Cheemonstonzo Agreed. Text is overall harder to read and I can't tell bold text from normal text.
There's no strain coming from my eyes. Am I the only one?
No, not the only one - I find the Courier easier to read. And I see bolded text just fine.
Found out if I zoom to 200% (4mm tall) I can read it just fine. But the bold text is still thinner than the normal forum font. At 100% zoom (2mm tall), both new font and bold new font are so razor thin, I really, really have look to see the difference. The normal font can still be read and easy to tell from bold text even zoomed out to 50% (1mm tall). The new font literally doesn't have enough pixels to make characters at 50% zoom.

nerdystuff Thanks so much enewt for monitoring the queue for so long. Just got my notification: 9/23/2020 6:46:59 PM PTYes
Congratulations and thanks for reporting back. Enjoy your new 3897-KL.

Larac On Jacob's maybe hybrids 80 ti next week.
He says that every week. The fact he has no idea what is being shipped, makes me wonder how EVGA stays afloat.
I too am a bit curious as to who actually makes the decision of which models are shipped out each week. <snip>
What will really blow your mind is when you realize that EVGA_JacobF is actually from central casting and he just streams for EVGA on non-call days for his regular Korean drama gig (do you honestly think he is going to give up that Netflix money; the steep price inflation on drawing pencils is insane these days).
Very true.

It's a good thing all of the bolded rows have a italicized parenthetical to help set them off. In all seriousness, the voting has become fairly one-sided in favor of reverting back to the original. I will try to do that tonight/over the weekend, so it is possible you'll need to endure one more New Courier report....

Aonevm @enewt hate your new font for queue list, pls change back :) still waiting on 60ti's, drought is unbearable
Agreed. Text is overall harder to read and I can't tell bold text from normal text.
I Agree with these people. I appreciate the work but if I may, I'd like to request to change it back, please. :) Other than that I'm also waiting for the, I guess, regular 60 and it's unbearable for me as well-- though I am happy to see other people getting their cards! To be honest I'm glad it's coming someday. Before knowing about the notify list I gave up on trying to get a new GPU.

Even though I personally prefer serif-type fonts for many things like technical documents (I need to know if a character is l, I, or 1), I find sans-serif fonts much easier and quicker to read. Arial and Calibri are great IMO and are legible at sub 6-point font. The biggest problem with the previous font was how razor thin it was. Might also be that I'm resolution-scale adverse. With that said, I would've sucked it up and lived with it, maybe with a bit of friendly grumbling.

Don't you all just love how every day is basically a "dry day" for card drops? Especially the 3968 having no drops at all since launch. I think I'm going to start voicing my complaints directly to EVGA customer service. How can they release a card and then not have any movement at all in over a month since release?

that doesn't really matter anymore...supply is increasing quickly and no miners are going to buy the LHR version of graphics cards...there is also a glut of graphics cards being sold off in China after they pretty much blanket banned crypto currencies...3060s selling for $270 in bulk and all those cards are the non-LHR variant...soo there will be a flood hitting ebay soon...you may even see below MSRP prices on ebay for used cards

We can only wait and pray that that is the case, I would like to see prices start dropping to MSRP. I have the money but know if I was to make a purchase like the scalpers want I would hate myself and have no self respect..lol

True, but if you wanted a 3080 Ti, you had all models pretty much releasing at the same time, on the same day. The servers were hit especially hard that day. Most people got in whichever notifications they could, and if they managed to get multiple notifications, they could have been as much as 20 or 30 minutes apart. usak90 is not incorrect in that they are releasing models that rarely see any movement for no reason other than "they're more niche", which has honestly become a bit meaningless at this point. I'd say the only product that is really niche at this point are the full waterblock cards, as they require you to have a significant investment in cooling already in your system. Hybrids should be going out just as often as air-cooled cards. We can see that the pace of hybrid 3080s and 3090s has definitely picked up in the last month, but just because the 3080 Ti is a newer card doesn't mean it should also be left for months without drops like those cards were.

Hybrids are niche as well. Just not as niche as HC. Both are low volume SKUs. What would you do if you owned EVGA and were in the business of making money?

Perhaps it seems that way because the queue(s) you're in aren't moving, or haven't moved in a couple of weeks. However, queues that haven't moved in a lot longer than a few weeks are making big strides. It hasn't been a dry week. You're just not seeing movement where you want it to be.

You would be correct if everything was as it usually is. But, it's not. The hybrids don't require any extra investment from the user; they're just as plug and play as an air-cooled card, and people will buy whatever they can get their hands on right now (barring the HC, which do have a significant additional investment attached). They also cost more than the air-cooled cards while not likely costing much more to make. We're talking about queue cards here, not the cards that go to retail. IF I were EVGA I would certainly make more of a card that I can charge more for, all else being equal.

Air cooled cards have and always will sell 10x (rough guestimate but I bet it's more than 10x) more compared to a hybrid card. They do take more investment from the end user. More time and more money. I would argue that the hybrid cards cost more to make than the HC cards. There is a radiator, a pump, fans on the radiator, tubing, fan on the shroud. The HC has a block and a sheet of plexi. In the end we will have to agree to disagree and move on.

Air cooled cards have and always will sell 10x (rough guestimate but I bet it's more than 10x) more compared to a hybrid card. They do take more investment from the end user. More time and more money. I would argue that the hybrid cards cost more to make than the HC cards. There is a radiator, a pump, fans on the radiator, tubing, fan on the shroud. The HC has a block and a sheet of plexi. In the end we will have to agree to disagree and move on.
I suppose so. We can also point out that none of the 3080 Ti models have been moving much at all, so again, if you wanted that card, you're stuck waiting for now. I'm not really complaining, but it is a bit strange to release a new card and then just not really focus on it - especially when it is actually more profitable to produce than either the 3080 or the 3090.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the community spreadsheet ☺️. I hope you all get your card soon! If you found the spreadsheet useful, please consider using my associate code for your next purchase:

ericbartman 13 second movement in 2 weeks for 3967. While ebay is full of EVGA cards. Just sayin....
They were sure moving pretty quickly previously. I already got me email but skipped it. Got the XC3 version instead. I bet they start moving again here shortly when they tool up the line and start shipping from overseas. I imagine that they only have a couple lines in the factories so you cannot make all SKUs at the very same time. Patience sucks but what are you going to do?

usak90 Don't you all just love how every day is basically a "dry day" for card drops? Especially the 3968 having no drops at all since launch. I think I'm going to start voicing my complaints directly to EVGA customer service. How can they release a card and then not have any movement at all in over a month since release?
There have been more cards dropping lately than ever before. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
True, but if you wanted a 3080 Ti, you had all models pretty much releasing at the same time, on the same day. The servers were hit especially hard that day. Most people got in whichever notifications they could, and if they managed to get multiple notifications, they could have been as much as 20 or 30 minutes apart. usak90 is not incorrect in that they are releasing models that rarely see any movement for no reason other than "they're more niche", which has honestly become a bit meaningless at this point. I'd say the only product that is really niche at this point are the full waterblock cards, as they require you to have a significant investment in cooling already in your system. Hybrids should be going out just as often as air-cooled cards. We can see that the pace of hybrid 3080s and 3090s has definitely picked up in the last month, but just because the 3080 Ti is a newer card doesn't mean it should also be left for months without drops like those cards were.
Hybrids are niche as well. Just not as niche as HC. Both are low volume SKUs. What would you do if you owned EVGA and were in the business of making money?
You would be correct if everything was as it usually is. But, it's not. The hybrids don't require any extra investment from the user; they're just as plug and play as an air-cooled card, and people will buy whatever they can get their hands on right now (barring the HC, which do have a significant additional investment attached). They also cost more than the air-cooled cards while not likely costing much more to make. We're talking about queue cards here, not the cards that go to retail. IF I were EVGA I would certainly make more of a card that I can charge more for, all else being equal.

They were moving pretty quickly (the 80ti cards) I skipped on my email for the FTW3 Ultra version and bought the XC3 instead because it was cheaper.

Don't keep all your eggs in one basket. Yes try for bestbuy and the stupid shuffle.

Did you just say patience sucks to those who have been waiting for a card for over 8 months? C'mon man. And then we have "elite" queue that doesn't even satisfy first day in the first month. Meanwhile, there are scalpers who have EVGA cards left right and centre? Apparently this production line pretty tooled up and is working quite well for the scalpers. Sorry for being touchy, but this wouldn't be infuriating if I didn't see every other card on eBay being an EVGA.

If you receive an "invite to purchase" email and you miss the window, do the following: (1) reply to the email (it should have come from ordernotify@evga.com) and indicate your desire to purchase the card. (2) call EVGA customer service during their working hours (9 am to 6 pm Pacific Time Weekdays (excluding EVGA holidays)): 1.888.881.EVGA (3842) (3) they should be able to locate your reply, confirm that the queue has reached your registration and reissue you a new email with a new link to purchase your card. It might take a day or so for them to confirm on-hand inventory and issue the replacement email. Please be vigilant about checking your in-box, whitelist ordernotify@evga.com with your preferred email client, and do not panic about the 8 hour window. EVGA should be able to get you sorted. Best of luck!
