Tomorrow 6AM is for EVGA Elite members only. Regular members will be Friday 6AM.

To become an EVGA Elite member you can either make an account and register an EVGA product (I have eligibility from owning a 1080 back in the day) or make 100 posts in their forum, lol.
i have owned more than 80 of EVGA video cards....not sure if i can be elite member...

Update: Just enrolled ... XDDD

Because I have a pre order with mikes I was offered a different 3080 for $1799.



Quote:
Hi,

We have a small allocation for ZT-A30800F-10P making its way to us shortly, and we'd like to extend the offer to purchase one to all customers who preordered and are currently waiting for ZT-A30800K-10P.

Due to a variety of global factors impacting the supply chain between the manufacturer and suppliers, the cost of these items to retailers has increased significantly. The price for this item will be $1,799.99 + tax, and the difference will need to be paid if you would like to make this upgrade. We can only offer 1 unit per person.

Please let us know by the end of the day today (June 2) if you are interested in this swap. Due to the limited quantity incoming, we will be offering this to each customer from the oldest preorder to the newest, so we may not be able to fulfill this offer for all interested parties. We will reach out as soon as possible with confirmation and instructions on how to proceed.

If we do not receive a reply, your current order will remain in queue in its current position.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Have a great day!

Regards,
- Jaden J.

Yeah, there was a big stink about it on reddit because people misunderstood it.

They thought Mike's was doing a bait and switch forcing them to pay the difference, but when really Mike's was just offering another alternative for those that rather not wait.

Last year, I bought a 5700XT for my brother during an Amazon price error for $430.

Ended up selling it for $1000 today to a miner off of Craigslist and using that same amount to buy a 6700XT reference model for a nice and free upgrade.

Can't get any GPU's. Getting in early before it got big but I think it's kinda late now. Also had a bunch of the hardware sitting here.

won't be able to mine ETH by end of 2021 I heard.......
Which is only 6-8 month left to mine.

Probably will mine RVN after.

Then, each 3060 will be making $2.20 per card.
3080 will be making $4.40 per card...

Thats if crypto market stay the same as now.

Ergo is the second most profitable coin right now. But who knows what will happen to the price when everyone switches.

heard on reddit there is hardcore scammers going around buying the newest nvidia GPU, Shipper sends it, gets paid via email RBC email transfer ...he ends up reversing the charges and gets away with it.


RBC bank basically said to the seller "We don't have that information who it is that reversed the Fraud charge"....and so a guy is out $1900 from a 3080 rtx.


EDIT: found the thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfin...t_are/cuwxodl/


anyways i still think its possible to happen in 2021

I think the catch in this case is he fraudulently accessed someone's account... so the bank will reverse everything that happened when the person's account info is stolen.
