Forum lurker for a while here. Just received my notify. 12G-P5-3967-KR 6/3/2021 8:56:55 AM PT Yes
 
Purchased and used enewt's associate code. Thanks for making this wait a little more bearable. Wishing everyone else the best of luck snagging cards with this less-than-ideal change!

I've been in queue for any card since 9/17/20, and whatever change occurred finally sent me my first notify.  08G-P5-3755-KL from 12/7/2020 just hit.   Happily purchased even though I would have preferred a 3080.  Came to this thread expecting celebration and I see people with multiple cards already feeling sad.  Can't relate. Happy day here thanks to this better system.

It's more about people who were waiting for a 3080 or 3090 for a year, and while waiting were able to purchase a 3060 in the interim. They are now being punished for buying a lesser card while waiting in a queue for the card they wanted. I would be angry too. This rule change shouldn't be retroactive, or at the very least should only be hitting people in queues for a like-kind card (meaning already got a 3080 card and are in a queue for another 3080, or already got a 3090 and are in a queue for another 3090). I hope you can understand that.

I don't get it. You signed up in one queue and waited over a year for one specific card and didn't try any other avenues? Can you help me understand the reason why you did this?
 
Congratulations on your card though! Glad to see you finally nabbing one!

Yeah, this is seriously disappointing.
I used my 3080ti FTW queue spot to help a friend whose 5700xt melted in November. 
Now I'm <5 minutes out in 2 different queues that *had* been moving recently (one of which was always my target, the other being a consolation prize), but what does that matter now?
 
And what does it matter to those of us still in queue for a 3080 from 9/16/20. 
 
At this point most, if not all, of the scalpers and botters have gotten all of their cards, this is just further penalizing people who legitimately want/need cards.
 
This is pretty tone-deaf, coming from a company that I respect.
 
 

It seems making this the rule from this point forward, or limiting 30-series cards to two per household would be a more elegant solution. Many people have been in queue for months for themselves and their child or spouse on different cards and they've lost months pursuing other purchasing options with the expectation their notify would ultimately be happening soon. Scalpers already have multiple accounts I'm sure and this likely does little to stop that.

Not a fan of this recent update.

You basically screwed people who had to settle for say a 3060 while waiting for their 3080. People who signed up for other cards for friends.

Whats even worse is it was polled on the other thread where 65% of ppl voted to leave the system as it is.

This is my notify screen. 
 
*late edit, I guess not since apparently I dont know how to link here, but no, I had many queue positions*
I didn't realize back in September of 2020 we were talking about waitlists over a year and I only needed one card so it didn't occur to me to shotgun everything/anything until later.  The card that hit today was from my first "batch" selection in December, and then later in January I clicked everything.   Newegg shuffle never hit for me i'm at least 0fer40, I can't line up at a bestbuy an hour away Friday mornings, and I wasn't going to pay a scalper.

I was about to cut my veins after so much drama. Until I have read, at last, a piece of good news. Congrats! Enjoy it!
S.D: EVGA is not trying to be fair. Is trying to be equitable. Despite they can fail at doing both things. Unprecedented situations call for unprecedented measures.

Update 10/4/2021
In an effort to expedite those in queue who are still waiting for a EVGA GeForce RTX 30 Series Card, and to be fair to all EVGA customers, we are making a running change:

1. Accounts that have NOT purchased an EVGA 30 series card yet as part of the queue will be

Can you please clarify if this means a definite purchase and not also those who got an email
Invitation to buy and passed on it?

In my case I had signed up for the original black gaming, when I heard the hybrid queue was coming up in December I received an invitation to buy gaming black around the same time but passed and waited for the hybrid queue instead. Please tell me that people like me don’t get pushed to the back of line? We never purchased a card.

Yes, this only applies to completed purchases.  Passing on a notification does not impact your queue.

Well this new policy SUCKS!  I bought a card, not what I wanted but a a 3080.  I really want the 3090 Kingpin Hybrid.  Now EVGA is telling me, Hey we changed the rules.  So to bad about the card you really wanted!

EVGATech_LeeMhowever, they are still limited to one purchase per person, per household.

Per person or per household? "per person" does not make any sense since person included in household.

Just think of it as leftover legalese.  Per household is controlling, as you note.

Of course, you have no way of telling that people signed up with fake accounts, tens of thousands of them.
 
You might want to fix this change before you have people rioting in front of your offices.

Wow, I feel so bad for people who settled for a 3060 and now can't get the card they want. I bought a 3060 because I was desperate and had no gpu, but finally got better notifies. I can't imagine how some people might feel betrayed by this.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly, I happened to get a 3060 while I wait for my 9/17/2020 3881....but now that notify seems to be worthless because I got the 3060...so dumb.

Wow the salt mines are back in full swing again 🤔

This isn't the kind of thing you do mid-game, this is something you do for NEW rounds coming out, like the Super series. Business 101, honor commitments as laid out, and if you want to make a change to policy you do so for future commitments, not existing ones (unless the issue is a danger to customers or something).
 
So I managed to get a couple cards, went to family and best friend at cost, but kept using my system as is because it was fine. Card died, now just using my laptop. So the 3070ti XC3 that I'm like 50 seconds away from I'll just never get I guess? And I can't really be like "Hey, go ahead and give me that card back bro".
 
As others have said, not everyone can be sitting at their computer at nuts O'Clock on the dot to get in the queues, nor are they elite members. My brother works construction and he's gone by 4am PST so yeah. There are however a metric crap-ton of people gaming the system with multiple email addresses, I guess that's what we get for following the rules as initially laid out rather than doing the same. I really do love how y'all went ahead with the change after 65% of the user base said not to. Pretty obvious this won't be happening, and I'm like 0 for 104 Shuffles so new Gaming Laptop it is I guess.
