This about the fact that 3 sku's were up at 6am... People signed up for those 3 skus... then a few mins later they added a 4th sku that is the "launch edition" and are filling those orders first even though the card is the exact same as we signed up for minutes before. They screwed over probably hundreds of people, maybe more by adding a 4th sku with a special price and gift after 6:00 am and then honoring those first.

That's pretty messed up. I would be pissed. Lots of people probably just clicked on the 3 cards that were there and left.

That's exactly what we did. Sign up for EVGA queue immediately and then try our luck at the roulette wheels at Best Buy, Newegg, etc. There was no reason to think there would be another 4th SKU added later on. EVGA didn't announce anything beforehand.

Even worse, once the SKU did appear, it was not showing as accepting notifications for many people. I saw no notification option for it at 6:05 when I did double back and check EVGA again to make sure I had signed up for every possible notification. I had "auto notify" bubbles available for the other 3 that I had already signed up for, but the stupid launch edition had no option. Just "unavailable."
 
It's frankly unacceptable for EVGA to be honoring those "launch editions" of the same card ahead of people who signed up earlier, especially since they didn't announce the launch edition in the first place. If people had known to expect it the situation would be different.
 
EVGA really soured in my eyes today. Way to blow it, guys.

Okay, last post from me. I'll try to bring some positivity back...
 
Just cancelled all my EVGA notifications, both 3080 and 3070. Removed Distill from Chrome. The hunt is over. 
 
I'm going to keep my 1070 for the foreseeable future. There's nothing wrong it. I can still play most games other than the most demanding at pretty high FPS at 1080p. While my 4K monitor won't be utilized like I wanted, it's fine, won't be any different than how I've been playing games for years now. 
 
I'll be purchasing Watch Dogs Legion momentarily. I'm sure I'll still have plenty fun with the game despite not having a new card. And when Cyberpunk comes out, the same will be true. Maybe I'll even get COD too, who knows. Won't be getting Valhalla for a while as I still need to finish Origin and Odyssey, but those are two more I guess I need to catch up on.
 
To everyone still waiting for a card...I really hope you get one as soon as possible. I blame Nvidia for this historically god awful launch, but I do thank EVGA for making the best attempt at getting cards into the hands of as many people as possible. 
 
No longer am I frustrated or upset...I'm free. Free to play games. My 1070 will still get the job done just fine, and I guess that's what I should be thankful about. If it ever craps out, well then I'll rejoin the hunt, but no need to toss it aside right now. 
 
Time to go...game! Good luck to everyone still waiting! 

 
No more playing "where's Waldo" on the spreadsheet then... :/
 

For some reason, the 3070 Launch Edition SKU has never been available to me. I did manage to get on the XC3 Ultra Gaming SKU early, and also on a XC3 Gaming SKU that doesn't show up anymore.

This right here is probably the healthy thing to do lol

The shirt is nice, but if I am being honest I do miss the posters we used to get with the orders. Had a nice section of wall building there for a while

You're not the only one. The "auto notify" option was never there for me, even during times when others in this thread were able to sign up. The listing itself was screwed up somehow.

The listing for the KL launch SKU was searchable via "all graphics". I found it by just filtering by lowest price and signed up to be notified.

Yep, EVGA lost a customer here. The queue system was great but this launch edition sku was a giant slap in the face. I'm 6:00 am for all 3 sku's only to find out they added another sku with a shirt shortly later and honored those first.

Ugh, that is so not cool...

So no 3090 FTW3 Ultra moving today at all?

Name for that is CHEATING.
 
Still no explanation who and why decided to play so dirty and unrespectable to their customers.

I'm confused. So how is it that something not showing up on your web browser on your computer in your own environment someone else's fault? I'm seriously trying to understand this line of thinking. Did someone from outside your home hack into your computer to stop an image linked to a api call on a specific website on a specific page from working? Come on guys...this is really stretching a bit all because someone might get a GPU a few days before you?

Why silence from EVGA webmaster who knows exactly what happened.

Still don't understand what happened?

Completely understand what happened.  I am rolling my eyes at you and your reactions to it.

Sorry I have a red line for everything.
Just can't be quiet when openly fooled.

Just a quick shoutout to everyone involved in creating and maintaining the EVGA queue system and updating the notification system and the spreadsheet behind the scenes.  Thank you very much for your hard work everyone so we can get one of the new 30 series cards without fighting bots.
 
Your sales and shipping staff must be hopping today with the new 3070 series, hope you all have a great day and everyone gets the card that they're hoping for.  Stay safe and healthy everybody.

I love the positivity and share the sentiment! Well said.
