IIRC someone did mention something about "production ramping up" or something to that effect. It could mean that supply will slowly start to increase as the weeks go by.
 
They wouldn't make a forward-looking statement like that unless they heard something that they're not telling us.

Meh, "production ramping up every week" has been the statement since literally launch...and we don't see much of anything ramping up still 5 weeks later. Occasionally a decent size drop. But mostly the same small drops that moves the queue 10 minutes a day...

I got bored a few days ago and was looking at the totally unofficial Google spreadsheet and decided to break the notification sign ups down by day.
 
Ya, I was really that bored.
 
At the time, if I recall correctly, something like ~40% of the 1000+ FTW 3 Ultra 3080's that people had clicked the notify button for happened 9/16-9/17. Of that number ~75% of the 9/16-9/17 notifies happened prior to noon PST on 9/17.
 
So .. next time you start to wonder why it's taking so long to get to your spot that's why. It's also worth noting that there's no way to know exactly how many people actually clicked notify. Maybe the spreadsheet is only capturing 10% of the sign ups. Maybe it's 100% .. no one knows and it's not useful for that degree of precision.
 
It is, otoh, good for gauging general progress down the list and giving you a general idea where you may fall on it.

Are there two Google spreadsheets floating around? The one I found on Reddit has the links to the individual card signup sheets at the bottom. In one of the Twitch channels, a guy linked to another spreadsheet that had hyperlinks at the top of the document to the individual card signup sheets.

When on view-only access, links are at top. When in editable access, 'links' are tabs down the bottom. Same spreadsheet.
 

Ah, thanks.
 
 

EVGA is my top company for a decades. High quality products, exceptional customer support, best (known to me) marketing communication and transparency are hard to find in one place.
That's why I personally owned 9 their video cards, and built in about 45 in friends and relatives rigs I built/upgraded in last 15 years.
 
Unfortunately Nvidia becomes a joke and junky multibillion company.
They should fired CEO, his management team who are responsible for this unseen launch fiasco.
It is unknown on how many levels they failed to supply production lines in order to rake a fortune by producing cards close to demands.
They should keep their mouth closed until they have enough card for less than 2-3 month (if so) waiting buffer.
 
Was leaning to buy a wanted EVGA (to play in 4K on 65 OLED) card on ebay, now will wait to see what Radeon has to offer.
Doing this after being a Nvidia fanboy for almost 20 years is nothing I am proud off but unlimited waiting is not my strong line.
 

Got the email from my Canadian retailer that my FTW 3 Ultra is shipped to me !!! AT LAST, so excited !!!!

Actually there are 2.

The one above isn't populated nearly as well as the one you've been adding people to @Nereus but does have a bit of analysis that the other lacks.

This is the one you've been adding people to and it's got 2x the total entries.
 

Interesting, while they are different, they are similar in a lot of ways too.  For example, they both showed about a movement of about 30 people in the queue for the 3080 ultras on 10/20.
 
Oof, even if they manage to double that number, we're not going to be even close to out of 8:00 AM next week.
 
EDIT: to make clear that they are 'about' the same, not exactly

gotta remember that majority of people would have signed up on the 17th so it should definitely move a lot faster as they get to the next day 

Ouch, that's unfortunate timing! Though honestly it seems like a very large number of people have done the same and that's contributed to the problem! Safe bet that when those Radeon 6800-whatever cards launch it will siphon off at least a few buyers away from 3080's to help.

The crazy thing is, if that is true, that is money on the table nvidia loses.  Man, it would hurt to think that you lost market share just because you couldn't produce enough product.  I would be pissed as a stockholder.

Well I have been waiting and F5ing for 4 weeks and i'm so far down the list at evga as I have bought quite a few products from them 970x2 980x2 1080x2 1080ti and a 2080ti. 
 
Guess i'm going to the dark side as I bought a pre built i9 10900k 16gb memory rtx 3080 1tb ssd.  Dont know what brand but looking at the reviews msi.  I hope it does as evga or msi was my 1st choices. 
 
I was planning to build a new system so I can switch parts around

Supply should vastly increase as production ramps up. It seems that Nvidia launched as soon as product was ready to go, so supplies at launch were definitely not huge. As some other people mentioned, they probably shipped all initial product by air, which is very expensive, so as soon as they can stop doing that, it'll only be coming by sea. Again, ships are slow, loading, unloading, etc. but the volume should be substantially greater at that point. We are probably at that point where we will see much larger shipments hitting retailers now though.

Yes, thank you for reminding them.

Lol Nereus...   I couldn't wait till next year.  
  I was going to use your codes when my time came to buy a card but 2021 would of been my time so I bought a complete system instead (as long as it don't get canceled).  Maybe next time 
Appreciate the time you put into the notify list tho.  
 
 

Hopefully I can get my 30 series card before the 40 series cards come out

I honestly wish they would not send cards to retailers to just be snatched up by bots etc and just sell them to the people on the waiting lists. Those are guaranteed sales for the most part so they will lose nothing and we can get the lists knocked out ASAP and then they can send cards to the retailers etc once they get the lists under control. Its insane that things are moving by the minute..i was expecting hours but not freaking minutes. More needs to be done to get to that point

Logistical decisions are big ships and changing course midstream isn't always a viable option. I'd be flabbergasted if EVGA didn't still have outstanding commitments to retail partners that were lined up well before they knew they'd be definitely following through on this waiting list idea. Cutting your own webstore a bigger slice and avoiding some middleman fees is a great gig if you can get it but longterm there's always value in selling to retailers and offloading some of your risk. And for another thing, the sky high overall demand for 3080s is assuredly a more trustworthy indicator than whatever demand numbers they are getting from that notification list. While I'm sure they're in no immediate danger of overstocking their webstore there's going to be many people who are signed on to be notified about 3 or 4 SKUs while only intending to purchase whichever one happens to become available first. So really the waiting list is a clever but ad hoc solution to an unfortunate situation rather than a particularly accurate gauge of demand. If I were EVGA I'd be in no rush to make any promises about it.

Well I hope not a Zotac but atleast bestbuy have good return policy.  I couldnt turn the deal down as I was buying a i9 10900k and board which came out too about 800.  With best buy coupon I got the system for 1709 plus tax.  with a Rtx3080  Just hope its a good one.  

At least the queue system makes it easier to just set it aside in one's mind.
 
I've been harassing Newegg, BHPhoto (well...nagging more like) to do like a set Stocking Day for these products...the BHPhoto people are pretty amenable to it and we might see that start happening...I hope anyway.  With BHP calling their line is only a step or two away from their ownership.  Their buyers dont like to deal with mass backorders because they get entitled bougie people calling in insisting they get to skip the line, so that's understandable.  I'm hoping I can bother them enough to see BHPhoto make a set day/time range during the week when people should check for stock that way they can plan it, make it like 6PM PST on a Tuesday/Thursday or something, so any stock they get just sits until that day and most people in the US will be home for it.  It's a bit of a long shot but oh well.
