Apparently, the 1650 super '1357' is enabled for Auto-Notify as I just received my notification for it back in March.

I doubt they will do any drops today.

I hate to prove you wrong but...

I got mine as well but it isn't a queue system so when I immediately went to the site to buy, it was already OOS so its almost a waste of time.

It seems like a straggler probably leftover from people not buying theirs from the day before yesterday...

I assume so.  I was a handful of seconds away after the initial launch drops.
 
I wasn't trying to suggest we'd get substantive drops today, was just too easy an opening when I went to post my status.

I doubt they will do any drops today. It’s looking like next Tuesday if anything hopefully they drop some prices too. Aib card prices are outrageous.

At least it gives everyone time to sell some organs to pay for a new card...

i remember when everyone i knew only gamed on consoles.... now everyone is into pcs.... really ruined the market. 

im waiting on a 1600w psu lol

Anybody know a way to see when your ELITE coupon expires?

exactly 90 days from when you spun the wheel, should have an email telling you when you got it, which can give you a reference point to see how long you have to use it

Well I only found an email of when I got Elite status. 90 days from that was.... Next tuesday. It's only 10% off but it would kind of be BS that I can't use it for this queue.

I had to look back and my Elite status began on 3/5.   No wheel spin was offered to me, so I would say you got lucky that they implemented the wheel thing right before you joined!

Are the PSUs included in the EVGA queue system?

I put in an alert for a 1000W T2 as well.  If that ever pops, I'll grab that for my main PC.

Just be aware that it's not a queue, so if you get an e-mail you'll have to be quick to get into the website and grab one.

I just got there at 9 scanned the code then pulled my laptop out and caught up on emails in the parking lot. They texted about an hour later. When you walk up to the store they put you in a mini line until folk in front of you clear out. This son dad combo was behind me and the kid 12 or 13ish was just so dang happy he got selected. We were talking about fortnite and warzone, and other games he plays. I'm an older gamer dude so his dad probably thought it was weird lol. It was fun just listening to how excited he was. Does me good when I see people like that getting cards.

That's awesome. I, too, am an older gamer dude and spent some time in the industry so I love watching kids eyes when I start talking with them about games and demonstrating real gamer cred...the kids are impressed and the parents are the opposite. I think I get disinvited to more neighborhood cocktail hours this way than through any other means....
 
Over the last nine months, the posts that have brought me the most joy are messages of a parent (gamer or non-gamer) who is ecstatic that they have finally secured a card for the child or grandchild. It is a mixture of relief, joy...and...relevance...the parent establishing that they can hunt and gather for their child. I love it!
 
Edit: Thanks johcamp21. I appreciate the kind thoughts and will pass them along.

That day is probably coming when my kid is older, for now it's just the younger folks at work that are surprised that I'm a gamer.
 
Even though I snagged a 3080 Ti for myself I'm staying on queue for the others to get a card for my niece's build and for a coworker who wanted to get into gaming after hearing the rest of us talk about it but neither could get a card for non-scalper prices. If they get something before my place in line comes up then I'll withdraw and someone else will get theirs just a little bit sooner.
 
Scalpers have been invading my other hobby: beer. They sit in line with all the mules they can afford at beer releases where they know they can resell for crazy amounts and prevent others from getting a chance to even try some of these great beers. I'm so fed up with them that my wife and I buy our limit for each and then thread-crap the sales threads for them with offers at $1 less than cost.
 
Oh and while I'm at it thanks for volunteering to administer this thread! I've been following for months but have mostly been lurking until recently. I wasn't able to use your associate code, being one myself, but hopefully you're getting some decent cred for your efforts. Maybe we can petition EVGA to sign your KPE when the time comes or at the very least give you a snarky forum title 

Thanks for coming out of the lurking shadows to post; it is our stories that bring life to this thread while we wait. Thank you also for the kind words.  
 
I hope to get JacobF to sign my KPE box but I also hope to convince him to open up the box and sign the card itself. It would be uber cool if he wrote something like "I drew enewt like I draw my French girls." Probably too much to ask, right?  Still, I am convinced that my name will be called on a Titanic Tuesday....  Oh, and regarding a cool forum title, EVGA Amphibian has a nice ring to it.  Thanks again!

Oh my god this had me rolling! Co workers are looking at me funny now. HAHAHAHAHA

I laughed at this one... Jacob the last few months:

LMAo! I can only imagine man. I could not take it. Not sure how Jacob just hums along and still responds to folks pretty regularly.

I think that's a rather short-sighted analysis of the situation. The PC market isn't in shambles because of growth. Remember that next gen consoles are suffering the same fate as us: supplies are extremely limited and scalping is rampant. We're in a perfect storm right now of supply constraint, market interest, conflicting interests (read: cryptocurrency mining), and access to disposable income. The end result is a market that's primed for scalpers to cash in on guaranteed income from people that are either desperate enough to pay a premium (gamers with aging systems, parents trying to support their kids' hobbies, people looking for an outlet while they're cooped up) or could care less about the price (miners who factor inflated cost into their ROI, people who habitually upgrade every generation, people who've gotten rich from pandemic-related windfalls). That habitual upgrading behavior is much stronger in console sales, as well. The electronics industry as a whole is upside down right now.

I have a question I see on YouTube channels that the rtx 3070 ti is about 5fps faster then a regular 3070 my question is how much more would a ftw3 ultra add to those 5 fps would it push it to 10 fps or not even that

Not much tbh.  You would be better off saving a little extra for a 3080 instead of going for a 3070ti.
 
But in this market people are barely able to pick and choose, instead it's whatever you can get your hands on.

I think reasonably speaking, 90% of the people here would like a 3080 over pretty much any other GPU... 😅. And yes, there will likely be margin of error differences between the FTW3 and FE models, maybe a few FPS, depends on other components of course as well. If you were set on a 3070, I would probably wait for that or continue looking for it. If you absolutely cannot wait and get a notify for a 3070 Ti, I would say go for it. It's terrible value, but we are all beggars here, and you know what they say about beggars...
