While I am also sitting here suffering patiently like many of you, I have to say, it’s nice to see all of the support and comraderie. At least we’re all waiting eternally for cards together <3

One thing just occurred to me. The docks were likely closed for two weeks at the end / start of the year. This would lead to a bit of a bottleneck right now for evga getting the cards as they are stuck in the port.
 
I'm more worried now about Golden Week. There may be three weeks at the beginning of March with nothing.

I doubt EVGA has much inventory or we would have seen cards appearing either here or in EVGA retailers. I don't see any cards anywhere.
 
I keep hoping production is ramping up and EGVA will start receiving large shipments by ship, which takes longer but is less expensive than air freight.
 
The demand cannot be all that large since relatively few people buy GPUs nearly as powerful and expensive as the cheapest RTX 3060 TI. (Most people with computers don't even have discrete graphics cards.) So, the supply has to be very low and even a relatively modest increase in supply should have a major effect on satisfying demand.
I don't have any inside information but I suspect that the main problem is a shortage of the GPU chips Samsung is fabricating for Nvidia, since a shortage of anything else would be more likely manifested as a shortage of particular makes or models of cards. Instead, whatever the problem is seems to be affecting ALL RTX 3000 series cards. I've been looking on the websites of all the major retailers and no-one seems to have any of the cards in stock or even available for pre-order.

I think you are underestimating the number of people who game on PC.  There are 5 million members on pcmasterrace and that place is toxic as hell.  The demand is there, people aren't spending their normal "fun" budget doing normal activities, I don't think $500 is breaking many banks. 
 
To your point, while the demand is real, the shortages are just as real.  The AIBs have people in line dying to give them $400-2000+, they would be crazy to not do everything possible to try to meet that demand.  There are multiple places out there dedicated to scanning retailers for "drops", and any stock is gone within seconds.

I was just wondering why the "3090 XC3 Ultra Hybrid 3978 12/08/2020 10:54:44" queue has so few people listed in the spreadsheet. I'm have 250+ people ahead of me for both the 3080 hybrids, but less than 20 ahead of me for the 3090 XC3 Hybrid. Does this mean I have a chance to get a card in the not too distant future? *holds breath*

There are 1,100 people signed up for notifications on just the first day alone. A couple hundred have gone through. To quote Elton John, I think it's gonna be a long, long time. I'm #1740 on the list LOLOLOL but at least I have a 1660 that will absolutely hold me over!
