You should delete this part as NVIDIA will not allow their AIBs to sell/queue for a product prior to the release date and time as set by NVIDIA.

so i just removed my auto notify for based on the queue summary and notes that the ULTRA models are the ones we should be going for, but now i can't add another GPU SKU to my list. am i doing something wrong here? did i just cut my chances in half?

Maybe also one? New account requires phone number and sms verification. If the scalper using the same phone number, wouldn't it be easily identified by EVGA? But I guess there are free online SMS services with disposable virtual numbers available?
And you're right, first time purchasers may not even know the community tracking thing.

I should clarify. You don’t need a new EVGA account for each queue registration, just an email address. Once your name comes up in the queue, you then need to associate that email address with an (likely new) EVGA account. Spamming email addresses for the auto-notify button is — I am guessing — pretty cheap. Creating an EVGA account once the queue spot comes up…toughest part is probably finding new physical addresses to which to send the product or the payment method….

I am sure I am missing some nuances here, but to only require an email address to get a queue spot…it is primed for bad actor exploitation.

I am pleased to see a revision in the policy as I'm quite close to the elusive 3080 HC. I've pared my notify list down to two and will continue the wait.
 
I think two cards is a good compromise and was glad to hear that there is some level of sleuthing going on related to bad actors.

same, i still wonder if this will impact ability to purchase the 3090 super KPE...

I honestly don’t think EVGA has figured out how to deal with new SKU introductions under this revised, revised policy. I would expect them to announce a further revision if/when new models release. Perhaps a brief window to swap out registrations (i.e., hold three registrations for about a week before having to reduce down to two).

true, or just make people choose if they hold 2, drop 1 before registering for another.

A lot of people have not purchased a 3000 series card and nvidia plans (if it's true) to release another SKU? Really smart...

I think -- given the F5 time pressures of a gpu launch day -- EVGA would have to remove the cap of two registrations before locking it down again a few days later. Otherwise, really tough to meet the competing interests of early registration plus not throwing away one of your existing registrations.

Welcome (again) to NVIDIA's Tech Launch Debacle 2020-202X™.

I think what KINGPIN_fan and enewt was referring to was that if/when the "super" cards are announced by nvidia, EVGA may have to change the policy at that time to account for the new SKUs and allow customers to choose which card to drop in favor of the new super SKUs and not right now.

Hi guys sorry for the dumb question but under my notifies on my account I see this 10G-P5-3897-KL 12/10/2020 7:38:11 PM PT No
 
does it mean I am still in the que and just waiting? sorry for the simple question I kind of forgot about clicking the join waitlist almost a year ago and just wondering if its even still working or if I need to requeue

EVGA
Hello,
You are receiving this email because your account shows that it has three or more cards in the notify queue.
As we continue to monitor the queue to get cards to gamers sooner, we appreciate all the feedback to help us to improve the queue system.
Due to the overwhelming demand for the 30 Series Products, our first step was to close the notify queue until we can fulfill them. Management team then took an extra step to prioritize those that have not received a card versus others who have been able to get multiple GPU’s.
After reading the feedback, there were legitimate concerns about retroactively changing the queue function. We are sorry for any frustration this caused, this was not the company’s intention. Today we are going to make the following updates:

1. The queue system will be rolled back to the previous rule.
   1. Anyone who missed a card from Monday, October 4th, will be notified on the next release.
   2. EVGA will continue to send notifies through October 8th.
2. In order to get cards to gamers sooner, please go to the notify page here and keep selected your top two cards that you would like to purchase and remove the others.
   1. On October 11th, 2021 the system will only lookup and send notifies based on your two oldest entries.
   2. Going forward the queue system will only allow for two 30 series notifies on the current lineup.
   3. EVGA strongly suggests to keep the FTW3 ULTRA or XC3 ULTRA models due to consistent supply compared to limited supply on K|NGP|N, HYDRO COPPER and HYBRID due to supply constraints.
   4. EVGA is also going to be adding SMS verification to the checkout process for all notifications to catch bot orders.
3. The queue system will not be turned back on until the current queues are fulfilled.
4. The checkout window is 20 hours from the time of notification released.

EVGA appreciates your feedback to continue improving the queue system to deliver 30 Series cards into as many gamers hands as possible.
Thanks,
EVGA
