There's a shortage on GPU dies that has been going on for months because of COVID & other issues, and there was/is (not sure if it's still going on) a shortage on the chiplets they use for vRAM as well, which is why AMD cards are also in short supply, they were compounded by supply being siphoned by consoles on top of that chiplet shortage.
As I went over a few pages back, NVidia really showed their lack of foresight & logic with this launch given how demand was on the 20-series launch, and the fact that these 30-series cards they knew FULL WELL would be in super-high demand because the 3080 ate the 2080 for breakfast, yet they still thought "oh this puny supply will be fine" in an economy & global situation where PC parts are in the highest demand ever seen.
Utter incompetence at the highest level.
You really cannot blame eVGA for this very much at all, and at least they tried to make the best of a garbage situation by implementing the queue system.
That's exactly why I said before that they really badly messed up on this one. Every forum in the world was overloaded with posts about this series dropping. Not just for weeks or even a few months, but for far longer. So they've had a huge amount of time to prep for this. But not only did they screw everybody on the supply, but somebody should have had the tiniest bit of for-site to know that bots/scalpers were going to hammer the system BECAUSE of the talk going on. Before release they should have locked the system to one card purchases and even though it wouldn't have stopped them all, it would at least have given the rest of us a chance. Hell, I couldn't push the button fast enough. As soon as it released there was nothing to buy. There were a few who got lucky, but I wasn't one of them. The irony? My wife for sh*ts and giggles hammered the button and we ended up actually getting a PS5. We don't even console game, she just wanted to see if she'd get lucky in between the bots/scalpers because we had talked before and knew it was going to be just like everything else.

But they aren’t charging for the tariffs until April. Meaning a few of you will see the so-called discount. $800 for a 3080, tax, and shipping is closing in on $1000. NewEgg combos must be close to $11-1200 now. I thought $1500 for a 3090 FE was crazy. Now it’s looking sane. I still have my 3070 as a backup.

There have been many weekdays when there were no drops, Monday included. I have seen a few leftover drops on a Monday that were held over from the end of the previous week, but if my memory serves me correctly Monday has not been one of the more active days.

Hello, this is my first post and might be controversial. I'm not sure if this has already been discussed before. I just noticed that the EVGA 3060 Ti FTW3 graphics card from Best Buy (08G-P5-3667-KB) is made in Taiwan, so I'm not sure if the justification for the price increase due to Tariffs is justifiable in EVGA or specifically the 3060 Ti FTW3's case. Also, found this on ebay that I found to be "interesting"...

I agree. While the EVGA announcement about pricing was awesome news, I really have to wonder what the heck is going on with the production of these cards? Where are they all going??!! Direct to scalpers? Miners? It's crazy because even though I'm not sitting here hitting "F5" all day, it doesn't seem like any of the retail outlets (e.g., BB, NE, Amazon, etc.) are getting any stock, either. I thought for sure things would improve after the Holidays. Is there a bigger issue at hand? In all my many years building PCs, I've never seen anything like this. Crazy. And sad. 
Huge numbers dropped last week online at BB, Newegg, and amazon easily 5-10k rtx 3000 series cards maybe more. They were in stock for 25-30 minutes on the 5th. Most were EVGA 3090 and 3080 FTW ultra's and 3080 FE's but there were other brands too. I know lots of people that got cards that morning including myself. Bottom line is way more are going to vendors in one week than has ever gone to the queue total in 4 months. My advice, use pcbuildhelper , be logged into accounts setup preferably with apple pay on apps on your phone to BB, Newegg, and Amazon. BB drops are mostly 10-noon EST week days, Newegg is mostly 8PM weeknights.

my fellow 3881ers... I weep with you. Our day will come. When we are old and gray, and our queues pop... we shall tell our grandchildren of the momentous occasion, and force them to drop the cards off at the nursing home so that we can finally play GTA 6

This is the first day in months when we didn't have any cards report...even stragglers. But, yes, you are correct...Mondays and Fridays are usually the lightest days of the week.

@djcarr1: Thanks for the advice! I have been casually checking other sources, and will do as you suggest. My primary focus has been to get a card from the queue as it is more of a 'guarantee' than just trying to beat everyone else at retail. Any your are quite correct, though, there were a lot of cards just after New Year, now that I think about it. That being said, the well does seem to have dried up a bit since then, no? All I've seen on Amazon are "pre-orders," and even BB doesn't seem to have cards very often. Maybe it's just too much anticipation as the queue has been taking what seems like f-o-r-e-v-e-r. LOL. Make no doubt about it, I really appreciate all that EVGA is doing, but man, this 'extreme' waiting is a killer. Anyway, thanks for the positive suggestion!

I thought I would share this story in case it might help someone. My card supposedly shipped out on 1/6/2021. I say that because UPS wasn't showing it scanned into their system. I called EVGA on Friday, 1/8, and told me that it happens sometimes that shipments don't get scanned until it gets to the local area. I was skeptical, but I accepted it and figured I would have to call back on the expected day of delivery, 1/12. Well, today (1/11), sure enough, the package got scanned in the local area and should be delivered on time, tomorrow.
So.... if you order a card and it doesn't get a UPS scan, be patient. EVGA shipped it, but UPS doesn't always scan all the packages when they are picked up.
I hope that helps someone.

It's likely that the price increase is across the board so that between all the card sales its accounted for, so by having the price increase on that card they might be able to have the price increase on other cards be a bit last drastic. Just my guess

two more hours for my number to come up (3080 FTW3 ULTRA).
With my luck they will announce 3080 Ti as soon as I receive my card.

Honestly crazy how they made I guess two batches of this thing (based on the two big drops back in November) and then not a single one since. Just cancel the damn SKU.

How long do you guys think till evga completes all the current queues we have right now? My guess is about 2 years or so. And on another note I had a idea not sure if others have had but I was thinking why doesn't evga send emails out to everyone that hit the notify button with something like "if your are still interested in purchasing this card then please click on the button below to keep your current spot on the queue, you have 24 hours to respond". Then get rid of thousands of people who didn't respond due to they already got one or don't want one anymore. That way we wont get more stragglers. And the queue would move so much much faster. Idk just an idea.

Same as you, so close it's driving me nuts. But that's the irony isn't it? I saw your tag and most of them were 9/18, mine was 9/18 @ 3am. Of course since my system is liquid cooled I had already ordered the EK waterblock for a 3881 ahead of time, not knowing that this snafu was going to go as sideways as it did. So the waterblock came and I'm pretty much stuck because of the money already dropped on it. At the mercy of waiting for possibly another 6 months because I can't change cards at this point. So much for planning ahead lol Considering there hasn't been any real movement in awhile it'll definitely be an angry wait time.

So angry right now. Just realized that I'm pretty sure EK hosed me. I contacted EK and asked what waterblock I would need for the 3881. This all happened BEFORE they released anything (I was trying to plan ahead and pre-order). So, I ordered the waterblock that they said would work for the XC3 Black Gaming GPU. So here I am tonight, surfing around their website and just realized that the waterblock I pre-ordered...sitting new on my shelf, is apparently the wrong one. When I looked at the compatibility chart, EVGA isn't even listed. So not only am I getting burned on the GPU, but now on the waterblock. It's not like I'm stupid. Planned ahead, contacted people at the company and confirmed multiple times BEFORE pre-ordering the block. Sat back and waited for it to come in and set it on the shelf to wait for the card. It's ultimately useless for any EVGA cards and this is the only queue I'm in. It's funny, spent 20+ years as a ME/Prototype fabricator in the automotive world designing/building and testing powertrains, etc. for over 1500 different companies and 3 military. Managed multi million dollar projects down to the last penny/hour and delivery. I put my faith in two companies that should have the same quality control and customer ideals in mind only to be let down by both. Trying to have faith since I know it's not entirely EVGA's fault. The whole network was messed up on this one. Most of the companies were caught sideways just as much as we were. But damn it's frustrating.

Never, they'll cancel the queues when the 3080/3070 are discontinued, which will happen a bit after the Supers/Ti's whatever come out. Think of how the 2070 pretty much disappeared after the 2070 Super/2080 Super & higher end 2060 came out. In this case, the 3090 is the apex card, the 3080 and 3070 are the high & mid range, so they'll be phased out, most likely, with a 3070 Ti/Super slotting in in between the two price wise, a 3080 Ti/Super slightly higher in price than the 3080, and maybe a 3060-whatever being placed above the 3060 Ti to totally nullify the 3070. They have to do something to that effect, as they did last time, to avoid overly diluting their own brand with too many SKUs & too many SKUs for too little supply. I honestly believe that people that got in to the queue any later than maybe November, for the 3080 or 3070, will never get a card from the queue system because they'll be discontinued before supply ever catches up, because supply, I believe, is going to continue to be garbage until after the 3080 Ti/Super and 3070 Ti/Super hit the market. Edit: Missed the email part, I responded to a similar question before with this basically: That would be pointless, in essence; People in queue that don't end up buying the card only delay it going to the next person by a day, it's not a big deal, and the amount of person-hours required to do up that system & setup processing the responses etc isn't worth the hassle, given how the queue works at present.

Ok, that is absolutely the LAST time I joke about this being Infrastructure Week for our rigs. Zero drops; Zero. I don't think this has happened in months...not even a single straggler card.
Tuesdays and Thursdays have historically been the bigger drop days, so let's dust ourselves off and get ready for tomorrow.
As of 5:00 pm PT Monday evening, January 11, this is the status of the North American queues:

Hello, this is my first post and might be controversial. I'm not sure if this has already been discussed before. I just noticed that the EVGA 3060 Ti FTW3 graphics card from Best Buy (08G-P5-3667-KB) is made in Taiwan, so I'm not sure if the justification for the price increase due to Tariffs is justifiable in EVGA or specifically the 3060 Ti FTW3's case.
Also, found this on ebay that I found to be "interesting"...
It's likely that the price increase is across the board so that between all the card sales its accounted for, so by having the price increase on that card they might be able to have the price increase on other cards be a bit last drastic. Just my guess
You make a good point. With that said, I am sure there is a lot more to it. How long has EVGA been manufacturing in Taiwan? Did they make the change on the threat of the tariffs going into affect? If they did, there is a cost to make that change that they have taken on themselves up until now. On top of that, there are increases in transportation and material that are well documented. Lastly, their price increases were much smaller than the rest of the market. None of us like it, but it would be a poor business decision to not follow the other GPU manufacturers with a price increase. I am very thankful that their price increase was as small as it was.

I agree. While the EVGA announcement about pricing was awesome news, I really have to wonder what the heck is going on with the production of these cards? Where are they all going??!! Direct to scalpers? Miners? It's crazy because even though I'm not sitting here hitting "F5" all day, it doesn't seem like any of the retail outlets (e.g., BB, NE, Amazon, etc.) are getting any stock, either. I thought for sure things would improve after the Holidays. Is there a bigger issue at hand? In all my many years building PCs, I've never seen anything like this. Crazy. And sad.
Huge numbers dropped last week online at BB, Newegg, and amazon easily 5-10k rtx 3000 series cards maybe more. They were in stock for 25-30 minutes on the 5th. Most were EVGA 3090 and 3080 FTW ultra's and 3080 FE's but there were other brands too. I know lots of people that got cards that morning including myself. Bottom line is way more are going to vendors in one week than has ever gone to the queue total in 4 months.
My advice, use pcbuildhelper , be logged into accounts setup preferably with apple pay on apps on your phone to BB, Newegg, and Amazon. BB drops are mostly 10-noon EST week days, Newegg is mostly 8PM weeknights.
25-30 minutes is a long time. It's too bad that nobody said anything here. I heard about it, but not until hours later. EVGA is getting the same allotment as the other retailers. The downside is that the other retailers outnumber EVGA so they get more cards. The upside, if you are in the market for one, is that ALL of the hybrids, HC's, and kingpins are going to EVGA as part of their allotment. It means they get fewer air cooled units because some of them are being converted, but there is no other way to get one of those cards with a warranty attached. So we wait. Those of you who are light years away in the queue and are fine with an air cooled card should heed this advice. Get one through a different retailer. If you know approximately when they drop you should be able to get one before too long, especially if they are in stock for a few minutes before they sell out.

So basically they can jerk the queues around even longer to make more money on a product they should have delivered correctly months ago. Like I said before, when you have almost the entire market, you can do whatever you want and nobody can stop you. If they really wanted to do right by their consumers, they would honor EVERYONE who is on the queue because they technically should have been able to purchase a card at msrp when they were introduced. The company dropped the ball and not only is everybody stuck waiting, now they have to pay more.
I respectfully disagree.. If anything Nvidia should of delayed release. This is not EVGAs fault... I deal with global enterprise in my job at times and so many things are backed up and delayed that come to the USA/UK. EVGA is doing what they can and are doing a great job of it. They also have contracts with retailers that they must uphold, which is why drops here can be minimal at times.
I agree with Cavell. What local businesses are getting in are low quantities. EVGA is spreading themselves thin by having a queue system and honoring their promises to companies. I think EVGA should be commended on their job of helping consumers out with this queue system. No other company is doing this.

Agree, EVGA is being consumer friendly. Its slow and somewhat frustrating but I am still thankful!

_7ucky_ On top of that, honoring the MSRP price for those who queued before today's day up until April is a big deal.
They're not honoring everyone that signed up through the date that was posted. Anyone still in queue after the April date will have to pay the higher prices, no matter when you joined queue. Yes, I am aware why, and that it's not exclusive to EVGA or GPU's as well. As one that joined 10/06 for the FTW Ultra 3080, it's still some B.S., IMO. Wait half a year in a queue, and then still have to pay higher prices for the product due to *everybody* involved dropping the ball in some way, yeah... Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate the queue system EVGA has put in place to attempt to handle people getting cards. While I'm able to lurk the thread while at work at times to see if there's any sort of movement at all I don't have the time to keep a bunch of retailer sites open and refreshing hoping for a drop of whatever brand 3080, but it seems as far as distribution of units go that we are the low priority. Yeah, partner deals with newegg and all... Guess I'll just jump on the 3080ti/super (whatever they'll call them) with double the VRAM when those are announced as it seems I'll still be waiting for the OG 3080, and the new expensive GPU SKUs get priority when they're live. /not really trying to come off as negative, just frustrated with the whole thing
