Are we able to get an estimate on how many people are in queue vs current stock incoming? And is the queue different for each region, such as Europe where I am.

Queue is global if I recall correctly, as long as you can afford shipping international during checkout. I think this may be one of the queue systems with over 1.5 million requests that some tech YouTubers have spoken about. EVGA has said they can't tell us how many are left in queue, what our overall place is, any kind of estimate, etc. I didn't think about getting in the queue until March, and last I checked (a few days ago), the latest public accounts of anyone getting a notification for a 3090/3080 actually got in line way back in December. Sure, many people are hoping for a reasonable price for _any_ SKU of a 3090/3080/3070, and the queue will lighten when people pass on the 5 or 6 variants that they no longer need (if they paid scalpers, or got lucky with another retailer, or went AMD, for instance), but it will still take several days just for 5 or 6 card reservations to expire and fall to the next in line. Without active queue managers making preemptive contact to shred through unnecessary and forgotten notification requests, we'll be waiting a long, long time. The 3090 launched on my birthday, and I was really considering getting it since the moment seemed like a welcoming sign. I was just concerned about spending 1.5 grand on a GPU... Never have I been filled with such regret.

I think if I can't get in the queue for 3080 Ti via the ELITE program, I should take it as a sign that tensor cores are too rare for a programmer to have any interest in. Maybe I'll revisit compute shaders and see if I can make use of the new WASM SIMD spec for pseudo DL acceleration in browsers & node. Was looking forward to that 3rd gen tensor performance. With notifications from December just being sent in May, I'll be lucky to get my March notification by next March.

I've been in que for the 3881, 3883 and 3885 since the first week of October and still nothing. I absolutely refuse to buy the outrageously priced ones on the Newegg shuffle. I guess I'll be rocking this water cooled 5700 XT until next year at the rate things are going. I was planning on building my son a PC for his birthday, but I think I'm going to have to wait until who knows when. Kind of pointless to build half a PC that he can't play games on with the way part availability is. Maybe I'll get lucky with a 3080 TI or something.

Queue is not international it’s regional

There are two queues - North America and Europe.

Just a gentle reminder that many queue entries are for people who already managed their cards out somewhere else or not interested / can't buy it / other reasons not to purchase it. I wish we had more visibility on the queue and can see who is where, anyways we wait and see.

I would lol so hard if the buyer ends up ghosting the seller

Now that payments are being handled directly through EBay, that's not a thing anymore.  They either pay or it doesn't ship.  There's no more "unauthorized transaction" attempting on Paypal's end of things.  I had someone try to pull that crap on me for an item I resold recently, I'm still dealing with the aftermath - the Paypal end of things is taken care of, but EBay has yet to give me back the Final Value Fee for the sale that didn't actually occur.  
 
 
Slightly off topic from that, but the guy that bought my 2nd RAM kit that I resold was all happy it looked brand new, "You must've taken a lot of time cleaning these off".  I'm like, naw dude, I don't touch my computer stuff with my bare hands, ever.  Vinyl/latex non-powdered gloves, all the time.  Sometimes it's a pain, but it saves me ever having to worry about fingerprint smudges.
 
Hoping the kit I want comes back in stock in Silver so I can get that ordered & then resell my current kit too. 4000MHz CL15 memory is going to be awesome to work with I think.  Should be able to run CL14 @ 3800MHz with pretty decent sub timings.
 
 
Hope everyone had a good & safe weekend, here's hoping we get some drops for the folks still waiting.
 

yea ebay is a little differnt now but i still cringe when i sell stuff on it sold a cpu last year and was worried but buyer left feedback said it worked great and was happy.  But 7-8 years ago i had a buyer leave feedback then try to scam me saying it didn't work i got it back worked fine he didn't return everything so i got paypal to give me a 20 dollar credit because of it.

I always make it a point to strike up a conversation with the buyer when they're still a bidder whenever possible & make sure they're not an a-hole.  If they are, I block them from being able to rebid.  I also block anyone with low feedback.  I know that's mean to new users, but at this point, if someone has a "new" ebay account, they're fishy lol

I get it but if I needed to buy something off ebay it would be from a new account lol. I purchased stuff many years ago from there but I don't even remember what username or email I would have used. Have never felt the need to go back since those days. Try to avoid it if possible.

New week, new drops, good luck all.

Any idea where we actually are date-wise on the3080FTW3 Ultra [3897] queue? The spreadsheet appears to be broken. I've been out of the loop a while now..are drops still happening regularly?

3897 is at 9/21 in North America. Around midday/early afternoon. I'll check the spreadsheet and fix it if there are any errors.

nice with this notifications queue, but how long it will take for EU to receive a card?

right on, thanks!

Dear readers, with premium (elite members), can I customize rare video cards?
By the way, thanks to Enewt, because of a technical error I missed the purchase of the 3060XC, and at that moment I could apply the code. But I will now wait for another video card, so I am interested in this code and discount in advance.

I was allowed to queue again at 3060 ... It's a pity that I could not buy a video card last time due to a technical error on the site. I wrote to EVGA, but they ignored me ... As a result, a new queue :(
12G-P5-3657-KR 2/25/2021 11:58:28 AM PT Yes - I couldn't pay for this, although I tried ...
12G-P5-3657-KR 5/17/2021 4:06:09 AM PT No - I put it in line again: (this time I probably can't wait.

If I recall correctly, you are outside of North America and trying to purchase through the NA queue... Which you cannot do.  EVGA support is usually amazing, I would be very surprised to hear they purposely ignored you if you contacted them correctly.
 
What is your exact situation?  Perhaps the forum can help you get squared away.

Sad to say, never.  As long as there's someone else who has access to the product and is willing to pay more than another person then the price will always rise to meet them.

If that article is to be believed, it would be cheaper to buy a 3090 from a European scalper than a US scalper. I've seen them going for $4400 and over, and 3199€ is about $3900. This is truly the worst timeline.

I am in the US but have many friends in Europe who are confirming that scalpers prices are a little lower in EU (especially Italy, Germany and Switzerland). But they are still insanely high scalper pricing!
