In 3 weeks there have been 3 confirmed cards send to Europe. After that there were 2 elite members notified 2 but they couldn't finish their checkout and EVGA did not assist them in any meaningful way. They have cancelled they're notifications and bought from a retailer where they had to overpay a few hundred euro's. Because evga does send cards to retailers so they're customers can get scalped. I understand they have contracts but it still stings 100 percent of allotted cards go to retail for EU.

There has been zero communication regarding these issues. The most we got is that they're looking how to improve the Europe situation. This was last week, no further updates and we only get updates if we all complain. There's been some tweets from EVGA stating, if you're in the queue you will get a card. Words are wind. Without any meaningful actions it doesn't mean anything.

I understand they can not promise x cards in x weeks. But seeing how that communicate with US where there's weekly update on drops does make it even more frustrating.

Maybe EVGA tried there best with the EU queue, i hope so. But the execution of it has been frustrating at best and people leaving the brand at worst.

So EVGA go ahead and cancel all EU notifications or actually do something meaningful this week.

Ps. For all US gamers who have their cards from EVGA I am genuinely happy for you and I have zero quarrel with you. I understand EVGA is a US based company and that you are the primary market. But that doesn't excuse the fact how they've treated loyal EU customers.

Gamers don't have borders.

Threads are getting boring now, we know the EU gets the short end of the stick. It is what it is, you buy something else or wait for eternity. 

Agreed, the current situation is just a huge waste of peoples time and doesn't do EVGA's reputation any good.

Yall should watch the series named "iron fist" on netflix.. it is boring concerning super powers BUT it will teach you something about big companies.. watch it and then you will see why a company does not care for a few euros it misses.. now if you take millions of euros from them through boycotting them or something? THEN theyll give you all the attention like a harlot but if you stop paying that harlot POOF no more attention.. and there it was you THOUGHT she loved you hahahaha.. dummy.. it turns out she loved that shiny money of yours HAHAHA!!! (stop her income and shell be begging your attention again)

Totally agree with everything you guys said.

I understand that we still in GPUs shortage. I understand contracts with retailers have more priority for EVGA than queue. But sending few 3080 ti, none 3070 ti (not mentioning 3080 and 3070) and not a single information what is the situation is unacceptable. Spamming their forum won't give you much (unless you want elite status). You want to be heard - start boycotting EVGA products and complain how they treat EU customers in social media. Nothing mobilize a corporation for action like bad PR.

I am european and waiting in queue.
A queue is what it is, a queue.
Can be fast or slow but is something at least.
Many reseller in my country have a queue but you do not have a guaranteed price and you have to immediately allocate some money to get access to a queue that is not faster than this.
You surely need patience but you do not pay anything being in EVGA queue and you can searche everywhere and cancel your notify if you find something better in another place.
Surely i am not happy to wait but i surely want to remainb in queue and if someone else will cancel his interest i will be a little closer to my card.
You do not lose anything waiting in queue, it can be painful but i am against the elimination of european queue
Unfortunately we do not known anithing about the real distribution of products USA vs EU and we can only theorize about motivations and time, the prize will be for the most patient in the end.. or maybe with the chinese hostility against value mining and a possible end of semiconductors shortage europe will be flooded by GPU
The hope is free
 

A queue is only a queue if there's progress. Otherwise it's just a line. 3 weeks is a long time to have 0 updates.

Name one other AIB that even offers a queue? If i were EVGA i'd think what's the point trying to help these people when all they do is make threats! Get real, it's a queue, filled as and when their existing commitments allow. In an ideal world, there wouldn't be a gpu shortage, the reality remains that demand outweighs supply. You say   
 
In life you have a choice, go buy one for 200% msrp and stop complaining, or wait patiently like everyone else. No one owes you anything! You contribute nothing to this forum, your account has 2 posts, both negative, and yet you believe that EVGA should make YOU a priority. There are countless people that have benefited from the queue, able to buy cards at msrp which they wouldn't have been able to get were it not for the evga queue system. If you had been one of those people, i'm sure you would have a different view. 

Threats? Chill, we're just using our right to complain about the current situation.

The EU queue means nothing if they don't send cards. If they would send 4 cards a week people wouldn't complain this much. But they don't do anything. And what does post count mean? Maybe he had purchased for thousands of euro's of EVGA equipment.

Right to complain? What right? oh, you mean your sense of entitlement! It's a queue with no guarantee or promise. Perhaps a different approach might work better than threatening to post on social media and boycott their products.
 
Posts- read what I said, no contribution. 
 
purchases - Maybe he didn't - but I bet he would jump on a purchase if he received a notification. 
 
Go ahead, name another AIB that has even come close to offering gpu's at msrp in this market, and has actually delivered to thousands of buyers! - Geesh, all about me, me, me.

1. Moderator should ban users that create the same topics over and over. There should be only one EU availability thread.
2. Evga is supplying retailers in EU, because - at least in my country - Evga was never popular until retailers started selling Evga cards, queue system is bonus for chosen one
3. Many of complainers here are not Evga fans and never have been, you just want to seize opportunity for buying card and possibly scalp said card on eBay
4. Stop spamming Evga forums
5. And already some retailer employees confirmed massive drop of Evga cards and it is happening now, retail is priority, queue second, because as I said Evga was never popular here until they worked with retailers

 
 
 

EVGA was popular in EU for long time, im personaly big fan for years even tho i registered on website only in 2018. I feel like i have right to complain because the way they treat EU makes fans like me want to quit and never look back, i dont want that, probably most people here dont want that, maybe the way they express it is not the best, but i am sure in most cases this is the main reason for complains. If you look carefully, there is loads of people like me, i dont even have  100 post, been registered for years, and we got elite status because we simply been supporting this company. What we get in return is just dissapointment so  theres that, frustration and complains.

If you think that scalpers bother to complain over and over to get that 1 single card then sorry but that makes you look realy silly.

You have your card, im 1000% sure that if you didnt get it,  you would be one of us complainers.

the queue made by EVGA doesn't work for Europe, dispite the best efforts in creating the queue, it is a queue only in name, it gives out no gpu's especially compared to the real queue created by EVGA for the US. So i'm forced to agree completely with the OP and i can't understand why EVGA would do this.

I am sorry that you feel this way, but it is what it is. I am grateful for this opportunity, because in my country retailers are selling GPUs for ridiculous prices for example RTX 2080 Ti for 4922 USD (see here)! I do not mind waiting for GPU for normal price. I see that America gets much better allocation of GPUs, but you cannot really blame EVGA for that. They are US based after all.
If you do not like this system, you do not have to participate in it. Please, do not ruin this opportunity for the rest of us.

Good luck buying what you want :)

Being US based or not is no excuse. Like BMW only sends cars to Europe or Coke only sells in the US, that doesn't make any sense.
 
But that's not even that what we are discussing, the question is why making a EU queue in the 1st place? as i see it only to give false hope to people that are desperate for gpu's, that's not right to toy with people's emotions like that. Every single European that entered the queue was obviosly expecting some gpu's to come our way.

Your emotions are your own. If you don’t think you’ll get a card, then stop worrying about it and try and find one another way. If you feel like EVGA won’t ever get around to customers in the EU, then why bother checking how the queue progresses? Just move on, and don’t let it bother you.

Video cards worldwide are in very short supply from all manufacturers. You can find some EVGA cards at various European retailers, but the prices far exceed MSRP. Right now the only way to get an EVGA video card at MSRP is to enter the queue and be very patient for months. 
 
If anyone in Europe doesn't mind paying far over MSRP then just let me know via a PM and I'll try my best to find you a card online.

in Europe at this pace i would say we have to be very patient for years not months. Have you check the pacing of the EU queues?
