Good morning everyone!
Who else is ready to see everyone else get a card???

Way past ready lol.

Are y'all able to copy and fork the sheet and go from there?
 
7 hours left, unless UPS arrives out of the darkness at 19:00, as they have done before in the creepiest deliveries I caught on my security cam. No truck, no lights, nothing.. just a UPS emerging from the darkness.

Not without a restore first (we don't have permissions for that), plus I'm meant to be working right now. :x


 

I should be doing so as well, but instead I'm playing the role of RL rocking horse and watching my GPU go down the interstate on it's way to me via UPS Livemap. It's gonna blow past me and then it will sit around for hours at some random house while I assume my UPS driver has a dangerous liaison.. it happens every time. 
 
I swear if someone hits a UPS truck on the interstate I'll be livid. I wonder what happens to my spot if the card is lost in transit... I really don't want to find out.

Well I hope they require a signature being the thing cost over $1800 Good point though. I was thinking more in line with a faulty card and never thought about a lost in transit issue. It's been a while for me but I have had the same thing happen mostly with USPS deliveries. I am not talking even close either. They would deliver my package way on the other side of town

I paid the $4.25 to require a signature, only to find out after that UPS required a signature anyway on shipments over $700. So I'm out $4.25, but it's better to have known it was sig required than not. 

Thanks for the play-by-play. Very excited for you (and envious). Enjoy it.

Sadly, my recommendation would be that we ask the owner to lock the spreadsheet from further edits once it is reconstructed. Like I have said a few times over the many pages of this thread, additional data points are of diminishing value and the sheet already works as an imperfect tool to assess roughly where the front of the queue is for each card at any given moment.

I know, I know. My bad. Just did not expect to see it at 10:40. Even got my chair delivered early. Box arrived in pristine order. 17:15 until 10:40 is totally worth $60. 

Congrats!! Unfortunately unless I get lucky with a 3070, I won't be seeing a 30 series anytime soon. I took some wonky advice that said there was no point in signing up for the notifies at all this time around. I ended up doing it 9/24 for the 3080 ftw3 gaming and ultra at least but I'm definitely way behind

It would be really cool if EVGA handled this for us. You know they have spreadsheets sitting around in the shipping department. Not complaining though because I am grateful they even have this queue. As an application developer I have to write queries all day long so this would be a breeze Anyway I was third in line for the 3090 FTW3 Ultra according to the spreadsheet I saw last night. Should get notified today if any go out

Owner just emailed me and is looking into it. He may enforce Google login to edit, so at least anyone messing around can be identified and blocked easily.

I bet they are worried about legal liability or private data. At least with this spreadsheet, it is people only voluntarily posting their own info.

Maybe.  I think it is just an unnecessary hassle from their perspective.  They've gone through a heavy lift already: shifting to an invite only check-out procedure in the middle of a challenging product launch during a pandemic.  Not easy.  The cards will go out to the invited in the order that they registered for the "auto-notify" (on a card by card queue basis).  If the folks in the queues don't have a clear understanding of when they might be getting an email invite, that is probably "ok" from EVGA's perspective. 
 
And, to be honest, I would prefer that EVGA focus on getting a queue solution to our fellow gamers in EU and around the world.  The North American cohort is uniquely benefitted right now by the queue.  I hope they are focusing on the right priorities.

meh to both of those... all they have to do is put up a "Now Serving #X" on the main page, and give you your number in the "My Notifications" page on your login.  No personal info is shared.  I think earlier people hit the nail on the head, they dont want us to know how many cards are going out per shipment, and dont want us to know how many notifications there were.  

I tend to agree with this view, but would hope that it is more on nvidia trying to keep it hush hush and evga is just doing the best they can.

Things must be pretty bad when a product launched in Sept 2020 may not reach the hands of launch day customers for six months past launch.
 
I have no idea how any of these companies can even do business with that kind of delay.

Did you unregister for the other cards TAO?  :P

Guess who forgot to screen shot their serial number.. ****.. It's not on the box either as I can see. 
 

It's on a sticker on the back of the card.

Yeah the card is installed atm. I found it on the outside shell that goes on the box.

I have to change emails to do so and am not changing my email back to the non +evga until my registration is squared. I won't be buying either card though.

BTW registered my 3090 with your rewards code as it's the first one I saw. So I dunno, check for something from it I guess?

This guy.  

Yeah found it on the sleeve that goes over the box. 

BTW to anyone else that is lucky enough to get a card:
 
Extended Warranty is only $60 for 10 years.
Advanced RMA is only $44 for super duper shipping. You have 90 days to buy the warranty from registration, and 30 days for the Advanced RMA IIRR. Both are well worth it.. as someone with a dead 780, a working 460, 560, and 1080.. you can figure out which had a warranty and which didn't. (stupid NCIX..)
 
$104.99 extra to have no hassles for a decade is sweeeet. 
 
Just a general FYI. RDR2 has finally finished (stupid 90MB/s downloads during the day slow down on gig.. ) so I'm gonna max that and see how it looks.
