I knew it would be bad; but EVGA should have been better prepared...they knew what was coming...they saw the Elite membership spike better than anybody….  For what it is worth, JacobF tweeted:

How many cards do they have?  100?

I would say they have far more than 100 cards.

I think this card has been in the works for a few months now and EVGA would have learned from the last launch they did that supply and demand were the focal points of those launches. Even with my number being in the 07:22 range I think it'll be a couple of weeks at most.

So here is the status update for the North American queues as of this morning (before any of today's drops). I do expect 3080 Tis to drop to the front of the new queues today (please report back your registration timestamps when you get your "invite to purchase" email -- that will help us track the front of the queue).
 
It sounds from some posts like the front might be at 7:20 am PT and not 6 am PT...see, we are already making progress...that's how that works, right?!?  
 
Hopefully everybody is busy icing down their F5 fingers...your units performed admirably under extremely trying circumstances (or as one EVGA employee described it, "extremely high traffic" circumstances). Be gentle with them...some may choose to go once more into the breach on June 10 for the 3070 Ti.  
 
Again, for those lucky enough to be a the front of the line, please report back when you get your "invite to purchase" email...and for the report to be most helpful, please couple the SKU number with your original timestamp (found here: https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp) in your post back to our community.
 
Best of luck! 
 
As of 5:30 am PT Thursday, June 3, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from the morning of June 2; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement from the prior report):

May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
 
Best of luck!

Thanks for the information and for sharing

Too be fair, thought I queued for the XC3 Hydro Copper but the photos are mixed up on the XC3 Hybrid, but I did get in as soon as I could so there's that. There isn't even an XC3 HC listing.

Who is doing the EU waiting List?
 
THanks

BovineGamer has been tracking the queues on the EU side.  Check the first post of this thread...I have a link to his document there (and the my signature block of each of my posts).  Best of luck!

It was so bad, I could not login to access the forums lol; and I did not want to purchase the 3080ti at all.  I only got in now....

What a bonkers morning...absolutely bonkers.

Bonkers is an understatement

Up early, signed in and primed before the launch.  Was unable to even load the notification window until over two hours after the launch

Also for your spreadsheet keeping

The forums were down for a long time.  I guess it was to be expected.  You have all the elite, all the other shoppers who didn't realize it was elite only, as well as those millions, who, because it is release day, are hitting every retailer including EVGA to see if there is a chance to purchase a card.  Throw in the bots who are trying to get in, doing the same thing at every retailer, but a heck of a lot faster, and you have the entire site being hit.
 
BTW:  Good afternoon enewt and mech9t5.  I hope the rest of the day is better.

 
I am not looking forward to the chaos of June 10th....  What does EVGA do?  Do they further shore up their servers (at additional cost) or, realizing that this is likely the last big launch day of the 2020-2021 NVIDIA Tech Launch Debacle Tour™ (© NVIDIA Corp 2020-2023), do they simply grin and bear it as they won't need the extra resources in the days, weeks and months after June 10/11?  I am guessing the latter....
 
@Flint 1760, good afternoon to you. Hopefully your F5 finger hasn't had to seek out a therapist after this mornings activities....

Do they further shore up their servers (at additional cost) 

If they were on Azure they could use the Scalability Features for Web Services and only spin up additional resources as required then have it scale down after the surge is over.

Any news on being able to request the XC3 or the Launch Edition? Both do not have the "Auto Notify" button.

Those were available up until like 7:30 am.

K2 was gone when i signed up around 26-27

I logged in before they enabled 3080ti que. Ten minutes before the system kicked me out, than the server crashed so I couldn't log back in. During the period to follow it loaded login page, took 5 minutes to login, to be presented with that lovely cookies message. Completely uninstalled browser, reinstalled, cleared all cookies, another half hour to login, to be presented with the cookies message. Needless to say it took me 4hrs 30 minutes to get into que and I was on evga website 30 minutes before que started. Seems a bit unfair I'm at the 4hr and 30 minute mark when I was on 30 minutes before launch.

Real gamer here left out in the cold, bots and scalpers winners, but it doesn't matter to evga, all their gpus will sell regardless who buys them.
