More are still popping up it appears on BB's website. Keep looking.

The 3090 FE popped up for a third time. Used a 10% birthday coupon on it so I bought it for $1350. Going to hold onto it until the 6900XT arrives to see how performance compares. Luckily with holiday returns I have until January to return it if need be.

LOL just got an email from that the EVGA 3080 is up for order at 1600...for an 800 card. Sold by micom pro. Pro scalper maybe. Just added them to my blacklist (the seller). Bastard has two in stock if anyone wants to to enable more scalping.

I picked one up at BB Website today. 3080 Reference Design...
 
Just got my email for evga 3090 ftw3 ultra, I don't think I want it.. anyone else want me to purchase it for them? My cost is $1951.05 total.. would want my cost back out of it after all fees/shipping etc.
 
What email address is evga sending the notices from? I want to make sure it's not filtered into the same folder as all the marketing junk I normally batch process once a week between loads of laundry.
 
This item is not in your cart yet.
Due to high demand, we're having everyone go through one more step before it can be added.
Please try again.

anyone else have a yellow add to cart button for the 3090 FE at BestBuy?

Multiple times. Never a success.

Better double check that return policy because BB has a pretty horrible return policy, I think 14 day max, and potential restocking fee. Just make sure their holiday return policy is valid for it.

It is. Was listed on the product page as extended holiday return until some date in January. I’m not going to open it until after the 6900XT launches if I end up keeping it due to not being able to get the 6900XT. No restocking fee on unopened items.
 
Evga sent me an email to buy a 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming but gonna pass, thing ends up at nearly $1950, getting a 6900XT instead. I'm sure someone wants it more than me.
 
I should be receiving my 3090 FTW3 Ultra tomorrow....but I am seriously considering not opening it...to see if I can snag a 6900XT and maybe a 5950x as a package deal trade. We'll see how things go.

A 5950X and 6900XT for just a 3090? Not a chance.
 
lol - I know...the price is the same range....I'm curious to see how things play out. I think I'll work on getting a 5950x either way.
 
Is EVGA still on day 1 orders? I have not kept up for a while.

Depends on the GPU. 3080 FTW3 Ultra are about 6 hours in on day 1. 3080 XC3 Ultra I believe are on day 2. The 3090 variants are already several days in. Heard of October notifications being fulfilled already.

I was oct 6th for 3090 ftw3 ultra and got my email today.
 
The 3090s are going a lot faster, the 3080s are still on day one I think, maybe early day 2 for the XC3 as exlink said.
 
I had signed up for the XC3 3090 as well...wonder if I'll get another email for that one soon..

This actually makes perfect sense. Trading would be very hard to do but NOT buying a $1800 - $2,000 with tax RTX 3090 and instead buying a 6900 XT or 3080 Ti and a AMD Zen 3 5950x for the same $1800+ not only makes perfect sense but is the BEST PLAY ... period ... one could make. You basically get the AMD Zen 3 5950x for free. ..... let's say that word again, "FREE"

Lot of people are now holding off on buying the RTX 3090. It's basically a very very bad investment at this point. Very hard to justify the 2% performance and the, up to, additional $1,000 cost over the 3080 ti or the 4gb of additional GDDR6X memory. The larger bus has proven to not give any real-world measurable performance advantages as well. I think when tested in the past, hi-res 4k tiles transferred across a 320 bit bus just as fast as a 384 bit bus. The error of margin was 1%.

6900 XT's with aftermarket coolers will not be out until Jan 8th of 2021. This is after AMD's 30 day "reference design" 6900 XT exclusivity expires and manufactures can start selling their 6900 XT with aftermarket coolers. Aftermarket coolers can bring an additional 5% to 7%.

AMD reference design 6900 XT releases the 8th of Dec. One thing people may not be aware of is that AMD has officially stated that the 6800, 6800 XT and 6900 XT "Ray-Tracing" performance is aimed at 1440p gaming. I believe this is an official statement from AMD.

Another thing people may not be aware of is that the 6900 XT only has GDDR6 memory and NOT GDDR6X memory that the RTX 3090 has. The RTX 3090 also has a 384 bit bus, the 6900 XT, a 320 bit bus.

The RTX 3080 Ti which will be within 2% performance of the RTX 3090 will be coming out in Jan 2021 as well as at a $999 price point.

At this point, buying a RTX 3090 will make little sense to most educated buyers.

People should also only consider the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero as it has a very unique feature no other AMD motherboard have yet. And that is the ability to OC and use CPU boost at the same time.

The RT performance of the 6900 XT is 25% - 30% less than that of the RTX 3080, 3080 Ti and 3090.

However, Crypto performance on the 6900 XT is supposed to be 1.5x faster over the RTX 3080.
