The new queue system itself is fine, just need polishing, but it is the website capacity is the issue. 
 
Most of the people can't even get in queue due to the high traffic, by the time you get in, the the queue already over.

Can anyone help with clarifying if 'Score Period：2019/1/1 00:00:00 ～ 2022/1/11 23:59:59 (PST)' is going to stay the same for a while or it will be rolling 3 years back changed every month or so?

1. So if I just want to get 3050 through the queue 3.0 I need to refresh eu.evga on 27th of January and hope to click notify fast enough? Is there anything else I will need to do?
2. Will 3050 be available for EU on 27th?

1. Are you an "Elite" member?  The 27th may be limited to that category of folks.  
2. Only EVGA knows for sure, but I would assume the answer is "yes" (at least as it pertains to registration...not willing to speculate about actual units on that day).

I don't think that was the issue on Tuesday (but certainly has been in the past).  On Tuesday, the window was opened and shut before a lot of folks even knew about it. I woke up (PT) and it was already over.

My score is 60 - I’ve been buying GPU’s and motherboards from EVGA since 2008

My score is 0... guess I will never get an EVGA video card.

Hey Im not far behind you mine is 6.....I see some with 70+ now come on this must be a miner how the heck
did you get a 70+ that's a bunch of bull....this system is wanky

Read the OP of how points are calculated. It is based on registered purchases (last 3 years), EVGA Bucks, and blue ribbons. From what I can tell, 1 EVGA Buck = 2 queue points, 1 blue ribbon = 3 queue points(?), and not sure how registered purchases are calculated, it seems to be relatively low compared to the other factors. It would seem EVGA Bucks are really pushing some scores up. That would also mean bots who have managed to buy a lot of items (and register them) but not contributed anything to the community are not getting much of an advantage, if any - and rightly so! Those who have either contributed a lot over the years on the forums and have lots of blue ribbons are getting some reward for their behavior, and EVGA Bucks is the other big driver.. although the associate program is pretty generous on its own imo. Also note that EVGA may well tweak how these points are calculated, it's not written in stone.

FWIW - if you've been following this and the other thread, there's a gentleman who has 0 score but he was able to sign into the 3080 12GB queue within the ~90-min window and got notified later to buy it.

The only thing I can add to this, and not being argumentative: EVGA Bucks is reliant on others using your code. So, even if you've helped someone there's still a chance you won't get credit for it. Never been a huge deal before, and not being a jerk about it or anything either. Just a slight stigma on how you earn those. Like I said, not a huge deal but dependent on the community to help each other. I'm not sure how you earn ribbons, if that's from the community or a Moderator/Administrator.
 
I've been a long time lurker, been an EVGA customer for many years (First cards were a pair 7950GX2's). I don't feel like I've ever been treated unfairly by EVGA, and they've taken care of me on a few RMA's. That's why I'm a customer. They've always treated my right, always been helpful, respectful, and I've never been treated unfairly in any way.
 
Those complaining about the que's: There is no solution that will ever satisfy 100% of the community. There are always flaws and someone will always feel wronged. They said it is a fluid system, and subject to changes. Just ride it out, don't be rude. They're trying to make the best out of a bad situation, and that's more than some other companies are doing right now. There are always other avenues to get a card, like the newegg shuffle...

So does this mean i'll be able to get into the queue at all now for regular 3070 and 3070TI cards? Or is the newly opened queue just for the 12gb 3080 in a small time window? I never knew the queue existed until it was too late. At least with the Newegg shuffle I at least have a feeling I could be the one and get lucky. With this EVGA thing I can't even notify myself that a queue is going to be opened. Do I just have to keep the tab permanently open as my home page now for whenever I open a new tab or something?
 
Additionally, about the EVGA score thing, why is it only limited to a 2 year window? I've been a loyal EVGA customer. I have a 9800 in my registered items list! I remember having the 560gtx and 980 gtx sc and am still currently on my 1080ti. Yet none of that counts (though only my 1080ti and 9800 were registered, lazy me). Kinda blows me away a little. Very few people upgrade every new generation unless they're going from low/mid-range to the next low/mid range. I had/have a 1080TI and the gains from the 20 series weren't enough for me to drop another $700. So I waited. Then when the new series comes out and with the shortages I think it is a normal COVID supply chain thing, not realizing the deeper issues with crypto miners and scalpers. So I wait for it to blow over. It never does and I don't actively look into the queue systems and such. And so now I have an EVGA score of 0? Weak sauce EVGA.
 
Don't be afraid of queues. Open the queue up everyone and simply prioritize that queue like 3.0 says it will but more aggressive. Look at registration dates and prioritize people with 10/16/20 series cards registered but no 30 series. It makes me legit sad that my only real hope of getting a card is for the Intel Arc Alchemist cards to be competitive like they claim and get lucky there too.

It's 3 years. May not help people like you and me who have been around for years (I have over 50 registered products going back to early 2009, about 20 of which are since January 2019), but it is what it is.

I wonder if I'm thinking of the same person that you are. If so, they claim to have also bought a 30-series from the past queues as well. I take all such claims with a huge grain of salt though, because I don't know anyone from Adam on these forums.

Will not help anyone who is unable to enter a short duration queue.

Never has. We all know that stock is very limited. There is no program that could change that. I don't think having people sitting in queues for over a year is a better option really, which is the only alternative to limiting the open period for notification queues. Also it helps stop that queue being loaded up with endless scalper accounts, and I am 100% for nailing those asshats to the wall.

If your goal is to promote the supposed objectives and principles of Queue 3.0, a 24-hour queue is massively superior to a 90-minute queue. EVGA said they would do a 24-hour queue, but they didn't. And then when I contacted them to complain, they didn't apologize and instead stated that they plan to do more short-duration queues for more bots in the future once they diminish the list of bots they are currently serving. Of course I don't mean actual bots, I mean humans using similar tools. The humans EVGA claimed to be trying to exclude.
