Do I even want to bother signing up for the Nvidia lottery? These cards are bad and melt.

I mean options are free and not the worst thing to have. Worst comes to worst you just ignore the email when it comes through. I signed up for both just because. I remember during the 30XX signing up for some queue through Nvidia or EVGA but it was for a SKU they like never made any more of at all. People were posting their emails and sign up dates and everything, no one ever saw a single card come out.

I had signed up for the Evga on two 3080s, one that was waterblocked. I got the emails like 4 and 6 months later.

5070ti reviews are confirming what we already knew. The card is only worth picking up if you can get it for $750 msrp and if you’re not upgrading from the 40 series Nvidia or 7900 series AMD.

I’m hoping the AMD cards review well at a better price point.
