That 4 days on the 3070 gives me hope I'll at least make it before my EVGA elite coupon expires! Only needs to do that several more times

“Ran for cover”? SMH
I remember the guy you picked a fight with. You misrepresented what he said too. Ok, going back to ignoring the mobile page.

Yes, ran for cover, as in, blocked me because I said something that you don't like. I didn't misrepresent anything. I was responding to a one liner and it's all there for everyone to see.
 
I never picked a fight with anyone. I just called a scalper a scalper, blocked them, and moved on. I didn't beat them over the head about it. In fact, I never said another word about it until now.
 
I can see that you're mad and not interested in having a conversation at this point. For the sake of everyone else here, let's just move on and you can ignore me if it makes you feel better. Seriously though, none of this is worth getting mad about.

I got my notification for an RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING
today! I really had given up on it. I got a pretty good deal on a  used 2070
a little while back so I was resigned to waiting however long it took for the market
to come around. This is a pleasant surprise!
Any opinions on what a good but not exploitation price I should ask for
a Strix 2060? 
Thanks to everyone here who tried to show me the ropes of this site.

check EBay for such cards, make your own mind about the price, post it with good photos and may the odds be in your favor, congratulations on the FTW3 card, welcome to the club :D

zeeesooor
Any news about 3080 ftw3 ultra?

Not really, check the list that enewt maintains: https://docs.google.com/d...AbcxMorvRvEPaPh48/edit

Hi to all, this is my first post so I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong... EU (Italian) user btw.
Anyway, I'm here to say that yesterday I was apparently been able to order a 3060ti xc, subscribed to the notification on 7/12/20 I also have a FTW3 subscription for the same day.
Paid yesterday with PayPal, shout out to evga for having asked the original price I know they made a post on January to say that, but still it's much appreciated.
Order is still "Waiting to process", but I've received through PayPal this morning the shipping code of DHL which is already active despite the package not been shipped, so, I'm here to ask two things:
1) There will be other costs, like customs cost? 22% IVA is already paid...
2) Anyone knows how much it takes to arrive? I'm not in a hurry, just curiosity.
Thanks in advance for your help =)

I tend to lean on information that comes directly from the source. In this case, Nvidia. The rest of it is just noise. I don't care what some blogger named "Darklord", or whoever it was in that link that someone posted, says about chip delays unless they provide some links (they didn't). There is a lot of misinformation out there. A lot of spin, and predictions based on assumptions by people who don't actually have information that nobody else has (even though they claim to). Nvidia said it would be bad until into Q2 2021. Let's see how it goes until then. I expect them to put out another press release between now and the start of summer. If they say it's time to freak out, I'll freak out. Otherwise, I'm going to exercise patience and wait until I hear something from those who are actually making the chips that will be attached to the GPU that I eventually get. 
 
The automobile chip shortage is very real problem in the short term, and I don't think anyone here is going to refute that. Fortunately, it sounds like it's more of a concern for auto manufacturers vs. GPU seekers.

One minute of Google'ing will yield plenty of information from reliable/credible sources:

good morning hopeful shoppers maybe we will have better luck today. Remember that we are here for the same reason of wanting GPU's. Please remember that we all want something that is in extremely high demand and supply to make them has been affected by many different things. Hope that things will get better as more things and places get back to a more normal again. good luck today to all

I mean, it's not as though it's hard to find other sources instead of trying to find reasons to discredit anything that doesn't match your narrative.
 
That said, if you want to have a Pollyanna view of the future on this front, that's fine.  I'd personally warn anyone looking to get a GPU that the queue is not likely to produce results if they got in weeks or months late until the products are openly available on shelves -- and that's not likely to happen until some point next year.  Reality is better than an abundance of optimism that wilts into "OMG EVGA is scamming us because it's been nine months and no GPU!!!"  Certainly no harm in joining the queue but I'd settle in for a long, long wait and keep my options open.

I keep seeing people posting something but it's blank with a big ''APPROVAL PENDING'' button on the post... Why is that? Are those people on a leash or something?
 
Also: anyone knows why we don't see Jacob posting the daily drops anymore? Is he on vacations? Abducted by Aliens? Left EVGA and is now on the Gamestop board?

He's focusing on his burgeoning career as a Twitch super-streamer.

I just need an hour and 10 minutes to get this card, please eVGA!!!!

Interesting article on the GPU shortage:  https://www.pcworld.com/article/3612693/a-perfect-storm-why-graphics-cards-cost-so-much-now.html

The key takeaway for me was the idea of using a cloud gaming service in place of a GPU while waiting for your queue notify.  Testing it on my work computer (just Intel graphics) and it's not too bad.  Definitely need to test it some more today instead of doing actual work.

I suggested this way back in Oct/Nov, also with the joke conspiracy theory that it was a ploy to get GeForce Now off the ground  :p

Someone around you needs one... Like a friends kid or something... pass it on down, I'm sure there's someone with a 950 out there somewhere that would score you infinity karma points if you just handed it over...

It's painful waiting with no GPU, I'm still using my integrated gpu after my zotac gpu got burned 4 weeks ago. And now I'm still waiting the queue and it takes for ever and can't even play anything.
