its kind of silly how you can't even complete a purchase because the site can't handle this much traffic.
 
what a waste of my time buying a card.

Well,
 
newegg has the regular ones in stock. Got one of those and will try to do the step up program to a hybrid in a couple weeks. At least I wont be dead in the water for now.

Are you able to step up like that or are you just hoping? I thought it was only going up series
 

Once your web page starts loading slowly, that means you're too late already, just close it and walk away, 'cause by that point, the first 3 people who entered the site already bought out the stock that's available.
 
I know I'm not the only one doing this, but I have the pages auto-refreshing constantly, I have no idea how I didn't get in though considering...should've seen the availability before all emails went out, but I never saw it...even up until the point of it loading slowly into not loading at all...very strange.

I know that the new 980 ti cards are hot, but this auto-notify system just doesn't work. I was finally able to get the 980 Ti hybrid into my shopping cart and was about to pay when the whole system just went down. I lost my cart item and now I'm sure I will have to "Auto-Notify" again. Why doesnt EVGA institute some type of queue so that customers can get in line, so to speak and have an item reserved for them?
 
Or have the item reserved and when it comes in they can just ship it out to paying customers?
 
Either way they need to fix this horrible system.

That's what I said, I understand supply and demand, but for that reason alone, there should be a 1 per household limit at the start of all of this just to be fair to everyone instead of just collecting $$$. On top of that, by the time you make it to the final form for ordering, the stock should be locked to you for at least a frickin' minute while you review and hit submit. Dat feel of thinking you got one, only to hit place order, then get rejected with not in stock? I'd rather be kicked in the balls.

yea i agree with the 1 per customer and the time limit you have when you placed it into your cart. as lame as this may sound i added a 960 in cart and made a couple of mock runs to get it down path so i can be fast as possible lol.

Exactly. And it's even more maddening thinking that some yahoo is buying them up just to resale on Amazon for double the price .

hey now don't hate on capitalism. hate on EVGA for not enforcing a limit like someone else said  1 per address/credit card. it would reduce the number of cards flippers are getting their hands on

missed the hydro notification, was able to get two reference into my cart and now it's crashed while I tried to pay. Lame

Hi All,
 
I apologize if any of you had issues with your orders today.  We are aware of the issue and working on it.  Please feel free to email me directly with any further issues so I can make sure we are looking into them.
 
Thank You,
Rob

not sure. the only thing i know is the hybrid on newegg was 769.99 i do believe. but evga did have the reference cooler 980 ti in stock for 10 minutes which is by far the longest of any card that i have seen on there site. so maybe there gonna be able to stock a good amount now.
