Why April 16?

AHHHHHHHHHH EVGA, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DIVERT SOME MORE STOCK TOWARDS THE QUE 

Nothing happens on the weekends but hopefully April will be a good month for drops!

I have a feeling maybe things will flow right after the 16th....

This is honestly one of the most ridiculous takes people have.  Oh, EVGA grandfathered prices until April 16.  So they aren't going to unleash production until after that.  This is silly on two points.  EVGA never had to grandfather in prices, and the other AIBs went plaid on it so much earlier, at much higher price increases.  Do you see MSI, Asus, and others more consistently in stock to the point you can just go buy a card of theirs any old day?  Would it cost more to store parts for four months than sell it if EVGA had a magical stash no other AIB had?  Maybe not, but it's pretty close.  They would have made more by producing and selling everything they have, then buying more parts.  That's just not how this is working out.  I'd rather save a bit of money too, but some of ya'll are like this is going to cost me my kidney with the price increases.  It's just not that.  Tariff politics are at play here, not EVGA being in on skullduggery.

I wish if EVGA at least inform everybody about their queue number, this might ease things up. Every queue system should follow queue numbering.

evga would never release queue numbers because it would start a riot on themselves. Think about it everyone on here wants a card or several of them and even if the numbers were released it is only part of the issue with out knowing the number of cards being released. If you found out that you were #2500 on release day of the card you would expect or demand that you shouldn't have to wait more then a week to order. You would expect that 500 cards a day is a small amount you need to take into account there is what over 24 sku's of cards from evga and there are more cards still coming more cards also keeps slowing things down the more you spread out things the less you are able to get out. As bad as it sounds think of it like putting butter on toast if you have a small amount of butter on the knife it thins out the more you try to spread it. enewt does us a favor with his list he does but even then not everyone posts after they order a card i would say 75% reporting back is high so he doesn't know more then what information he has access too. We all should remember that we all want the cards and they will come maybe not when we want but they will. And Evga did not have to postpone increasing their prices but they did which shows that the made an effort for their customers that other companies did not. They could have on the 1st of this year been like this is now costing us more as a company so the customers need to absorb the extra cost. Just like they didn't need to do the queue system. They made an effort for their customers that other companies did not. And if you really do not like it don't use it or complain about it.

My guess is 10% reporting back is high.  Otherwise, agreed.

For EVGA to release a flood of cards from April16 to April 30 would make them like really nasty.
I simply do not think EVGA is really nasty. So I think the trickledown of very few cards is going to continue the entire year.
 
Some stats on eth mining below:
https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate
 
Highest Avg Hash Rate of 493,933.1209 GH/s was recorded on Saturday, April 3, 2021
 
that would be 4,939,331 evga 3080 3885 gpus.
 
and it would be earning $.111 per mh or
 
4,939,331,209 x .111 = 548,265,764 usd a day
prior to power cost which would be about 32,599,584.600 kwatts or at 20 cent power 6,519,916
 
net daily profit of 542 million.  or 197,830,000,000. yeah 197 billion
 
So. the cards are simply under priced due to ETH mining.
 
It
 
at the moment 200 billion in earnings if there is no crash.
 
seems too high I think it is more like 19.7 billion still a crazy high number.
 
I am not that awake this morning need more coffee.
 
My point is that eth mining pays 11.1 cents an mh or $11.11 a 3080 which makes the 3080 gear for earning money first and gaming gear second.
The GPU companies are able to sell out instantly and since governments are doing nothing about scalpers we will continue to see 1500-2200 dollar 3080's on ebay.  
 
   At 2000 usd for a 3080 if it mines at $11.11 a day and costs 1.11 in power you clear 300 a month. So it 7 months the card cost -100
So the card price of 2000 makes sense even if you game. Since you only game about 6-8 hours a day. So in a year a 2000 dollar card would be free. It is a sad state of affairs that the scalpers slipped into t as they do push price upwards out of the reach of the  I game  and mining is evil people.
 
I can only say if you never mine keep waiting for the crash. BTW the crash will hurt all the gpu companies since there will be a glut of cheap usd gpus on ebay if not this year then next year.
 
The worst case is that mining keeps whaling for 2 or 3 years (it has never done this) If it does I am not sure what happens to gaming purists.

Shouldn't you be spraying your kids or playing with your plants enewt? ;)

Edit: I've accepted that my queue position of 10/06 for the 8975 being reached before april 15th is not going to happen.........oh well

I just can’t quit the thread.

Seriously, on the iPhone or I would have just posted the link. And my daughter is on the ipad playing Minecraft with her crew. About to make some cookies before sitting down for my weekly Zoom-based Advanced D&D play session (yup, AD&D...old school).

bravo which US or EU?

A 9:30 timestamp is the US queue. There is a nasty bottleneck on the EU queue for that SKU that keeps it stalled before the first minute.

Theres a verified new (pics, sealed), in hand FE 3090 listed on Craigslist in my neighboring city for 1700.00.
im trying to get a ride there after work in hopes I get a yes, come get it.
 
Holy anxiety right now.

Sounds scammy. Meet some place safe, test the card before you buy if possible.

Becareful it's not stolen as well. I hope it works out for you

All legit concerns and things i've considered.
Just had a nice long talk with the seller. He's legit. He is a scalper, but flips them for 300 over retail only as he realized he can sell more, and more quickly that way than over charging.
Has receipts for purchase for all cards.
Was telling me he's fighting ebay over someone trying to say he never mailed the gpu when he has verification by ups it was signed for at the address be buyer even.
Be meeting in the middle of the day 1-3 pm tomorrow, should i go through with it.

I wish all scalpers were that decent.  300 only  I would take that deal for a 3080

Just woke up from my after Easter dinner nap. How goes the queue?

Doh, it’s Sunday

The queue doesn't "go", it sits, pointing a finger at us laughing...
