So have I missed the launch to non elite members? I never saw it go in stock even 24 hours after the page was listed saying it was for elite members. Really tired of this elite bullcrap. I only built two pc's, one in 2010 with EVGA mobo and video card and one in 2020 but since I didn't qualify to be an evga elite I could never get anything because it was saved for elite members... It's like they don't want new customers

Most items haven't been "in stock" for the last 18+ months. They have been doing a queue system. After the first 24 hours, anybody can hit the "auto notify" button. That puts you on the list. That's all we have, even if you are "elite". The elite doesn't mean it is definitely in stock for you. You just get to hit the button first. Also, anybody can be elite. All you need to do is spam post based on Evga's rules.

As Nike_7688 said, incredibly low bar to get Elite status - you could do it yourself in an hour or two just spamming your way to 100 posts. One of the main points of the Elite program is to help stop scalper bots from taking all the stock before us humans can get one, which is a problem everywhere. EVGA did us all a huge favor and got proactive about the situation. All of the new product releases start with a notification button only, and Elite members get first access (for 24 hours) to hit that button and get themselves in the queue before all the bots and scalpers can do it. The queue is first come first serve. The first few people in the queue usually will get an email within a day or two with a link to purchase the item, but there are other items (specifically some GPUs) where the first person in the queue still had to wait months for stock to come in. Again, very low bar for Elite access though, which is way WAY better than losing everything to scalper bots and only having an option to pay 2-3 times retail for the item through 3rd parties. We should be THANKING EVGA for doing what they can to look out for us.
