Queue solution here is a good one, but considering that EVGA cannot send more cards than the demand, why keeping this system? The queue is surely growing thousand time faster that the cards are sent, and the community want keep this system..
I will stay here and exchange with the community, but quite sure that I will buy something somewhere else before to receive any notification email.
Again, the queue system must be adjusted with the capacity to send cards, or 99.98% of the community here will be frustrated, it's already the case : no communication about your position in the queue, no evolution of the queue for few weeks or months, why EVGA allow the auto notification option if they cannot delivers the cards to everyone?
Quite strange

LOL.. you just joined EVGA 3 weeks ago, and clearly can see this as a way to jump the queue that others have been waiting in for over a year in some cases. Quite strange you say? Get the f outta here.
 
In particular this in unfair for people who were waiting for a 3080 or 3090 for a year, and while waiting were able to purchase a 3060 in the interim. They are now being punished for buying a lesser card while waiting in a queue for the card they wanted. I would be angry too. This rule change shouldn't be retroactive, or at the very least should only be hitting people in queues for a like-kind card (meaning already got a 3080 card and are in a queue for another 3080, or already got a 3090 and are in a queue for another 3090).
 
Of course it doesn't help those who were waiting to buy for their wife or kids living in the same household, but that's not something EVGA can ascertain.
 
edit: for anyone saying "but you have a 3090 already!" - yes, I was lucky, but I am not talking concerning myself, I am talking concerning other people who have been screwed by this change.

So I was able to get a 3060 xc gaming a month or so back.  And now that will retroactively cancel my "elite membership que" for a 3080ti?  

Correct.
 

jonny80s
I'm not cool with that.

Hold my beer: Scalpers with multiple Elite accounts will now have priority over you - even if those accounts only joined the queue today.
 
Only lesson I can see here that it pays to game the system and open multiple new accounts with different email addresses using friends / family members home addresses for each one, then spam the crap out of the forums to get elite status on each. Under the new rules, this will definitely get you a new GPU faster than the account you have been waiting maybe a year in queue for the same card. Brilliant.

EVGA is on fire with these missteps lately.  The dud 3090s.....   the "New Elite" spin the wheel and spam the forum garbage......  now the back of the line change when so many have been patiently waiting.....

They should have made this change with an effective date and those already in the queue stay with the place they have in line understanding that any NEW purchase from this date forward bust your spot for other cards..  

My fanboy defense of my favorite company can only extend so far.  Was there a major management change with EVGA lately?  Who is advising them of this stuff?  They need to establish a "council of elders" to bounce things off of before they do crap like this. 

This very thread was to gauge support of possible queue rule changes.. and the overwhelming majority opinion was promptly ignored, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

why not just make the change with that date as the effective date.... kind of like how they rolled out the LHR cards.    You had an option to stay on the non-LHR or update to the new queue.  
 
Make it so, starting today, when you purchase any 30 series card you have to click a box saying you understand it will bump you to tier 2 priority for all future 30 series queues....  they should not be going backwards in time moving the goal post on people so close to the finish line.

Agreed. Many people are requesting not making it retroactive, or as a compromise, putting the restriction on like-model cards only (if you own a 3080 card already, you get lower priority for any additional 3080 models, but are good for 3090, 3070, 3060 etc.), but there's nothing but crickets from EVGA. It seems they have decided that this is how it will be, and if you don't like it, you can go fornicate yourself. I'm sure the scalpers don't mind at all, but regular customers.. tough, go buy from ASUS or somewhere else.
 
This is also teaching regular customers in future to not buy ANY gpu from EVGA until the Ti or Super variants come out, otherwise you will be stuck with what you got and have zero chance to upgrade. It's really really lacking in forethought.

Can somebody quote what's going on? What changed?

In an effort to expedite those in queue who are still waiting for a EVGA GeForce RTX 30 Series Card, and to be fair to all EVGA customers, we are making a running change:

1. Accounts that have NOT purchased an EVGA 30 series card yet as part of the queue will be prioritized.
2. Accounts that have already purchased an EVGA 30 series card in the queue system, will be behind those who have not.

Note: B-Stock (RX) or Step-Up 30 Series products will not affect queue positions.
 
We hope that this update will allow more gamers to get their hands on an EVGA GeForce RTX 30 series card. If there are any questions please contact our support at sales@evga.com.
Thanks
EVGA

Where did you get that from?

This is a weird move but I already got the most out of the previous queue system. I already hooked up three friends that direly want a 3080Ti and all of them are enjoying them as we speak.

I'm just wondering how this will speed up the process of getting those K|NGP|N cards. I really want a K|NGP|N hydrocopper and X570 Dark as part of my next build.

If you have already purchased ANY type of 3000 series GPU on your account, then your chances of getting a 3090 KingPin card are now absolutely ZERO - unless of course you can score one through EBay, but expect to pay $5k+, possibly have no warranty, and maybe get scammed in the process.

Well that is completely opposite of what the pole results are showing. I always wondered how damn dumb is EVGA? Now I know.

Scalpers don't want the 3080Ti or the 3090s, they want the evga's 3080s, 3070, and 3060s. Those series give a higher profit in resales, compared to the Tis and 90s. Scalpers also ruined Advanced RMA..

This isn't true. In my search for finding a reasonably priced card, seeing 3080 TI's going for closer to 2k and 3090's going for 3k. The scalper/bot discords are insane and should prompt industry change.
 
A big thank you to EVGA for making sensible changes. I understand those with existing card purchases may be upset, but frankly it's a rationing situation.

evga1081
Just as there are 510+ Silvia accounts? I get that you're upset about the change, but there is no rational reason to attack me for supporting what is frankly a "just" decision by a corporate entity to provide fair opportunity to its consumers.
 
Edit: Considering your account was made today... lol
