The queue needs to have number that shows your position - or a expected time when you get to buy a card

Although it might be hard to integrate, having this over community-made spreadsheets that show your position is definitely an improvement.

any guess on how long the queue is running, ive been in it since start of the year and still nothing

There's a running thread on the que list

I like the idea of the queue system, but the lack of information surrounding it is frustrating.  Some members have done a tremendous job crowdsourcing information, and that has helped me understand where the queues are at and how fast they are moving.

The 3080 FTW Ultra is at 1200ish on 21 Sep.  It's only gone 4 days since launch.  At this rate it will be 2023 before some people get cards.  I hope Nvidia increases production to get more chips to AIBs.

It Must Be 1 Person One card ( all models )

One person one card of each model

I think it might be helpful if you posted a more exact date that you joined the queue (and possibly which queue). Then anyone responding in the forum could post if they have received a card from that queue on an entry submitted after you.  Otherwise, your case might simply be indicative of the extreme backlog facing the industry.

EVGA should be praised for creating the queue system in the first place. Im sure that making ur queue position visible is already planned and will be introduced eventually.

The queue is fine. The evga prices have also increased the least compared to all other AIBs asking for more would be them spending too much money for everyone to find something else to complain about. If you don't like the queue buy a card from another vendor.

1 person one model would be unfair to those who game as a family or couple.

If you want a gpu it's possible but you have to do the research and stay on top of it like a full time job. This is easier for some than others. Everybody knows the answer but in the prime age are not willing to accept that demand far out paces supply.

Persistence, patience or payment are the three P's of GPUs these days. Try til you succeed, wait til stock levels come up or pay a reseller/prebuilt.

It would be nice if they could figure out a way to improve the queue but I am just grateful the have something in place even if it isn't perfect. I just wish I would have put in for more card in case they drop one before it gets to me. Have no interest in multiple 3080s but one would be nice. At the current rate I estimate I have a 3080 when the 5000 series comes out ;)-

Hoping they update the queue system in time for 40 series cards or refreshed 30 series cards

The frustrating thing to me is the total lack of transparency.  Consumers are completely in the dark about both the input and output sides of the queue, EVGA won't (that I've seen) directly address even what proportion of production is dedicated to filling queue positions, won't identify when various lines are scheduled for production, doesn't address lines that don't appear to have moved basically since launch.  We can watch companies publicly try to leverage each other over media rights to various content, but can't get Nvidia/AMD or AIBs to leverage public opinion against retailers to insist on queues, lotteries, and other strategies to engage retailer support in fighting scalping?  Or to fight retailer scalping *cough* Newegg shuffle *cough*?

Also, if consumers would get out of the truck bed full of toilet paper or bags of gas mentality when it comes to GPUs that'd be nice too.  Plenty of folks are chasing GPUs just because of FOMO/scarcity mentality.

The problem in general is that you're in a queue for a card where millions of other people around the world are waiting with you as well. The odds of you getting selected from the queue are very very low due to the demand alone. 

Eventually, when the supply meets with the demand, you'll probably get a card sooner... but until then, it'll take a while. To improve your chances, get in a queue for multiple cards instead of just 1. 

I've heard people waiting for like 1 or 2 cards since November and not getting anything, yet people who've selected multiple cards getting an email within 4-6 months.
