January 11, 2021. EVGA has worked to reduce and minimize these costs as much as possible.

For those who are currently in the EVGA.com Notify Queue system or Step-Up Queue, EVGA will honor the original MSRP pricing through April 16th, 2021 if your purchase position is processed before this date.

Thanks,
EVGA"

The price for the FTW Hybrid went up $80 USD.

Happy I am in the queue, but the thing is, will I get a card before April??!!! Queued for 2 hybrids or the FTW 3 Ultra. I'll take any one of them.

Sure looks like all of them are raising gpu prices across the board. Glad I got my 3080 when I did, although I would most likely want to get the 3080ti if it comes out in time before my stepup runs out, which I doubt.

Prices are going up because the US tariff on certain Chinese electronics went from 7.5% to 25% on January 1.

And will likely be reverted in a couple weeks
