So is EVGA score based solely on registered products, or is it also influenced by other factors like forum activity?

Quick question, what does "VGA notifications are limited to 1 per GPU chipset" exactly mean?
I can only have one 3080 12GB in the notifications I guess (the FTW or the XC3 Ultra)?

• I was able to purchase a card under queue 2.0 so my notifies shows "Notify Sent: Yes | Active: True". I was assuming since I'd purchased the card this would now show false? Since I have another active notify would this impact Queue 3.0? My understanding currently is no, but would like to confirm. (I plan to remove the other active notify now that the option is available, but seeking clarity).
• While I am sitting out the next round of 30 series cards I am still curious of two things:
  • Will there be a reference to show how our score compares to the possible scores? (i.e. how bad or good is my score)
  • I previously had a 30 series card registered, but when I upgraded to a higher tier card this went to a family member and I deregistered that card. It was purchased from Microcenter so it's no longer showing in my account. How is this accounted for in my score since it's no longer showing?

Sorry, still haven't had my caffeine yet.  If I have one Queue 2.0 active notification (say the 3090 KPE HC, for example) active, does that take up one of the two Queue 3.0 slots that is expressed the summary bullet point: 
 
Another way of asking the question is "do the Queue 2.0 active registrations affect whether you can sign up for 2, 1 or 0 Queue 3.0 SKUs?

from my understanding, you can have one of 3080 series, one of 3090 series, and so on, so cant have 3080 xc3 and ftw3 from notify

If you previously signed up for a 3080 XC3 and a 3080 FTW3 previously under Queue 2.0, you may purchase both.  If you sign up for new notifications at this point, you may only sign up for one part number per chipset, because that would be considered a Queue 3.0 notify.

Okay great, thanks for the reply. So having an "old" 3080 10GB together with a 3080 12GB is no problem since they have different chipsets, right?

so if you followed the previous rules and got a card, now it's "back of the line" for everything going forward? can anyone quantify deprioritization? do you get dumped to the bottom of the list from being a prior patron? or just knocked down a few pegs? do registered products offset your deprioritization? it all seems a bit vague on that point.
 
do registered products require invoice upload/approval to count for points? or just register? if the later I foresee some folks just grabbing random serials online to register phantom products that they don't really own.

So one model of the 3090Ti chipset, one model of the 3050 chipset.  Makes sense and is a reasonable approach.  Thanks for the clarifications (and the original rule summary which I found surprisingly clear).

That's a fair first reaction to reading this.  However, keep in mind that this still follows tier-by-tier priority.  If you are in a high tier of points, chances are, a lot of the people also in the queue with you also bought 30 Series cards and are in the same boat as you.  For the ones that have not purchased a 30 Series card, sure, they will get a quicker path to getting a card.  Eventually, everyone else in the queue in your tier will purchase a 30 Series product, and you will no longer be deprioritized and will now be ahead of people in lower tiers. 


Registered products improve your score, but do not change the deprioritization.  Registered products must have an invoice uploaded to count, unless the product was purchased from EVGA.com.

• 60% of 3080's will go to people in the Top Tier, prioritizing non-RTX 30-owners first.

• 30% of 3080's will go to people in the Mid Tier, non-owners first.
• 10% of 3080's will go to people in the Bottom Tier, non-owners first.

• The Top tier has 100 people. Each drop they get 10 cards (10% of tier fulfilled per drop)
• The Middle tier has 1000 people. Each drop they get 50 cards (5% of tier fulfilled per drop)
• The Bottom tier has 10k people. Each drop they get 100 cards (1% of tier fulfilled per drop)

I got the error that I can only have 2 products in the queue. That was supposed to be fixed but now the queues are closed. What a mess.
