guys, can I ask you how to find out the status of EVGA, my case? A queue dropped out, but due to technical problems I could not have time to smoke (the EVGA website did not work). My email address is 370089900@mail.ru
Or should I not wait for help and the restoration of the queue at 3060?

sanctions and leeching money grubbers, bad combo

Does anyone know if the 3897 drops have been redirected to the step-up queue? I’ve heard people say that, but I’m not sure if it’s true.

If that’s the case, they are probably going to prioritize that queue for a long time, which means I’m just gonna wait for a 3080ti.

I mean the point of the queue is to be able wait. Which were gonna do regardless. Just make sure when the notifications open up, queue for the most expensive model first.

If ETH hits $5000 they will all go to miners and I mean all, except for EVGA?

enewtThe EVGA Queue system is the worst way to purchase a 30 series gpu except for all of the others.

 
This statement valid only if you were aware of launch and signed up immediately when queue opens. In other cases... many people who was "late to the party" will never get their cards - it will be discontinued before queue will be fulfilled.

Unfortunately my mobile device doesn't honor my blocks, so I saw this one...and have to respond.
 
Which launch are you talking about? The launch on September 17, September 24, the launches in October, November, December, February? You didn't know about any of them? Not sure that is EVGA's fault. Oh, and name a better system for a 30 series? Best Buy? Newegg's shuffle bundles? eBay? 
 
My mistake is that I set my target on one sku -- that's my mistake. What was yours?

Enewt, as much as you're the ultimate bro, and I absolutely have your back here, I have but one feeble dispute to level against your statement:
 
The answer is Best Buy and Newegg are both significantly better than the queue for every single person that has been able to buy an MSRP (or near MSRP) GPU there before their turn has come up in the queue, and that is thousands and thousands of people. I was able to buy my CPU from Best Buy LONG before anywhere else had meaningful stock of the 5900X. So for me, the Best Buy system has been a blessing. 
 
"Better" is entirely about perspective. 
 
Human with spear vs. lion? Better to be the human.
Human without spear vs. lion? Better to be the lion. 
Human vs. newt? Better to be the human.
Human vs. enewt? Enewt, OF COURSE!

Perhaps not the best place for these types of questions but any speculations on how much will evga charge for the upcoming 3080ti?

Why is it they often select the 6'+ tall guys to be a tank driver?  Sadism?  Masochism?  Why are there two words that meant the same thing?

Not sure what you're getting at, but sadism means you like receiving pain, masochism means you like causing it.

Well the first thing I'm getting at is it's really cramped in that drivers seat of an Abrams.  But I swear it's always the tall pfcs that wind up stuck in there.  Now the second, it's just kind of fun to see someone step in and correct the differences of the two words.  No offense, but it's telling when you know the nuances.

Ahahaha, I swear it's nothing like that 😅. Nice one, though 😁.

The driver's seat was indeed a bit cramped for me, but I loved every minute of driving those beasts. That pic was at tank school, so we got lots of driving practice. Funny thing was, I went to a cav scout unit after that. Still armor, I guess, lol. I went to Bradley Commander's Course, even though I was on a humvee. Go figure! We then transitioned to a heavy/tank unit, which meant Tank Commander's Course!! After I went to tank commander's course, I logically became the TC, so I didn't get to drive as much, but you'd better believe I took every chance I could to drive it that I could! That's one of the few things I miss from the Army side (I've switched to A.F. as of two years ago). I know it wasn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed living on my tank, and I dearly miss my days on the Abrams. PM the shiz out of it, don't turn to sharply in soft terrain, and it won't let you down!

The Bradley feels terrible to ride in.  The Abrams was like a boat on land.  So smooth.  

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Nvidia change up the dies and all gpus must have the new anti mining BS by a certain date? I'm sure that helps slow down any tiny progress that could be made. They are so busy trying to tell people how they should use the products they buy. These will still all be broken and mined on regardless. Such a waste of time and resource in my opinion.

Price to performance is 3657 worth it over 3655? I see a lot of people got really excited about 3655 moving a bit this week.

at this point just go with what u can get!

I get that but I'm in line for both so I would need to decide between the two.

Does Best Buy's checkout process actually have a specific queuing system which would hold your place in line as you try to check out?  I've heard multiple different answers from multiple different people and haven't been able to get through the checkout process because it keeps saying that there are no Best Buy stores within 250 miles of my location, which is strange because I literally have two different Best Buy stores, both within 10 miles of my house.  Best Buy said if you get a message about the 250 mile thing, that's because the item is already out of stock.
 
And the Newegg Shuffle is a joke.  I call total 'BS' on the fact that it's "completely random" because I've entered over 70 times and haven't been selected once, yet several people who have either recently or previously purchased high-dollar items from them were "coincidentally" selected either a few times per month and some a few times per week.  That is just not statistically possible.
