The GPU shortage/botarmy situation is so frustrating. Thank God, EVGA implemented this excellent system to ensure their customer base can get the cards they desire. I will wait my turn joyful and satisfied knowing that EVGA is a company that didn't take the easy bot money, but instead rose to the occasion to protect their brand image. For this I will remain a loyal customer. Still rocking my 980 TI Hybrid, but can't wait to get my email for a 30 series EVGA master-GPU.

I continue to maintain that the EVGA queue system is the worst gpu distribution and sales system...except for all of the others.  
 
This is the queue; this is the way.  (Apologies to The Mandalorian.)

This Is The Way. *puts on helmet*
 

Got a 3080 FE today through BB!  Forced me to have it shipped instead of local pickup.  Whatever.  Once I have that card in hand I'll be removing myself from the queue.  Really wanted the FTW3 but my number is months away.  I'm satisfied with the FE.  Stay the course, it can be done.
 
My tips to folks trying to buy through BB:
Once you hit Add to Cart and it turns to please wait, do not refresh.  You'll either get the yellow add to cart button or you won't, but my experience is that if you refresh you'll get sent to the back of the line and that's when you ultimately don't get a card even if you get to checkout.  For me, it took like two minutes of waiting but once I added to cart, other than it rejecting local pickup and forcing shipping, I got it bought.  Also, I used Paypal checkout, not sure if that helped, but I've seen similar comments about using paypal or apple pay rather than using BB's flooded servers to process the payment.
 
Good luck to everyone!

Twice today, had it in my cart, could not get it.

Same. Sad thing is I thought about writing a bot to get me one. I actually started to. And I finished it. But I'm like why the f do I have to do this to get one graphics card?

Any road map for today?

Guess I should go back to using street merchant or paying attention to the various discord channels. I thought this card would drop sooner so I wouldn't have to waste more time on this nonsense but here we are.....

Youd think being few mins away is good but theres probably 100+ people in front if not more.

We can only hope for actual drops next week

That's always what's happened to me previously when I had refreshed during the please wait phase.  I would get it in my cart but could never complete.

I got a 3080 FE in my cart, but it wouldn't let me ship it or pick a place to pick it up from.... then it dumped it from the cart.

Hey Smalls.... You want a S'more??

Next to mint chocolate ice cream pie, it is one of my favorites.  I wouldn't turn it down.

Welp f5 didn't work for me today, back to the wall.

Same, would feel better if the XC3 3080 were moving in the EVGA que.  Closest of mine is the 3885, but still more than 20 hours away.

Twice today, had it in my cart, could not get it.

Had a FE in my cart
paypal confrimed
shipping address and speed confirmed
billing address confirmed
last button to click "check out" and...

"sorry this item sold out while in your cart..."

thats like someone putting their credit card in the reader as you're checking out.   At least this time I got past the "no stores in 250 miles" nonsense.  I'm also reading on discords people are starting to get order canceled emails for the 3080 FE.

Queue not perfect or fast but when the alternative is the above or some stupid NE lottery for combos so they can jack up the price well..
