Stop being so negative. The chip suppliers said all along that demand would outpace supply into Q2 2021.

Realistically, anyone signing up after early January isn't likely to get a card this year through the queue.  I'm about ready to take a vacation in a hotel next to a microcenter, myself.

Stop being so negative. The chip suppliers said all along that demand would outpace supply into Q2 2021. If we get into July and the 3897 queue is still stuck in October, get back to me then.
 
 

It's not negative to be realistic.  Anyone signing up in February is unlikely to get a card by Christmas.  And who said anything about a specific model.  Fact is, they are all going slow in the queue.  If everyone who signed up more than 8 weeks after launch of any SKU (except, MAYBE, the Kingpin) gets a notify by July, get back to me then.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Your statements are not consistent either. You are assuming that supply and demand will stay static which is faulty logic. You need to consider the following...
 
1) A lot of people have already gotten a card. You're acting as if they will get right back in line as soon as they get their first card they ordered. Supply will catch up with demand. 3070/3090 queues are picking up speed. 3080 is still slow for a number of reasons, mostly because it was the first card that launched that doesn't cost 4 figures, so everyone piled on.
2) Queues are front loaded for the most part. Once those bottlenecks are cleared the time stamps will begin to fall a lot faster. Weeks at a time instead of hours, minutes and seconds.

Yeah the queue seems to be moving slower than it was before. I think anyone with like a mid october date probably won't see their card this year.

I agree that things will eventually get better. But, it may take a while. This will fundamentally be tied to whenever Nvidia can order a larger allocation of dies, and whenever new fabrication plants open and go online. I would bet on the former happening first, but neither of these are likely before the end of this year. We are likely to see the semiconductor shortage continue at least through 2021.
I still think this queue is a great bet for securing a card. People who came in at the beginning of 2021 are still going to get a card, but obviously the when of it depends on the SKU. No harm in signing up, but I would still keep my eyes open for other avenues to get a card (at or around MSRP, of course) if you have a long time to wait or desperately need one.

It's not so much about when your date is as much as what your date is relative to when a queue opened and how fluid that queue moves.  There are November, December, and February dates moving depending on the card.  I think what may be happening this week is finally the lag effect of the lunar new year shutdown.  Some people thought it would be an immediate effect, but with overseas shipping and AIB build times, it seemed more likely to me that the impact would be 4-6 weeks later.  And here we are, a Tuesday of straggler drops.  It'll feel like it gets better quicker in a week or two.  It may still be a long time depending on your queue specifics.

I kinda laugh when people talk about straggler drops on this forum ....... they are all straggler drops. I'm waiting for a 3080 of any kind and seeing week after week of little to no movement is pretty painful. I live in Canada so the new egg shuffle is not a thing here sooooo the wait ensues. I really never thought it would take this long.

Yes, the queue is a great backup tool.  At this point though, anyone late into it is BEST served to attempt every avenue to get the card sooner, including Microcenter, Best Buy, Newegg, etc.
The pandemic isn't going away anytime soon, scalpers aren't going away, miners aren't going away, and demand isn't going to diminish in the foreseeable future.  

Fact is, I will probably get my 3080 card within a couple of months, so I can afford to wait.  I already have a 3060 to put into my new build, which will go in my daughter's PC once I get the better card.

But frankly, anyone claiming that "you don't know what you're talking about" - while simultaneously pretending they know better - is substituting hope for observation.  It's my fault I guess for not just blocking people who are so combative.

Looks like we will have to wait till tomorrow for the huge 3898 drop
