Hey there, here are some notifications that I had received for the 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra and the 3090 FTW3 Ultra. I entered the queue for the 3080Ti 12G-P5-3967-KR on 06/03/2021 at 7:23:38 AM PT and the 3090 24G-P5-3987-KR on 04/28/2021 at 10:02:48 AM PT. I got the notification for the 3080Ti on 06/04/2021 at 9:53 AM PT and for the 3090 on 12/06/2021 at 11:53 AM PT. I ended up purchasing both of them for two of my computers. Also another bit for that same version of the 3080Ti is my cousin, who isn't on the forums, signed up on 06/04/2021 as soon as the public queue went live, got her email on 10/27/2021 at 11:19 AM PT, missed the email, and then they resent it and she purchased it on 11/02/2021. Hope this helps track the queue for these cards. Cousins card is the same part number as my 3080Ti.

It seems like EVGA has found some of their waterlogged inventory for the queue...three hybrid models had drops today. Hopefully tomorrow will bring Titanic-sized drops and we will all get wet.

Just the lone hybrid left.  I need a drop before Christmas
 

Well i am seeing where a lot of people are getting cards from the queue system with later queue dates than my own. I have some from 1/17/21 and 6/5/21 and 6/11/21 and one as old as 9/18/20. These are different queues for the 60, 70, and 80 cards. The oldest one is for a 3080. Yet when I check my notifies, I have not received any notifies on anything. I know the queue system has been updated/changed a few times since entering this queue. I guess my question is with all the updates/changes to the queue system could it be possible that some might have slipped through the cracks and need to redo the queue? If someone could look into this and maybe shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. That way I know if I have to start the queue system all over again.

Yep, I am also from the EU. But anyway, the point is to make the queue transparent to us. I lost a lot of trust in NVIDIA GPU manufacturers also in EVGA since I start to really doubt that 1. price is reasonable at all versus the costs of manufacturing + shipping (at least EVGA is acting fairly here). 2. The queue of EVGA is handled fairly with the right attention. So for me it would help to see a global counter of the queue increasing with every delivery and my place in the queue..... Also it would be interesting to see, where else EVGA delivers GPUs outside the queue and how these other chains are getting prioritized w.r.t the queue. So I hope this message is read by an EVGA employee who can answer this question or propose to implement this feature in the queue which might be 100 lines of code..... ;)

Basically, you're asking EVGA to share with anyone, included their competitors, how many chips Nvidia sells them and how frequently. Sorry, not gonna happen anytime soon…
 
For your positioning on queue. We share the same fate, we are both in the EU queue, which is moving much slower than the US counterpart. At least, with this queue system, we have a chance to buy a VGA at MSRP.
My advice is to look for telegram/discord/other_platforms channels that notify drops. Look especially for LDLC, official Nvidia reseller. In one of their drops, couple of months ago, I managed to get my 3070 Ti Fe for 619€ (MSRP) plus shipping (9,95€).
I saw that they had other drops once or twice a month.
 
Unfortunately, these are tough times, if you want a VGA without resolving to pay scalpers' prices, you have to invest into looking for opportunities and be ready to grab them as soon as possible.
One day, it will return to be as easy as going to amazon and ordering our VGA of choice, but this is not the day, yet.

Yeah we probably won't see their total numbers as that would be too much of an insight, however seeing the queue drop numbers would be useful and it leaves out the majority of the cards sold (those sent to retailers) so that would help. Even if this doesn't tell you exactly where you are in the queue it provides some info about how it's going. Last I checked the element35gaming website the 3080 FTW3 ULTRA LHR dropped last on 24/8/2021 for the queue position of 18/9/2020 in a quantity of one for the EU queue. That surely cannot be correct, or we're in deeper than I thought. These alternative ways of keeping track of the queue paint a pretty depressing picture and I'm hoping it's not as bad as they say since they rely on user reported data and many probably take their GPU and go about their way to forget about this ordeal (and I don't blame them). Complete transparency is not an option and I understand that, but some transparency would go a long way.
 
Funny you should mention LDLC, I was on their list for some EVGA cards, but somewhere between me signing up for notifications and the GPUs coming in stock a 2-300 euro markup appeared, as for FE cards I was told they ship them to a specific list of countries, and sadly mine's not on it. I do wonder if there are any FE distributors at all for eastern europe, that ship in nearby countries at MSRP, let alone distributors for Romania itself (probably not that big of a fish for that to be an option really). I have been suggested stores from around Europe by other forum members (to name a few caseking and LDLC) that have stock of non-FEs, but it's not stock that's the issue atm, it's the price imo.
 
To be honest, availability has not been bad around here, I checked a few local stores online and they all had 20+ 3080s each in the recent past. The only problem was that they were all 1600+ euro (VAT included, the 19% VAT here is a real bummer compared to the 5% in some US states), and at those prices for all I care they can substitute them for the thanksgiving turkey and STUFF EM! 

Hello!
Queue participation is closed for now? Or am I doing somthing wrong and can't find it? Wanted to participate for 3967-KR, but can't find a button to do it.

Yep, it states it on each of the cards:
 
"Due to high demand, the notify queue sign-up is temporarily disabled.
If you have a current queue position, EVGA will continue to process as stock is available."

EVGA strongly suggests to keep the FTW3 ULTRA or XC3 ULTRA models due to consistent supply

OK, but, not the 3080s. I'm pretty sure the 3080 XC3 ULTRA HYBRID and FTW3 ULTRA GAMING haven't had an update on the spreadsheet for at least 3 months. (guess which 2 I'm queued for).

Yea, I can definitely believe that those are the actual numbers of EU queue. We have to understand that, when a f%#king pandemic coupled with a skyrocketing demand of chips is not part of the equation, AIBs first method of income are resellers, and pandemic+demand will one day decline. That day, AIBs don't want to be in bad relations with resellers. So, to not be in bad relations tomorrow, they have to oblige to today's contracts. Meaning that, however scarce their production is, their first worry will always be to refill resellers inventory. And mind this, resellers don't buy VGAs at MSRP, if EVGA and all other partners could divert all of their production to direct sale, they would gladly do that, it will net much more profit than selling stocks to resellers. Whatever is left of EVGA's production after they fullfilled their obligations with resellers, that's what goes into direct sale. Of this minority of production, most of it goes, and I find it practical, to fullfill internal market, which means US queue. Than, if there's still anything left, that's what finally goes into the EU queue, which is a rather more difficult market, having to deal with different VATs, customs and local laws.
 
It sucks for us Europeans, it really sucks, and prices are skyrocketing again, but that's the world we are living in right now. We can only hope new foundries will be built as fast as possible, as many of them here in Europe, that this pandemic will come to an end, that world logistic adjusts to the new demands and, for the time being, we can only try our hardest to find that not-so-overpriced GPU that will fullfil our needs and hope we are not beaten to the purchase by the umpteenth scalper's bot.

I didn't knew LDLC before I was diverted to their site from Nvidia's own pages but, as I got it, they are both a direct reseller and a marketplace, much like Amazon. Those impossible-to-bear prices are from third sellers, I think. Not that this would make it suck any less…
As for official Romanian resellers, have you tried looking into Nvidia's own website? They do list local partners for a bunch of countries. Other than that the only other tip I can offer is to try your best, look for price trackers, drop alerts, be ready with your credit card and, most of all, have a high dose of good luck, there are so many other people in the same situation, not counting scalpers' bots.

Yeah, I consider myself very lucky I managed to snatch a 3070 Ti FE at MSRP, I was almost on the verge of buying a Zotac's 3060 Ti for a bit more than what I paid the 3070 Ti for.

Reply to the invite to purchase email and in your reply indicate your desire to purchase the card. EVGA may do you a solid and rehabilitate the invite.  Best of luck!

Thanks enewt. EVGA comes through yet again

I don't know if the nVIDIA site is up to date, but it seems that for those from Eastern Europe, the price for a video card starts at 400 euros, but for resellers the same video card is 3 or 4 times more expensive.
