Hold Fast; do not feed the profiteers!

But Eth hash has grown from 2.9 million 3080's to 5.1 million 3080's
 

Why do you assume these are 3080s.  There are plenty of other cards that can mine, including previous gen cards which are finding their way into the market as people upgrade.

So many of the skews (3080s and 3090s) have not had any cards delivered since early October. 7 months, more than half a year, zero cards delivered to queued waitlisters.

I'm sure everyone at EVGA is working hard, and deserves more money...but many of us work hard and deserve more money. The price increases shouldn't happen when the zero cards have been delivered in 7 months.

EVGA is not responsible for the global supply issues.  Nor is EVGA responsible for the tariff.  They've more than earned my kudos for maintaining the pricing as long as they have.  Now they should adjust all pricing to better reflect the market - and yes, I mean they should increase the current listed prices to more closely match what their competitors are charging.

They are responsible for supplying cards to SIs, but providing none to the waitlisters. It reeks of greed, they tell us they hope we get one before their arbitrary date in April when they are to increase the prices, but have delivered no cards for many on the high-end skews. I understand we have to pay a tariff. I'm saying I wouldn't feel salty if they were delivering 1 or 2 cards a month, advancing the queues, but they haven't for 7 friggin' months. 0 for 7 months.

I get that you want to express the flawed concept they are just doing their best, and this is Capitalism, but what you are really doing is saying I'm wrong to feel salty about the situation, which is wrong to do.

The global supply issue affects everything.  Every component that goes into a graphics card.  Every PCB chip that goes into a car.  There's a shortage of parts for refrigerators, ovens, washing machines.
EVGA is producing GPUs as they can.  That's not a "flawed concept" it's just a fact.

Go ahead and be salty but you're busy blaming people who are at the tail end of a struggling supply chain for everything that's happened in the last year.

Well somehow I can't help but also agree with the guy a bit: it does seem like EVGA is shipping a lot more to pretty much everyone/everywhere else and we are stuck with barely anything in the queues on a monthly basis... It does look like greed, and they don't seem to care much of the April 16th cutoff date...

Sorry but my hope is pretty much gone at this point and there is just no good news anymore it seems. I find it almost impossible to stay positive anymore.

Greed doesn’t even make sense. They sell us the cards at msrp, they sell to cards to other business for less so when they sell for msrp there is more profit. They would make more money selling them directly to us than the businesses. Also look at the pricing of a strix card vs a ftw3 even after tariff pricing.

 
you're ignoring many part of running a business.. they have contractual obligation to fulfil.. they want store shelf. if they dont provide to retailers, in the future when covid is gone how are they gonna push cards sales.. they arent built to do large e commerce.

No I perfectly understand that, that is what isn’t entire comment is about. If they wanted to be greedy the greedy thing would be to sell them all direct because it’s more profit right now. Instead they are fufilling what they are required to deliver and putting the rest of the cards in the queue. They also have no control over what nvidia sends them. Higher quality dies are likely going into ftw3 while the lower quality ones go in the lower units. EVGA is doing their best to manage a broken supply chain during a pandemic.

Good morning, everyone! Remember, even if the queue is moving as slow as a snail, well...salt isn't good for snails. Good luck today!

 
I don't think I'm getting one. LOL. 9/22/20 for the 10G-P5-3881-KR

Don't worry about the spam thing: I spoke with a forum mod last week and he confirmed that their filters are way too aggressive recently and put a lot of posts in the ''waiting approval'' list. Wouldn't surprised me if the spam thing I keep seeing too is part of that.

If you're seeing "Flagged for Spam" That means a forum member marked the post as being "spam" i.e. they're probably salty about whatever was posted - hence why I pretty much stopped visiting this thread, as my posts were getting marked a lot (which actually does nothing, unless it's marked as spam A LOT then it will get modded) for no other reason than what I imagine is what I said.  I've said it before & I'll say it again, the forum has a block feature for a reason, use it if you need to - marking something as spam that is clearly NOT 'spam' by it's literal definition is actually potentially wasting a Mod's time, and as far as I know none of these forum mods are paid for their work here (unless it's listed that they are employed by eVGA in another position, other than Forum Moderator), meaning they have regular jobs too, etc, that's not very nice.
 
 
Good luck on drops everyone and all that good stuff, very disappointing to see how little movement we've had since March 1st, but I did project that, so I'm not really surprised by it in the slightest.
 
 
I'm just hoping we get HydroCopper blocks for the various cards, including specifically the Kingpin of course since that's what I have, sometime soon.  I know Jacob tweeted about them the other day saying "Mid April", but at this point, if they were coming "mid April" I think the website would be updated from "No ETA" on the HC card listings, to some rough date like they did when the Hybrid cards/kits were coming up, in example "Will begin shipping the week of".
 
 
Nice seeing everyone, have a pleasant day, I'm off to go pick up the last parts I need to get going on this AMD build upgrade I'm doing, CPU & RAM coming in today so I'm much-excite... unfortunately it's a 3900x because I'm not about to pay scalper prices on a 5900x when I can wait a month or two & get one at $549 like it should be... assuming the HW News is try & CPU supply is stabilizing.

We have seen a gradual, but sustained reduction in the amount of 3897 releases on the queue over the last five weeks.  The weeks of Feb 15 and 22 were relatively good compared to every other week in 2021. I am hopeful we don’t have another dead week like earlier this year.   It seems odd to talk about product queue releases in terms of this year and last year (potentially next year).  I won’t digress into worldwide logistics, prognostications of the effects of Asian holidays, raw material shortages, mining, or chip yields.  Too depressing.
 
Wednesday has slowly become a card release day in the last few weeks.  Since yesterday was deader than a doornail, let’s see some movement!  Not 20-30 seconds, more like hours.

I'm 1min away for 3060 hope it's Today!

Press conference or something in 4-5 days from nVidia from what I could see on Reddit... I've reached a point I seriously hope they do not announce a 3070/3080TI: this is the last thing we need right now. Just stop with the constant new SKUs and focus instead on boosting stock on current ones that you still can't meet demand after almost 7 months.
 
I'm aware it's probably not a popular opinion but something serious need to be done regarding the backlog, and coming up with new SKUs while abandoning the ones that have been waiting (with million of people in line) for months is NOT the way to go.

It's unlikely, but who knows in the current market craziness. They don't typically talk about consumer GPUs at GTC.

So I am a bit worried that I have developed a fascination with queues. The latest manifestation...I have never been a huge car racing fan, but I have fallen in love with the Netflix docu-series, Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Three seasons (so far). All of them excellent. And what I have learned from watching the series is that every race weekend consists of three days: (1) practicing the course to try to get the fastest time to get the best place in line, (2) competing on "qualifying" to get the fastest lap to get the best place in line, and (3) getting into line to start the race.
 
If my EVGA purgatory continues much longer (likely), I may have to watch the whole three seasons over again (twist my arm). I might have a problem....

Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Three seasons (so far).

Thanks for the PSA! Completely missed that the season 3 was out.

I love the show, but actually having followed Formula 1 during the previous season, they left a lot of HUGE things out and built up random drama. I guess nothing unexpected, but if you enjoy the show, I would recommend doing a little further digging into the previous season and seeing some of the crazy things that happened! :)

Oh I’ve been following F1 since 1986, so I’m looking forward to the added drama in the show to poke fun at 🤣.

It’s been really low key on Amazon Prime, but they quietly released “Alonso” sometime last summer in case you’re interested.

Well, good luck all for today’s drops. My 3898 request date is in February, so I’m thinking “~2 months done, 8 more to go...”
