I was thinking: not saying it will happen but can you imagine how wrong it would be if we start seeing some serious increase in queue movement shortly after April 16th?
 
EVGA would lose my business forever if that happens that's for sure.
 
Again not saying it will happen, but it's just in the back of my mind constantly considering the age we live in and how greedy and wrong most of the companies are nowadays, trying to milk their customers down to the last pennies as much as possible...

That is next level evil, for a company to willing grandfather in queue prices, only to give the illusion of caring about the customer.  It is not impossible, but I refuse to believe EVGA would implement a queue system, grandfather prices, and only hike their prices $70 per card in one big elaborate scheme to garner gamers' favor.  If this was the case, I would have to put them well past the other AIBs, who consistently, blatantly, and unapologetically bend the consumer over to profit at all costs. 

I hope you guys are right then. I've seen the greedy, evil, scammy practices of plenty of companies like EA, Ubisoft, MSI, etc and it seems that it keeps spreading more and more with the years. It's not uncommon anymore for a companies to turn around and just care about profits no matter the cost to their reputation.
 
Let's hope EVGA will not join the ranks too eventually, although it wouldn't surprise me quite frankly considering the trends for the past couple of years.

Question about the queue here. I missed the drop on one of my cards Friday because I wasn't expecting it. Based on the linked document, the queue for that card was still very early on 11/6 where as my notify was created 11/7. As if yesterday the document still shows queue times as being 11/6 for the 3070 XC3 so I was very surprised (and frankly, angry) to see that my notify had apparently come and went on Friday while I had a very busy day if work at school before leaving for spring break. Completely missed my 8hr window. I do have a 2nd notify for the FTW3 but I was really hoping to get both to update my son's PC as well.

Is it typical to see the document be several days out of sync like that?

The card is a good few days beyond its original launch date. The queue will move faster now. I would get in touch with EVGA by responding the email/call to see if you can get it.

The spreadsheets are inaccurate a plurality of the time.  


If you auto-notifies indicate that you should have received an Invite to Purchase email (or you did receive an email) but missed the eight hour window, you can try to rehabilitate your queue position by doing the following:
 
(1) reply to the email (it should have come from ordernotify@evga.com) (or if you cannot find the email, send a fresh email to that address) and indicate your desire to purchase the card.
(2) call EVGA customer service during their working hours (9 am to 6 pm Weekdays (excluding EVGA holidays)): 1.888.881.EVGA (3842)
(3) they should be able to locate your original registration, confirm that the queue has reached your registration and reissue you a new email with a new link to purchase your card.  It might take a day or so for them to confirm on-hand inventory and issue the replacement email.  
 
Please be vigilant about checking your in-box, whitelist ordernotify@evga.com with your preferred email client, and do not panic about the 8 hour window.  EVGA will get you sorted.  
 
Best of luck!

If EVGA wanted to charge you "new" pricing for the queue cards, they'd just charge you the new pricing right now.  What are you going to do, go join MSI's queue?  They wouldn't nefariously hold back stock until April and hope you don't find another card before that.  Slap another $100 on that puppy, push it out the door and know that, even if you passed on it, someone's going to buy it the moment it's on the market.
 
There is literally no benefit to them conspiring to hold back stock until the April price increase.

Exactly... and there is a cost to holding onto inventory for months, likely more than the $70 "extra" they will make April 16th. 

Good morning. If EVGA is going to drop anything substantial this week, today should be the day for it. 
 
If you are on the bubble, check your inboxes and good luck. 
 
If you are not on the bubble, hopefully today gets you ever closer to the suds.
 
Regardless, please make sure that you have whitelisted ordernotify@evga.com...a bunch of folks have recently had their invite to purchase emails go directly to the circular file....  
 
Have a great day (hopefully away from the keyboard).

Can you please share the latest info on the hydro coppers... I know they started shipping out to the original-short list of notifyees recently, but any info (even the best guesstimate if that's all we have) in regards to opening up notify list again for the Hydro Coppers etc?
 
Thanks,

The current queue is made up from folks who got in during that approximately 25 minute window.  When EVGA begins to service that last of that tranche/cohort, they should turn on the "auto-notify" button again to obtain additional registrations for a "tranche 2".  They had a similar process for the Hybrids and for the Kingpin.  I would continue to monitor this thread and this Twitter  account: https://twitter.com/EVGA_JacobF?s=20. 
 
Given that the current queue is limited to just those from that ~25 minute window, you are not as far back in this queue as you would be in any other queue that has had its auto-notify button lit this whole time. If that is any consolation....
 
Best of luck!

Really hoping to get my notification soon.

I will then simply tweet "Say it ain't so" to Jacob, and leave EVGA forever.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Looks like they have a time zone converter on the page now... So the start time is right "1:00 PM", its just E.T, not P.T...

They have a countdown to the join window, then a countdown for the join window.  Don't ask me why.

Ok I'm all mixed up now lol! We changed time here Sunday, 1 hour forward. Do the drops still happen at 12:00 EST same as before on the EVGA website?

yes

Bigdub8427
24G-P5-3978-KR. Any idea when these will start dropping

These have been regularly dropping and has probably moved the second most time if not the most.

Even if that happen it may just be when supply increases. Either way if you wouldn't pay $70 more vs $500-2000 more on ebay then I'm sure what to say to you. $70 higher to adjust for tariffs is still way cheaper then other other options. who cares. 

This is why Tariffs do not work, Unless We can produce whatever the product is in the USA the customer just pays the additional and the manufacturer of any said tariff imposed product still makes the same profit.
The customer is the only one that loses
