I am a huge fan of the Civilization series. Soren Johnson gave a talk at GDC a few weeks ago about some major mistakes in his design of Civ III. For a game design talk, it was very insightful and quite thought provoking. I really appreciated his honest assessment of his past work. Hopefully the recording of the talk will become available to the masses at some point, for the moment, it is locked behind the GDC digital paywall; here is a mainstream article (that doesn't do the talk justice) if folks are curious. 
 
Today we had drops to the 3060 Ti XC Gaming (3663-KL), 3050 XC Gaming (3553) and 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid (3898-KL). 
 
With respect to "in stock" news, the 3060 XC Gaming (3657), 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra HC (3969), 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hybrid (3958), 3080 XC3 Ultra (12 Gb) (4865) and 3080 FTW3 Ultra (12 Gb) (4877-KL) came back “in stock” today. The 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra (3797-BH) and 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra (3797-KL) are now "out of stock."
 
It is the weekend (and, in Los Angeles, HOT!). My recommendation is to find a fresh breeze, locate your Vitamin D, and be present with your friends and family! 
 
Have a great weekend!

* In the absence of information from EVGA about the respective tiers (EVGA score cohorts), the EVGA Queue Summary will report the latest timestamp report received (I'll assume that it comes from a registrant with a superlative EVGA Score (i.e., the highest tier) who has no prior history of buying a 30 series card from the EVGA Queue); Queue 3.0 rows in the summary will not include an "elapsed time" italicized parenthetical. 
 
May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
 
Best of luck!   twene

Simply amazing movement this week in some 2.0 queues.  Even with people dropping out of those queues, EVGA must have had some major shipments.  

 
I think the shipments were about the same volumes as before, but a lot of the queues were hitting the portion of the timeline that was so distant from where the heads of the queue that folks elected to drop these SKUs in favor of others during the Great Queue Culling of October 2021 (soon to be an Netflix Limited Series starring Pete Davidson as EVGA_JacobF). It really feels like the queues are in their final throes...other than the KPEs....
 
Have a great weekend.

My date is coming up on the 3755 and 3667. I would prefer the 3667, so if I get notified for the 3755 first should I just decline it?

That’s a tough one to answer. There is no guarantee that each queue will get to everybody in its list. It is worth noting that buying the 3755 does not preclude you from buying the 3667 from the queue when your name comes up (from the queues, you can buy up to one unit per model). You could always look to sell the 3775 once the 3667 queue reaches you.

Best of luck!

After a weekend of sun and soccer (a win, a tie and a loss, to round out the trifecta), I am a bit slow getting it all together this morning.
 
In other news, yesterday at breakfast, I was purposefully walking out of the kitchen to head down the hall to get ready for the day when our cat darted between my legs. To say I inadvertently punted her across the room would be an accurate description. She didn't leave the ground, but rather silently slid across the floor like a rock in a curling competition...she didn't make a peep. Fast forward to late last night, she jumped on my lap in the middle of my Rocket League gaming and proceeded to shed all over me. Oh and repeatedly dig her claws into my legs at the most inopportune moments. The result was that I missed a sitter and gave up some bad goals; Fair play, little miss feline...revenge is a dish best served cold.
 
It is Monday...hopefully EVGA shows up with some decent drops.     
 
Best of luck today!

* In the absence of information from EVGA about the respective tiers (EVGA score cohorts), the EVGA Queue Summary will report the latest timestamp report received (I'll assume that it comes from a registrant with a superlative EVGA Score (i.e., the highest tier) who has no prior history of buying a 30 series card from the EVGA Queue); Queue 3.0 rows in the summary will not include an "elapsed time" italicized parenthetical. 
 
May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
 
Best of luck!   twene

After a weekend of sun and soccer (a win, a tie and a loss, to round out the trifecta), I am a bit slow getting it all together this morning.
 
In other news, yesterday at breakfast, I was purposefully walking out of the kitchen to head down the hall to get ready for the day when our cat darted between my legs. To say I inadvertently punted her across the room would be an accurate description. She didn't leave the ground, but rather silently slid across the floor like a rock in a curling competition...she didn't make a peep. Fast forward to late last night, she jumped on my lap in the middle of my Rocket League gaming and proceeded to shed all over me. Oh and repeatedly dig her claws into my legs at the most inopportune moments. The result was that I missed a sitter and gave up some bad goals; Fair play, little miss feline...revenge is a dish best served cold.
 
It is Monday...hopefully EVGA shows up with some decent drops.     
 
Best of luck today!

I would simply call that feline affection. I do some (harsh) scolding to my cats, mainly when they climb on top of the kitchen counter or toying with (and spilling) their water. Nevertheless, they always soon come back on my lap for some purring and petting sessions. Not that I have anything against it.

3060 Ti XC Gaming                  3663-KL         09/24/2021 06:41:07     (668:08:52)

 
Should we just call this queue "completed", given how close it is to 9/27?

I agree. I felt very bad for the punt...totally unintentional. And, yes, it was feline affection...but perfectly timed to distract from the game.
 
Regarding the 3663, I'd like to see it show up "in stock" before I call it completed...I'd hate to call it completed and confuse some folks who might be signed up in the 9/26 or 9/27 window.  But, yes, we should be able to flip it over to the "in stock" category in the near future (here's hoping, anyway).

When was the last time 3551 moved? Seems like it's been quite a while.

As of 11:20 am PT Monday, the 3657 (3060 XC Gaming), 3797-KL (3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra), 4981 (3090 Ti FTW3 Black) and 4983 (3090 Ti FTW3 Gaming) have come back in stock and do not require a further wait in a queue; you can also check on the current status of the stock of the 30 series here: 30 Series on EVGA.com.

I received a notify for 08G-P5-3755-KL at 1:54PM today. My notify was entered "4/7/2021 4:11:48 PM PT". Fortunately (and unfortunately), I already purchased one of the in-stock cards a few weeks back, but I'm glad to see my second ever notify come through. 3060 took 4 months to show up; 3070 took slightly longer than a full year. What a story to tell in the future!

Thanks for reporting back. Yes, crazy times. Hopefully we are nearing the end of this bizarre tale of supply constraints, hoarders and consumers stuck in the middle.

I missed my notify for the 3755 . I have been watching the updates and my date is still 3 weeks out. Oh well, I'm still waiting for the 3667. Hopefully soon

If you missed a notify, you can reply to the email, and they will likely reply back and try to get a 3755 to you.  Or, if you tell me when you signed up for the 3667, I can try to predict when you will get it using a linear estimate.
 
Also, what's your signup date for your 3755 according to the MyNotifies page?

tiresmoke
My signup date is 03/21/21 on both cards

I am not sure I am following...if you received an invite to purchase email for the 3755 but didn't respond during the purchase window AND yet you still want to buy the 3755, reply to the "invite to purchase" email you received and in your reply indicate your desire to purchase the card. EVGA may get you sorted with a new invite to purchase email containing a fresh purchase link for the 3755.  However, if you are waiting on the 3667, you still have a few weeks of timeline (potentially months of waiting) yet to go.
 
Best of luck!
