Thinking back on how this all went down, I would have liked to have seen a way to just sign up for any 30X0 card.  As new SKU's were introduced I would then be automatically added to the initial queue before everyone else gets their notify button available.
 
Then, once I actually get the the first notification for any card in that series, I can either pass on that card and my name stays in the queues for the other cards in that series or I purchase it and my name is automatically removed from all other SKU's in that series.
 
*EDIT*
Maybe just allow one or two passes so it isn't abused to try get later/better SKU's... just pondering here, please don't roast me.

X3 black moves 8 mins while gaming moves 5 hours.   why does evga even have sku's when they dont want to deliver them?   Its even worse for 3080's some them have barely moved.    Why not simply have a queue only for items that move, why make ppl subscribe to queues that they have no intention of delivering.
 

I'd take 40mins of movement on the EU queue and be happily off with my 3060.
With your logic, they could just remove the EU queue entirely as it doesn't deliver anything.

yes , very much. Whats the point in a queue which does not move, it is as good as not having it.
Look I signed up for 3895 and that queue is not all moving but other queues for 3080 have some movement even though it is slow. 
Now we see that only queues that are moving are of higher  priced sku's.   Its quite simple why not have only those queues to begin with, all of us would have signed for those queues.
It is not how fast or slow they are moving , but why have them and mislead ppl.    
 
simply put, would you sign up for those queues now for which there is no movement?

u realize theres a shortage going on right now right? taiwan in the midst of a drought and having to truck in waters to the fabs. they did send out a few wave of the poor man sku... look if u dont like how the queue system is.. go buy from zotac, newegg shuffle, botmazon or bestbuy.. go boycott evga because "my queue isnt moving on low no profit sku"

Look my point is not whether queue system is beneficial or not, that's a different argument.
I simply dont see any point in having notify (aka queue) for skus which are not being  sold now. We already have that for 3889 (hydro copper) where notify is disabled.  Simply apply the same thing for rest of the sku's which are not moving. 

In reality, they should have created a separate queue button, given that there are also products that you can auto-notify for, but don't put you in a queue. They definitely have some work to do to make this more intuitive to customers.

How's it gonna go with the lhr cards? Are they going to open new queues for those or just start sending those versions to people who expected the real thing?

They said on a recent livestream the queue is going to migrate to LHR so if you don't get a card soon expect a LHR version

You signed up for a real gaming card and you're getting a real gaming card. Just now it will throttle mining. Which is fine. Plus eth is going to pos from pow so mining profitability is gonna be pretty much nothing.

Just got RTX 3070 from the queue  was put on list back in December 2020.  I saw the Email by accident and was glad I did.  The 8 Hour window is very small compared to real-world - should be 24 hrs or something.

At this rate who knows when I'll be getting my link since I just queued this April 😢

Will that software nerfing or hardware? Because software based nerfing could be overridden

The LHR series will be hardware-based limitations.

A poor week for all Eu ques, from what I have seen.
Am I wrong, or?

Pretty sweet that the 3070 queues are all still in November of last year and we may have a new 3070ti queue to start...woo

Unpopular opinion (it's been a couple weeks since I rocked the boat)...  Selling your used card for insane prices is being part of the problem.  If you take advantage of the shortage to sell your very used 1080ti for what you paid for it 4 years ago (or even more), you aren't much better than a scalper, you are taking advantage and profiting off the current situation. 
 
I understand that's what is going to happen, and people can do what they want, but once you accept more than you paid for a 4-5 year old card your "moral high ground days" are expired.  No more complaining about shuffles or bundles or queues or greed or bots or tariffs, because you stomped your feet and cried "unfair" when the situation hurt you, yet still found it OK to exploit it when it helped you.
 
If you want to retain your integrity, find a friend who needs a better card and hook them up for a fair price, even better a stranger.  You will feel good about it, they will feel good about it, and the money "lost" was never really lost, it was only there because of a messed up situation that this entire community has bemoaned for going on 9 months now.
 
When I went from my 3080 FTW3 to the K|ngP|n, I sold the card to a friend of a friend who I never met.  Not for what I could get on eBay, not for tariff pricing, not even for MSRP...  I used the card for over a month, benched it, and had it in and out of the machine a couple times.  While I am meticulous and the card performed/looked brand new, but I sold it to the guy for $50 less than original MSRP.  It felt right and he was insanely happy.  I tell this story not to say "look at how great I am" but instead to demonstrate you do not have to give in to the system and be another butthole trying to squeeze money out of the next guy.
 
Hopefully this doesn't fall upon deaf ears, hopefully some people agree, hopefully we see that "fair" and "unfair" aren't based on how something affects us and only us, but the greater good. 
 
Saturday soapbox speech complete.

Those are the rules of the free market.  When/If I put my less than 1 year old card for sale on Ebay, it will/would go up without a reserve and start at 1 cent, it earns what it earns.  The one and only thing wrong with the scalpers are the methods used to purchase the cards so they have all the inventory and there by control inventory and in the end pricing.  There is nothing fair or unfair about scalpers pricing, you either pay the price or you don't.  What is unfair is to bend to the price and then complain about the price you "had" to pay.  Now if I had a friend or relative that needed one, I'd just give them the card and feel even more right and make them even happier.
 
That being said, now that I think about it I will probably just replace the 1050 in my Plex server. ;)

This may be asked before. Does the arrival of the LHR versions make all models a new? My 3060 notify at this speed here in the EU is maybe 600 years away.
A new start for the LHR version may give me a chance to queue in earlier.

I am only planning to queue for the 3070ti or 3080ti if I still have this pre lhr 3070 sitting in front of me at the time. I got a notice that the specific model I have is not going to be produced anymore, most likely due to the lhr model having a different sku. 
 
later,

Ok, this is a something new, you have got a notice, from who, and for what SKU?
