i was just reviewing the NewEgg shuffle thing. why is the 3080 ftw3 ultra selling for $1900 there? i'm guessing it has something to do with the newegg shuffle, but i don't really understand what the deal is with the shuffle... anyone care to explain what this process is and why the price is so high? if it was selling at MSRP, i might be inclined to try and get in on the shuffle, but i'm not paying $1900.
 
Thanks in advance!

Also, does anyone have any advice on how to sign up for a product launch while the website keeps crashing? It literally took me ~20 minutes to get the EVGA site to load when I signed up for the 3080 FTW/XC3 hybrid editions (I tried on both mobile and desktop). I have absolutely no clue how people managed to snag a ~9:02/9:05 am auto-notify slot.

This would deter a lot of would be scalpers

That would deter me. The entire program has me thinking about other brands, to be honest.  I am not a fan of privileged clubs.  It's great for y'all, but in the end it is just easier to go elsewhere and not worry about it.

if you are thinking about other brands-why do you need a elite status? it should only include people who really want an evga card and respect the brand. this is my opinion.

Yes, Elite should be for people who really want an EVGA card and respect the brand. That is not what Elite is, though.  It is about recently buying and registered ONE or TWO things, which is hardly a commitment to the brand and says nothing about whether they really want more.

EVGA has been my go to for gpu's and psu's going on 6 years now.They are diffently the best money can buy .But my loyalty is being tested from the total lack of getting a gpu after 7 months plus.Their loyalty seems to extend only to their partners and miners.Gamers on the list are getting very very very few gpu's.

Your account says registered in 2017. That not 6 years.

If you're mad at the lack stock evga has go click that buy now button somewhere else.

Nike_7688I get why they did what they did as no matter what, they would have "alienated" (insert whatever grumpy word you want here lol) someone. If it was 500 posts in the forums, the folks who did well over 100 posts in 10-24 hours this week by saying the equivalent (or literally) of "nice" on every thread they could find wouldn't really be deterred while people that actually try to contribute and help each other (the purpose of these forums) would be left behind.

There simpler solution: to change requirements from "100 posts" to "10 posts marked as helpful". It when post has yellow background, I do not talking about "Blue ribbon".

How you doin’ SQ? You’ve been quiet lately.

 
Doing well, thanks for asking.  I was just dealing with some migraine issues last week that made it impossible to stare at screens for more than five minutes.  Never had those before.

Ouch. As a not-so-frequent sufferer of migraines I can relate.

Glad you’re feeling better.

One thing I'm sure is buried, is there a standard time of day the notifications go out?

Speaking of motherboards, product page for Z590 FTW available now: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=121-RL-E597-KR
But in this thread it is offtopic, motherboards has own thread: https://forums.evga.com/Sneak-peak-at-A-New-Generation-of-Excellence-EVGA-Z590-Motherboards-m3198923-p14.aspx

No other brand is doing this that I know of.
The loyalty in question should be to nVidia for making the mining cards and not so great limiters.

While they have done more than other AIBs, its hard to blame people for being upset when EVGA does things that makes it harder for their loyal "fans" to get products.
 
Examples:
Giving cards to LTT instead of the queue. 
Advertising elite membership early access. 
Not offering Bstock on a notify basis. 
 
Don't get me wrong, the notify queue is great however seeing new customers/bots swoop in and grab cards while more loyal "fans" have to wait is not good for their brand retention. I think EVGA relies on that brand retention so it can be damaging to prioritize seeking new customers at the cost of existing ones.
