EVGA let's goooo my pals need their cards

Yeah you guys get it.  The que system started on Oct 5th 2020.  Any real serious people signed up that day, then the days of product drop, along with a bunch of scalpers.  But the scalpers kept signing up fake accounts, thousands of them.  For months after.

Au Contraire.  I think I am a serious person.  I woke up early on the release date and tried my best to grab one.  After I realized what had happened, I signed up for the queue for a 10G-P5-3881-KL on 9/16/2020 at 7:43:33 PM PT.  Since then I have never seen even one board drop.  I did see constant activity (at least at the time) for  the , so I signed up for one on 12/10/2020 4:57:25 PM PT.  I would just like to get my hands on a 3080 period, without paying scalper pricing.
 
 
 

So many people cry out about scalpers, but how many of them have sold their used gpus at market value (which is a scalped price).
 
I've seen this so many times.
 
Selling a used card at current market prices is the same as scalping. These jabronis are blind.

Actually the change does not effect me personally.  I'm irate because I played by the rules and now the people who didn't will get the vast majority of cards (real hardcore scalpers), instead of the enthusiasts who have been engaged from the start.
 

 
This is just bull.
 
Enthusiasts that got cards...already got their cards.
 
Enthusiasts that didn't get cards will get cards sooner.
 
The people who already got cards from EVGA and are threatening to not buy again are interesting in that EVGA already delivered the goods to them yet they are still angry.
 
The system change allows EVGA to deliver cards to more people who would have never gotten anything from EVGA.
 
I would expect people to whom EVGA failed to deliver *anything* to be more angry.

Maybe a handful of people will.  Large number of early people will not get the card they actually want, while the scalpers will get most of them.  I can assure you it is a brick wall of entries at Feb '21.

Neither one of us knows the makeup of the queue, but whatever it is, the new system doesn't change it. 
 
It's not like scalpers can go back in time and insert more notifies. what's there is there.

Right.  But we do know when the queue started (10/5/21), when the Crypto rush started (Feb '21), and that it is the job of scalpers to astroturf any targets of opportunity.  You do the math.

I like how every person who already got a card from the queue, claims to have done it for some noble, self-sacrificing, reason.
 
Very tempted to start randomly flagging opposing opinions as spam as appears to have been done to this post, but resisting the urge...

Hilarious isn't it?  We all know the "real" reason most people are upset is because it directly is going to affect their pocketbook.  Or they already flipped their first "notify" card for a profit and are coming to the realization that they screwed themselves. In either case I don't care because it all works out in the end. They scalped someone for a profit with their first card and are now gonna have to pay the piper if they want a card for themselves. So now they get a taste of their own medicine. This is what they get for being a part of the problem in the first place if you ask me. No sympathy, none what so ever.

so narrow minded i see. Im in the queue for a hydrocopper, i didnt want an aircooled or hybrid card. while I was in line, the 3070 ti was about to release and a friend of mine mentioned about needing to upgrade his rig, i told him about the queue at evga but he didnt have an account, and he wouldnt have been able to become an elite member within the 3 hours of him mentioning it, so I offered to join the queue for him. His notify ended up coming up before mine because hydrocoppers just move so freakin slowly, I didnt charge him anything beyond the total price of the 3070 ti ftw3 with shipping and tax. No scalping here. I have seen how some have really abused the system by joining the queue for every single sku. I only joined those 2. And now I'll probably get skipped now that Im so close to getting my card. So screw off for assuming that everyone negatively affected by this is because of some scalping/money making scheme.

Good, I'm glad you're mad, I don't care. I'm not here to placate you or anyone else. While some of "may" have had genuine intentions to help others the vast majority did not and I simply don't care what you or anyone else thinks. People like that are also the reason the EAR program doesn't exist anymore (and the lifetime warranty before it) and they are also the reason if you opt for "Cross Ship RMA" EVGA requires that you put double the value of whatever card you're attempting to RMA as collateral because people were abusing that system too. 
 
This will help more people who have been waiting since last year to get a card that haven't got a chance period unlike those like yourself who have had multiple. 

Well that's a bummer, I was in the 3080 queue to get an upgrade for my brother and the 3090 queue for myself. Sorry dude, guess you don't get that 3080 if it comes up first, I'm not risking my 3090 spot.

Believe it or not some of us actually did, I was upset at first but i'm cool.  I Just ordered a damn 6900xt sapphire toxic but would have rather had a 3080 ti hybrid and not spend 2000 on a card.

I'm also in the queue for a 3080 XC3 Ultra, but I didn't sign up until Feb, 2021, because I had no idea there was a queue system on here until he mentioned it to me.. in Feb.  So I was fully expecting to be able to get a new card this week or next, via my co-workers account, but will now have to wait for my queue turn to come up... in a few months.
 

Sorry man, don't expect to be called unless crypto collapses and/or ETH POS actually happens.

Even for the KL's?  As you can see I'm new on here and haven't really been following all the drama until very recently. 

Yeah, 3080 XC3 Ultra 3885-KL is at 9/19/2020, 7:20:28 AM, so you have to get through all the "notify" signups, the 10/5/20 bubble, whatever else is in there and price ramping in Feb '21.  So like I said, not before the card goes out of production, unless GPU mining collapses in a big way.

What if they read the threads around here and decide that you can have two cards before going to the back of line.  Would that be fair?
 
I am so divided by this.  Personally it helps me bigtime, but I also fully understand others frustrations who got a temp card but now can't get their prime card.

I posted my opinion/suggestion in it's own thread - one card for everyone, starting now.

I'm sure this has been posted a dozen times before, so major apologies for asking what I am sure is a dumb question at this point, but why are some cards moving and others not?
 
Is it purely EVGA only making cards that make them more money? production issues with specific cards?  Just curious is all..  

Why is nobody reporting any notifications over here from the last two days?
