I have a new build waiting on just the video card.  I can use my old 1080 while I wait, but I'd rather have that shiny new RTX in my hands.  As much as I'd like to finish my build, I refuse to pay scalper prices...it encourages what I consider to be bad behavior.  I'm not desperate, and some days I do get tempted, but I can't bring myself to do it.  So I continue to check my notifies and hope beyond hope that a decent amount of cards will come in and move these queues substantially forward.  I do check NewEgg, BestBuy, and Amazon daily, but I don't spend too much time doing the refresh madness.  Some day it will happen and I won't have paid 100%, 200%, 300% markups.

Sounds like you are doing right (in my opinion).  My only difference is that I don't have a back-up 1080...so my computer choices at home are limited to a 3 year old Alienware laptop.  Rocket League in 45 FPS is my jam, man!

Hello all.

Any ideas of what is going on with the queue? is moving?
I'm since 10/7/2020 6:11:09 AM waiting for it. (Geforce 3080)

Regards.

 
Most of the queues are moving, but some faster than others.  Some queues haven't moved at all.  If you go back through the last two or so pages of this thread, you will see a summary table that describes where each card's queue currently resides.  Best of luck!
 
 
I am (not-so-patiently) waiting for my 30 series.  This thread has helped ease the wait and for that, I thank all of you new and OGs.  Let's keep the faith; we will get our gaming goodness.  I trust the queue; "This is the way."

Assuming the 3090 FTW3 Ultra moves the way it moved last week, I should get my notification some time this week.

Just watch. This week will see that queue barely budge, knowing my luck.  I've waited this long to buy one.  I can wait a little longer.

Any notifies sent out yet for the 3090 FTW3 ultra?

You're losing time if you're spending hours a day on several sites trying to find a card available.

This is correct.
 

No this is not ''correct''. Tell that to the 2 people I know so far who were able to get a 3080 and 3090 on Newegg last week during a drop.
 
People are doing that they have better chances of getting a card then people sitting on their bottoms and bitc**ing about the current situation. Instead of actually trying to get one.
 
Hell even me, while I work, I have the 3080 page of Newegg up that keeps auto-refreshing every 5 seconds for the past 3 weeks trying my luck too. While I am also in the queue for the EVGA one. Whichever happens first!

Firstly anecdotes don't really hold up well to the general trend - and secondly - if you're refreshing websites while at work you're then wasting your company's time instead of your own (assuming you're not self employed)

The way your logic works in the current situation makes no sense to me but I respect your opinion.

Your company doesn't pay you to refresh newegg (most likely) - if you spend time refreshing newegg while you're getting paid to do work then you're wasting your employer's time and by extension money - unless you're self employed then by all means spend your time as you see fit.

I was lucky in that I still had my old computer sitting around.  I typically pass it on to someone who wants to tinker, but in this case I needed to keep using the video card.  I've also been surprised at other parts that have been difficult/slow to get.  Low-end stuff is fairly easy to find, but the higher-end parts come and go pretty quickly.  Even simple things like extra case fans, pci-e extension cables, power supplies, etc. were constantly out of stock (except at scalper prices).  I was finally able to get those parts without paying over MSRP, but still waiting for the video card.

My backup GPU was an 8800GTS until like last year when I realized I probably needed another one  Thankfully hadnt had to use it for quite some time!

Whos got an associate code for me to use and how much does it save me?

 
It saves you 5% on the GPUs, check peoples signatures.

 
 
My wait is over fore notify and now my wait for my card to arrive begins.
 
I just successfully placed the order for my 3090-ftw3.
 
- I am removing notifies for all other cards now.
 
- I am still in step up for a 3080 FTW3 which will go in my second build...
 
- Tax and shipping were painful.. but I am overjoyed to have paid less then 2k.. and at list for a premium GPU.
 
Thank you evga!!!  Thank you all for the help and advice.

Hell even me, while I work, I have the 3080 page of Newegg up on my second screen that keeps auto-refreshing every 5 seconds for the past 3 weeks trying my luck too. While I am also in the queue for the EVGA one. Whichever happens first! Actually saw when the drops happened (but was unfortunately too slow both times).

Let's say 5% -8% of potential buyers have card, 2 month after "launch day"
So 90% wasting their time hanging out in front of the stores waiting for drop (dog poop size) or sitting in chairs revisiting retailer websites and f5-ing poor keyboards.
If you have a full time job, you would know what I am talking about. 
Sheep mentality accepts micro facts and title them as macro, which produce illusion based on wrong facts. 
 
Meanwhile scalper retailers announcing (fake) ETA volume - 432 cards in 3 days.
