Hmm. A transaction just hit my bank for the correct amount, but no email from EVGA. Weird. 

Yeah, I see three hits for the total amount, but each followed with a refund for the same amount :(

Apologies for not being more clear when I said, "I'm not talking straggler drops". Most of my comment was about 3898 movement. When you throw in all of the other cards there is a lot more going on, of course. I was just pointing out that non-straggler drops have occurred every day of the week with the exception of Monday. It was a response to someone giving up on drops happening for the week on a Wednesday morning. There is still plenty of time for people to get a card ordered this week.... who are not scalpers, hopefully.
 
And look, there was some 3090 hybrid movement today.  That sure came out of nowhere.

More than a decade in Fantasy EPL (with three wins under my belt) and a lifetime in rotisserie baseball (I go back to the APBA days in the 70s). 

Touché... 🖖🏻

 
Your response reminded me of a story from my past. Years ago -- circa 2002 or so -- there was a young intern who joined the company I worked at for the summer along with about four or five other interns.  She had a catch phrase..."touche" (note, no accent...she pronounced it as if it was a single syllable word).  All summer long in response to any conversation she was a part of -- or that she overheard -- she would utter her catch phrase. The other interns thought it was funny. But the other employees and executives -- who were not in on the "joke" -- thought she was just ignorant. Needless-to-say, at the end of the summer (when the intern class usually receives offers to join the company when their schooling is over), she did not get an offer. Perception is often...everything. 
 
I see a lot of commentary on the EVGA forums, Reddit, Twitter and elsewhere complaining about the lack of movement of the queues and a lot of folks threatening to pursue AIB cards that are specifically not EVGA because of how they have been treated by the queues. Having been part of this community tracking the queues since October 5 (and pursuing a 30 series card since a few days before September 17 -- I am looking at you Amazon "preorder" that was cancelled), I understand the frustration...and I share it. But despite the unconscionable delays and the impending loss of the grandfathered 2020 prices status for those of us on the queues next week, I am still so very thankful that EVGA took the time and effort to create and maintain these queues.
 
Sometimes, late at night when my friends are happily gaming away on their new 30 series gpus while I putter along on my 3 year old Alienware laptop, I can get frustrated with EVGA. And before I start searching for my proverbial marbles to take back home, it is then that I need to go for a walk around the block and seek a new perspective.
 
It is not that EVGA is the problem...it is that EVGA's solution -- while helpful to many -- has not yet solved my problem. In my opinion, the EVGA queue system remains the worst way to purchase a 30 series graphics card, except for all of the others.
 
I hope your gpu problem is solved soon -- whether through the queues or otherwise.  Best of luck!

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

Perception is often...everything. 

Having dated my wife through her architecture major, and having sat down way too many “project” presentations, I’ve learnt that quite quickly early in her major.

This is definitely a pickle of a situation to be in isn’t it? My journey is of an extreme naïveté turned into disbelief. I never gave a thought to having a “shortage”, in fact, when one of my guys at work asked me for time off saying that he and some of his friends will go and get in-line at a Best Buy when the 3090 and 3080 cards were going to be released, I thought “yeah, you go wait in line, I’ll get that 20GB 3080coming out in December”. Little did I know that he would get to enjoy his card for all this time and I would finally give in and get a prebuilt for the fist time in my life just to get an rtx2080.

We live, we learn, some take it better than others, some can’t take it at all...

And look, there was some 3090 hybrid movement today.  That sure came out of nowhere.

There was?

Na, I think he got his SKU crossed. 3987, not 3988.  A good chunk of movement on the 3987.  I didn't see that one catching up to the hybrid and the kpe.  I guess whichever comes first will work, but it depends on if the latter two start moving again.

Yay didn't win the shuffle! I've won twice only when there have been overpriced Radeon cards in there 😣 anyone here get lucky with the shuffle today?

Some one ask Jacob again for us about the 3897 please 🙏.

He said they would drop this week but nothing yet, and I doubt we will see anything and that this week will be any different than the last 6+ (no drops).
 
That SKU is dead as far as I'm concerned and I'm fully expecting EVGA to just drop it (probably already done) and focus on the TI instead (or all the others we keep seeing drop week after week nonstop).
 
So yeah I'm not expecting a card anymore, even though I've been hours away for 1+ month now for a 3897. You just watch: after waiting for 6-7 months we will have to basically queue again from scratch when they announce the TI, until this whole mess starts over again down the road, and they again kill some queues for the 40xx which will be announced next. Rinse repeat and basically never get a card, always waiting in a queue that never really progresses until it gets killed in favor of another one.
