Basically the title, this is my first evga product so my account is new, I'm wondering if it took my score when I first entered the queue or if it bumps me up as my score goes up now? So if I participate in the forums will my place in the queue go up or am I stuck where I was when I signed up

So if I don't receive a card in the next couple days, my tier should go up so long as I'm participating in the forums?

Participating in the forums doesn't really have any effect outside of earning blue ribbons for very helpful posts. And so far it does not seem as though blue ribbons are weighted heavily into the EVGA score. The best way to get your score higher is to sign up to be an associate and get others to use your code when they make purchases. This not only gets your score to go higher, but earns you EVGA bucks to use on the EVGA.com store. Neither of these things are super easy to do,. but are certainly possible. The other things the effects your score is having previously registered EVGA products, but they would have to be recent purchases and higher value items. And EVGA has already taken a snapshot for the month of January to determine scores so if you hadn't previously registered products it wouldn't effect you until February.

EVGA Queue 3.0 uses many different factors to establish the queue order. This promotes several goals and requests from the EVGA Community, including: Giving greater priority to loyal customers, making more cards available to customers that are hoping to upgrade, yet without closing off the possibility for new customers to obtain a new card.
The order is made up of the following factors:
EVGA Score and Score Tiers – This score signifies the value of your registered EVGA products, EVGA Bucks earned, and Blue Ribbons from participating on the forums.
–

• EVGA Score can be seen on the My EVGA page.
• Customers will be sorted into multiple tiers, based on EVGA Score.
• EVGA Scores are updated on the first of every month, which may move some members up or down a tier.
• Time/Date of your notification – Date of your notification is used as a tie-breaker between customers with the same EVGA Score.30 Series purchase status – Customers who have purchased a 30 Series product from EVGA.com will be deprioritized in the VGA queue, and will become eligible to purchase their VGA notify product(s) after others in their tier purchase a 30 Series product.*
  –
  • Non-VGA notification queues are not affected by this requirement.
  EVGA ELITE Status – Some products will be available only to EVGA ELITE members.
  –
  • Becoming an EVGA ELITE Member will give you access to sign up for a notification for the first 24 hours after a product is released, subject to EVGA’s discretion
