Why is EVGA still selling cards to evil Amazon?  Cause bots are always getting Amazon.
 
The Q and BB still are the best chances to get an EVGA card.

I anticipate a day of mostly stragglers from yesterday's drops...which were not insignificant (relatively speaking; there is an argument that they've all been insignificant, but I will leave that discussion for the more salty among us). 
 
In other news...via Twitter, JacobF indicated that there should be an announcement this week about relighting the HC auto-notify buttons for the 3080s and 3090s (KPE HC news is pushed to April (at the earliest)). This is good news and I interpret it to mean that an additional HC drop will be coming on or before the day the auto-notify button is relit.  Although he didn't say it, this may pertain only to the FTW3 versions...not sure.  
 
Best of luck today.  Go get your gaming goodness!

May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
 
Best of luck!

A bigger question is why is nvidia or buyers letting Amazon get away with bots buying them then relisting them at 2x-3x markup?

Because they've already been paid at that point.

Is there a way to see what your placement is on the waiting list along with an approximate date of notification. just registered for the GTX 3070 gaming card today and was wondering when i might be able to get it.

Nothing official...nor, in my opinion, accurate.  The Kingpin self-reported list is probably the most accurate (because that queue is limited to EVGA Elite members, many of whom frequent these forums).  The more mainstream skus...in my opinion...the best thing you can do is track the timeline of the queue..."they aren't making any more days, hours, minutes or seconds...." 
 
Best of luck on your watch!

There is no official way to see your spot on the list and a rough estimate for the 3070 gaming is 6 months or more. The gaming card doesn't move much so i recommend going for one of the 3070 ultra cards if you want to see it sooner.

Just wanted to step in and thank enewt for the enormous amount of work that goes into this along with everyone self reporting. I stupidly passed up my opportunity to buy my 3090 FTW3 Ultra in November... if I had any idea cards would still be this hard to come by I would have bought it. Now just waiting for -any- queue to come up :(

Thank you for your response. I would like to try and participate in the tracking system you mentioned but i was also wondering how to read the list you posted earlier. some people mentioned the card i was looking at hasnt really moved more than a day and im a little confused on that.

They are prioritizing higher margin cards. Probably for multiple reasons including honoring their prices through april 16th, retail requirements, and binning. 

roger thanks for explaining that portion

which 3070 card is moving at a decent pace not that i mind waiting for the cheapest one lol

Anyone got any notifies yet today?

Still a bit early so I wouldn't be surprised if there are none yet.

The more I think about it the more I wonder if it's really worth it for a 3080TI to come out... There isn't much room for improvement between a 3080 and 3090, no matter if it's power-wise or vRAM-wise or anything else... 

Yes, you'll be getting a 3090 minus the extra vram and nvlink so you could think of it as a gamer's version of the 3090 at few hundred less.

 

3070 XC3 Ultra 3755 is the furthest ahead in notifies.
3070 FTW3 Ultra 3767 is the next.

 
thx for 30 more the xc3 isnt that much more to spend

You queued for SKU 3753 (3070 XC3 Gaming)?  It has barely moved and, unfortunately, it is not a queue that has received regular drops.
 
The timestamp column indicates the most recent registration date/time to reportedly receive an "invite to purchase" email. The parenthetical indicates how much movement was made between the current report and the prior weekday morning's report.  For your 3753 SKU, the most recent person to receive an invite to purchase email for that SKU registered for it on October 29 around 6:20 am.  So more than 4.5 months ahead of your registration from the last day or so.  Bottom line, you have an extended wait ahead of you. 
 
I am sorry I don't have better news. 




NP its better to get the info that way i know how long a wait to expect. what does SKU stand for on your listing

The card model's part number.  Each card model has a unique four digit number.

Poor man models like xc3/xc3 black will not move much. All profits towards ftw3 ultra models. Don’t get mad at evga. Get mad at urself for chasing no margin cards to penny pinch high demand item

The 3080 FTW3 Ultra MSRP is $20 more than the XC3 Ultra ($840 vs $860).  The XC3 Ultra is one of two 3080s in the ENTIRE FE + AIB LINEUP that fit in SFF cases (XC3 is 2.2 slot height, Founders is 2 slot height).  Everything else is 2.5 or above.
 
The XC3 Ultra has one less POSCAP than the FTW3, has a much smaller cooling block, a gimped iCX3 implementation, and a much smaller ARGB area (logo letters only) yet costs nearly as much.  Maybe the margin is smaller, but we don't know that, and if it is it ain't much.
 
It's more like the FTW3 is the more popular card and they said, "well, we aren't getting many chips from NVidia, so let's focus on the one more people want."
 
Sucks for those of us with a SFF case who are 17 stupid minutes away in the XC3 Ultra queue that they stopped moving completely after getting through 2 days.
