I prolly missed the answer but here goes Will the 1080ti be open to Elite EU members 24 hours early like it is for the US?
I've been distracted, had my oil checked today by my doctor and we're getting our first pfizer shots on Saturday morning.
best of luck to you all. 
 
PS: I asked him if I could have a wee whiskey later after the shot. You can get plastered he said, I love my doctor 
PPS: That's the truth.

Do you think European queue's for 3080ti will open at the same time as US ones, or there will be some time difference?

Well, technically, since the Elite members will get a 24 hour head start, I think the answer is certainly "no".  But whether the non-Elite launch a day later is NA and EU...I have no idea. That is a question worthy of a tweet at EVGA_JacobF.

I wanted to make jokes about you saying 1080 Ti but that wouldn't be particularly productive ;) As for the EU Elite member queue priority, I remember seeing someone else say that it was only for NA - might be worth messaging EVGAJacob on Twitter.

I 422nd the opinion that posting should not be a path to an elite status.  I get that this might be unfair to people who bought an evga product once 10 years ago, so maybe they could grandfather that and then halt it.  Probably a little on the late side now, but there's nothing elite about robotically posting with only one goal in the forums.  I think about the same on watching evga videos, but I guess they want viewers.  That I kind of get, it may well bring in additional sales from personal use buyers.
 
Regardless, I feel it's possible to still get in close to the beginning of the evga queue due to a semblance of a purchase limit, which is more than I can say for trying to buy a gpu or cpu on amazon.  It almost feels like they let people order and ship straight to the Amazon fulfillment center for third party sellers to turn around and sell to those willing to shell out around double the asking price.

I went for a MSI Gaming Carbon Z590 but that's a good looking board.

EnigmicAznNext drop of 3989 is scheduled for early May

Thanks! It will be fun to figurant drop size in GPUs number 
 

I tried that but most don't do International shipping and you have another 21% to pay on top to the gov if it did get sent. I don't mind the wait as I'd rather get  it from EVGA even with 21% Tax its still miles cheaper.

I think if you are from Europe, it's worth trying to buy 3000 series card from USA and then try to ship it to your country in EU. At least its going to be cheaper, because when you have price of 1600€ (~1950$) for 3080 in stores, and 2200€ (~2650$) for 3080 from scalpels it's just madness.

P.s. The main problem is, stores like best buy don't seem to ship their stuff around the world, and I cant seem to find any other way of shipping it. (Maybe make some friends in us and ask them to ship it to you)

EVGA has been my go to for gpu's and psu's going on 6 years now.They are diffently the best money can buy .But my loyalty is being tested from the total lack of getting a gpu after 7 months plus.Their loyalty seems to extend only to their partners and miners.Gamers on the list are getting very very very few gpu's.

No other brand is doing this that I know of.
The loyalty in question should be to nVidia for making the mining cards and not so great limiters.

While they have done more than other AIBs, its hard to blame people for being upset when EVGA does things that makes it harder for their loyal "fans" to get products.

Examples:
Giving cards to LTT instead of the queue. 
Advertising elite membership early access. 
Not offering Bstock on a notify basis. 

Don't get me wrong, the notify queue is great however seeing new customers/bots swoop in and grab cards while more loyal "fans" have to wait is not good for their brand retention. I think EVGA relies on that brand retention so it can be damaging to prioritize seeking new customers at the cost of existing ones. 

What does loyal fan of evga do when their last purchase was from 2010 ? Using this as an example because some of you spewing that forum account creation date correlates to level of evga devotion. If you really wanted the card. U would have sign up early. If you didn’t know about it. U had many chances after the changes made about evga invites. 3080 hybrids have been launched after nov. two months after ampere launch. Then there’s the folks who sign up for xc3 weeks after sept n complain they been waiting half a year with no movement. U can’t be serious and cry about it when u picked the cheapest no margin model for evga to make. Shortage going on along with materials in short. Like water being short supply in Taiwan doesn’t help either. If you don’t like how evga is handling it. Go buy zotac. They have drops everyday. Have fun with errors every time you click something

You have SKU sweeping skills, but apparently zero compassion. 
As long as you got yours, just keep harping on other people without...

 
compassion? plz.. all i hear is sense of entitlement and whining.. u want card? sign up n wait. nobody but urself to blame for not waking up early to sign up.. poo hoooooo. u needed ur sleep on launch day

defensorSo it’s looking pretty slim today for gpu notifies. Good luck next week!

Sometimes they send notification at 12AM PT. It is too early to give up.

I have never seen them send a notification at that time. Delete your account.

Lol I'm hoping he just meant 12pm PT and not that EVGA is sending out emails at the break of midnight.

I would go for allowing up to 10 posts per week count against the 100 post requirement.  That would spread the spam out a little bit, discourage spam in the first instance and yet still provide forum participation as a path to Elite status.  

I don’t think it should be 10 posts per week. Take me for example - I’m @ 60 something posts in a week or 2 but I actually contribute to the forum

Enewt mentioned for the first 10 posts to count towards Elite Status per week but still post as much as you wish, so a 10 week spread to get to elite status.  Seems like a good idea to me :)

That seems like a pretty good idea to me. I don't know how hard it would be to set up, but it is getting tiring wading through the spam.

Agreed, as it stands now it's basically a race to the bottom with zero benefit and nothing but mods being stuck trying to keep funneling ever growing numbers of spam farmers into threads which only exist for the purpose of mindlessly pushing a button until they hit the post count and become "elite".

Or in addition to the 100+, have a rolling per week avg. Like at least 10+ per week for the last 3 months (rolling months). Only real participants in the forums will have that. In addition, there should be a warm up period, like no new accounts with 100+ post should be allowed in the Elite for a warm up of 1 month. So, no last minute scalpers....
 

 
All good ideas.  And I can empathize with aliop1.  I've definitely posted a lot since Jan 12, but I had elite status before that for registering my 10 series gpu.  If I hadn't wanted a kingpin, I probably wouldn't have done so because it's not like I anticipate having heavy use of my associate's code.  I guess to that end, it probably saves evga a bit of money if they have more people who can't use them.  I don't mean that to be negative, but if I was a finance person working for evga, it would have crossed my mind.

What makes you say people who are now posting are scalpers?

I warrant that most are in fact genuine loyal customers who've never bothered posting as there was no prior incentive to do so.
