I wasn't selected but they are sorry.  Awful nice of them to say that.

I need to buy a case and cooling for my 11900.  This is a hard decision, especially not knowing which GPU I will eventually get.  Part of me says get the 1000D so that no matter what I get, I'm good.  But it's a monster and I don't really want to have to buy 18 fans.  
Considering a hydro setup, but I'm not a fan of glass tubes.  Anyone know of a really good kit with flexible tubes?  Heck I might even try my luck at getting a 3090 Hydro if I can find something

Since a lot of this thread is complaining about the lack of hardware I figured I'd log in and up my post count to do the same .  I paid out the nose to get him a 3070 (08G-P5-3755-KR) in time for Christmas but the plan from day one was 3080 (10G-P5-3885-KR) and a 3080 remains the target for him.

enewtHe is clearly not getting them from the queue.

Really? How about this algorithm:
1) Register bunch free emails and sign up all of them for notification on launch day
2) Wait notifications
3) Buy bunch Visa/MasterCard prepaid cards with exact amount one per notification
4) Register profiles, use your address(assume it is single family home), but use random names and add different apartment number for each profile. Name or apartment number doesn't matter as soon address has correct house number, street name and zip code
5) Order it and receive it
6) Sell it
7) PROFIT !!!
I did not tried it(and have no plans to do so), but I believe it may work.

Pretty sure their use of "one per household" harpoons this idea.

pmrdijPretty sure their use of "one per household" harpoons this idea.

Pretty sure EVGA staff doesn't check every address if it single family home or apartment building.

It would be fun still xD

EnigmicAznSupposedly they do. Several people that live in the same household like roommates have asked Jacob why they couldn't buy their card when their notify came up and lone behold, their roommate already bought one.

They do check address. Exact same address. If you will add apartment number then it is different address! Otherwise it will be impossible to order for different customers lives in same apartment building. If you live in a single family home, you can add any apartment number and shipment still will be delivered to you.

OK So I have personal experience with this one.  A friend of mine in Arizona signed up for every 3080 and 3090 que and a couple 3070 ques.
He has gotten two cards so far, a 3090 and a 3070.
EVGA is saying one per household but that's on a per card basis from all appearances, and I think that sucks.
Let someone buy one but it should end their notifies for all at that point.
This friend offered the card to me for over list and when I didn't bite he sold it for a huge profit.  
And he is still in que for like 5 more cards.
 
Just isn't right.

Yes, it's 1 SKU per household. People can sign up for all the SKUs and receive them eventually.

The argument against that is people want a specific card but cant get so they will settle for something else for now until they get their card.

The step-up queue just like this one is worthless depending on how late you are and its just faster per say if you had signed up for all in the beginning so you eventually get that specific card you want.

Its not perfect like in your friends instance but it works to some degree.

I don't have much hope getting a 3080 before the 4000s are announced at this rate. I ended up taking my EVGA 980 TI apart and re-seating the heatsink to solve the overheating issues which was the instigator for making a new build. Had to settle for an AMD 5800X because 5900X are just as rare as 3080s..... BUT, since solving the heating problem with my 980TI, I can at least play my current library again. (EVGA, if you read this, put more thermal compound on the die please.)

More thermal compound won't solve the aging problem.  you did the right thing by applying a fresh coat.  I should probably look into maybe doing the same to my 1070 FTW2.

I did not mean to insinuate that the lack of thermal compound caused the heat issue over time. Sorry, two separate things. When I popped off the heatsink, most of the die was reflecting back at me. Maybe only 1/3 had coverage.

I am from Siberia, I got in line for rtx 3060 ti. can i expect to buy from my region?

good morning,
since i am assembling a new pc and i wanted to buy an evga as a video card, i lined up hoping for the notification for the purchase ...
cordially how much is the waiting time for a video card usually ??
Thanks for the info

 
Unfortunately a lot of SKUs haven't moved in months so realistically nobody here can tell how long you'll be waiting. With that said with so little movement it's safe to say you won't get a notification to purchase until at least 2022.

Another sad day for the 3897 :(

In other news, might be an unpopular opinion, but I’m tired of seeing all the big posts with a bunch of calculations over the hashrate for Ethereum.. I feel like half of their post count on this forum have been from telling us about mining profitability.. :/

It can feel like it sometimes, but in reality it's not close to that at all.  The larger majority of posts are the observation that x sku didn't drop, y sku did drop, and why it sucks that this is drawing out like it is (or why evga is awesome for at least trying something different).  The eth posts are scattered and try to explain what's going on with x.  I think it's just when people talk about hash rates, it's a larger post.  I think it's informative, but I agree with you that it is filler that isn't really needed.  I think having discussions is good though, so my question would be, other than getting great news on drops, what would you prefer people discuss?  We can't exactly will drops into being.  I'd argue that people sharing critical thinking takes is more useful than x didn't drop.  It's clear x didn't drop.  Better to try and understand why in a way other than nvidia / contracts / supply chain / manufacturing woes.

Not saying I care about getting off topic in general. Everyone is free to talk about what they want to, just feels like one person in particular keeps calculating profitability every time they post.

It took me 136 days for my RTX3080 FTW3 Ultra to come, so Patience here is a highly valued thing xD on the other hand you can submit your place in the queue and try the F5 game in Newegg, the guys here know better than me about it in general.

Agreed! If he just signed up, he’s gonna need a whole lot of patience 😅

I think the facts I alluded to are being disregarded. I'm not saying EVGA is being greedy. I'm saying the optics of delivering zero cards in many high-end skews for 7 months looks unethical, as if they were being greedy, because that increase of $70, while not a lot, and far from what others have done, can't help but feel dirty because it is in the the neighborhood of $1M. I'm not saying the price increase is too much, I'm saying I feel done wrong by there being zero cards delivered in high-end skews, ZERO.

If you go back in the pages you will see these have not moved since early October, some have not moved at all since this thread's inception. Zero is a hell of a number, scratch that, it isn't a number. It is zero. In 7 months it is zero. If after April 16th we do get movement, then that is even dirtier. Each one of these skews represent a few mil each of waitlisters and more in realized sales. I'm not trying to be ungrateful. I want to be loyal. I want to think kind things. I want to have empathy. I already think low of other brands. I know the other brands are ran by POS. I get that even after the price hike, EVGA will still be the best deal with best service, but zero in 7 months is getting kind crazy, and when you see what have been delivered everywhere else and even by EVGA to reatail and SIs, damn it makes me salty. Fricking zero.

 
I completely disagree with your idea.  I can't believe EVGA would do what you think is going to happen.
EVGA can not possibly be that short sighted to do all that to score 1 million dollars.
 
Time will tell if you are accurate.  Or if it is simply a lack of chips and that the few chips that do exist are being directly sent from nvidia to large gpu mining farms.
 
Thus builders like EVGA get left out of the loop.
 
The only gpu growth I see is in mining ETH which points to chips going to gpu farms.
 
BTW. could be older chips going to the farms. Since they are larger they may have better yields.  If that is the case.  We will not see a lot of gpu movement in APRIL MAY or JUNE.

Constantly blaming EVGA's queue or coming up with conspiracy theories is nonsense.  Put effort into getting a card if you are able, if you are not or unwilling to, please stop crying here.
 
Maybe you would better off buying a $2300 Shuffle Strix, since ASUS and Newegg are such ethical companies that they skipped a queue, grandfathered pricing, associate code discounts, and went straight to insane markups beginning of the year.
 
Or maybe Amazon, who not only lists clearly scalped cards but also seems to implement zero bot protection so getting a card from there is basically impossible for a human?  
 
Or maybe MicroCenter, which is PC heaven, a brick and mortar store that cares enough to price gouge 30-series cards across their vast 25 location kingdom?
 
Best Buy is arguably the only place that has consistently tried to improve and implement a fair system beyond EVGA, and that took months to develop to what it is today... All the while people complaining about how bad BB sucks.

Yup I have 2 3070s on the way. I won the shuffle 2 days in a row.
 

you are from NA or EU?
when did you make 3070?

NA, but my queue is still far away. I won the NEW EGG shuffle 2 days in a row and was able to purchase a couple outside of the queue.
