I've seen a lot of posts saying things like oh, so now I have to wait til 2022 after this most recent launch.  Some people asking if there's even a point in signing up after the first 24 hours.  Yada yada.
 
Look.  It's the first day and a half after this most recent launch.  No one really knows how it will shake out.  But to be a debbie downer so quick?  That's kind of a dumb way to approach it.  Not saying you're dumb, it's just taking a fatalist view.  Nothing suggests it's warranted yet as the movement to date has been pretty decent.  It's mostly validated that not many requests came in before the 7.20am PT mark on 6/3 for all cards released.  I think the 20s aren't super heavy and it will slow down in the 40s and 50s, but it's pretty good so far.  Focus on that.
 
The other thing evga seems to have done this launch is close down notifies for the lowest tier card early.  That's not awesome for some, but that's where the most danger was in getting the long wait (3655 being the most recent example).  As a counter example to the 3655, look at the 3657.  It's moved pretty well, and at just over 3 months, it's just after 10pm PT.  I think that was a 9am PT launch, so over 13 hours.  It's only going to keep moving faster and that was a budget card.
 
Drink some water.  Lower your sodium levels.  At least wait a month before you scream the sky is falling.  If everything stalls out after this week, then yep yell as fast as your typing fingers will allow it.  For now, just stop.

Great points. By shutting down a few queues early, they funneled us into fewer, longer queues...but ones that will show movement as opposed to some of the original 3080 queues that are still stuck in September.

Good points and well said from the both of you. We all just need to give it some time and remember that we're all on the same sides here. Being negative isn't productive - especially this early into everything. Let's just do our best to stay positive and keep each other company. Be the best community that we can while we wait together.

Oh, for 2 days +100 pages, I followed this thread, but I have no desire to read all these posts for 3 hours. In short, what's new -)?

I feel you...comrade...I feel you. 
 
Nothing new over here...hoping to get some leftover work done before I go out and try to find the sun with my daughter.  Procrastinating right now....Have a great weekend.

Any idea when people entered on 6/4 at 12:01 PM can have their chance? 

Just like static.quai *just* said, we don't know as the cards just launched.  The next week or two will give us a better idea hopefully.

🤣🤣🤣

We may start to have en understanding of what kindergarten teachers go through everyday.

I’m afraid we’ll have to have a rotation of somewhat established* members coming in and filling in with the repetitive answers till after a week of 3070 Ti launch.

“No Bobby, you shouldn’t eat your boogers.”, “yes Annabel, you will have to take a nap, just like the past 200 days you’ve asked”, “oh Patrick! When will you STOP shoving peas in your nostril!?”

* Not that I’m established, nor a longtime member, but the amount of detritus as enewt eloquently put, is becoming unmanageable.

Have been an assistant at a preschool, have taught a summer camp for ages 5-7, and have worked in customer service for software.

The software customers were more trouble than the kids ever were!

Are ultra cards even being made now?

Thank you! Is there any way to get a sense of how long the queue is? 

I'm more interested in whether the distribution of video cards in the queue has already begun

Did they make an announcement about stopping production on 3060 Ti? It hasn’t moved in months, I’m guessing they just killed it?

edit: I should say none of the 3060 Ti models have moved in months, so this isn’t about any particular one.

EVGA wanted to drum up interest in it's elite program and it got it's wish. What we are seeing is one result of thousands of new accounts being created in the run up to the 3080TI launch. This thread is being inundated with noobs and their noob questions, which is fine, but it does get old when you see questions like, "So, um, why do I have to wait in a queue? Why can't I just order a card?". Then you have the scalpers and others who just want to get their 100 posts and run through every single thread posting "Thanks". Asking the moderators to ban them is a fools errand because, remember, evga WANTS this. They want to track what people are buying and target their audience better. I think it's a little creepy, but they are all doing it now, or will be soon.
 
I had to take my kids to school just as the auto-notify for the 3080TI's was starting to loosen up, so I did not end up getting a time stamp for the 3080TI hybrid (3968) until a few minutes before 9am on 6/3. The queue is packed so tight between launch and my time stamp about 70 minutes later that I don't expect to ever get a card through the queue. I am less than a minute away in the 3898 queue, so I will get that one first and do the step-up if I really think it's worth it (I don't) to spend an extra $500 for another 2GB of VRAM.
