I'M IN THE RTX CLUB!!!

[eaglecash867]

After waiting since November, my turn finally came up for the EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 ULTRA on the EVGA waiting list!  Can't wait to see what this thing can do, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay $3000.00 to a scalper (which I never would have done anyway).

congrats on the new edition!  you'll love it.

Congrats !

I have the same card and got it the same way albeit several months ago.

Loving mine!

[eaglecash867]

Thanks guys.

 

Don, I got on their waiting list based on your post way back then about your getting on the list.  I think I got on there two days after you did.  Talk about bad timing!  LOL

[javelina1]

I was on the list for a number of cards.  I managed to snag a 3070 for my son, after being in the queue for 2+ months for that particular sku.  I was fortunate to get my 3090 via best buy.  just good timing for that one...

Yup.  That was definitely good timing, Javelina.  I was all set to pounce on an ASUS ROG STRIX at Best Buy, had a reminder on my calendar to go to their site at exactly the opening time on the release date.  Went there...and BOOM...out of stock, and then they kept changing the availability date.  EVGAs waiting list was really well-handled.  Went to their site and my login info was already stored since I'm using Chrome.  Logged in, and there it was, my own RTX3090 just sitting there waiting for me, at the price I was originally told it would be.  Kinda cool that they held it for me, even though they never asked for money up front to get me on the list.

I guarantee you’ll see a difference. Great patience and congrats.

***Awesome Card*** VR Paradise

It’s a beast, and all the memory comes in handy. It made, along with a major CPU upgrade and a G2 headset, VR a joy to use. After two weeks of getting everything working, lol, but that is the current nature of VR.

I had pretty much given up on getting one, and then the e-mail just came out of the blue today at lunch time.  Just got my UPS tracking number a few minutes ago.  Thanks for mentioning how you got yours.  I never would have thought to get on that waiting list without seeing that post of yours.

Woot buddy!, you're almost there!  I know the feeling, once I had my 3090 in my hands.  An awesome feeling, after spending literally months doing the F5 tango on multiple websites, every morning...

Congrats to your new card, great choice. I would love to have waited long enough, now I have a RX 6800 XT which performs not that strong in 7680 x 1440 resolution. So if you don´t know where to go with your actual card, please PM me

Take care and much fun with the new beast

Welcome to the club! RTX3090 is the best damned graphics card I've ever owned, worth every penny. 

[eaglecash867]

Got the 3090 installed today and I'm pretty happy with it so far.  I started off in the DCS A-10CII cockpit on the NTTR map and the first thing I did was to move my head back and forth laterally to check for image smearing.  I got minimal smearing, but it made me wonder if I was getting a performance improvement, because my 2080ti had similar results.  Flew the Weapons Practice mission and found the colors to be a little richer with slightly better clarity for my current settings.  Everything was great, but I still wasn't sure about how much better it was than my 2080ti.  Then I remembered that I was doing some experimentation last week with getting fluid video in Virtual Desktop while watching 3D movies.  As it turns out, my new 3090 had done all of what it just did with Motion Reprojection turned off!  LOL!  If I had tried the same thing with the 2080ti, I would have noticed right away...it would have been smear/stutter city.  Definitely happy to be in the club after all this time!  Lots more experimentation and tweaking ahead to see how much better I can make it, visually.  Didn't think it was possible to get much better than what I had, but its looking like it is.

Yup.  Movies like Avatar 3D have lots of dropped frames on slow-moving objects when Motion Reprojection is enabled.

Congrats on your new card. I'm still waiting on 2 notifications. My first submission was on 11/2020 for the FTW3 Gaming and second was on 01/2021 for the FTW3 Ultra. Unfortunately for me, I'm still waiting on either one.. Keeps us posted on your experiments.
