Is the queue for the  3885-KL ... ever going to move? I'm over a year in line now, and I sincerely doubt that I'll ever get a card.

I'm in for the 3885-KL also. It has been about a year and a half. pretty sure that i'll never get it. 

I am going to keep the Queue 3.0 Rules and the new Queue 3.0 Forum Thread links in the intro for a day or three for those that haven't heard the news yet. I have also attempted a rough FAQ to try to head off the inevitable questions that will arise as more casual queue followers learn about the new system going forward (constructive feedback is welcome as I was pulling it together while handling family duties and likely botched it up).
 
As I have watched my beloved PUBG die a slow death (PUBGM, which I have never played, seems as robust as ever) over my 15 plus month s'more diet during the EVGA 30 Series queue watch, I have been searching in earnest for a replacement. And while I really enjoy Tarkov...I don't currently have a rig that allows me to be even at the bottom edge of competitiveness in it. I had occasion to play on my brother's rig about a week ago. I sat down and promptly realized that my FPS skills are dramatically reduced; my WASD fingers have atrophied. (Narrator: not "dramatically"...the amphibian already sucked.)
 
I tried out Super People on my brother's rig, a F2P mash up of PUBG and Fortnite with some Overwatch-style uber power stuff thrown in. I sucked at it. Hard. Anyway, what I realized for the first time during that brief play session is that I may actually prefer watching competent people play my favorite games over flailing (and failing) at it myself. This new, alien feeling runs counter to everything I have learned dating back 40 plus years (key lesson: don't let your brother sit down in front of the family's one pc before you...dominate seat time and you win, regardless of the outcome of any individual round). I am now questioning whether fast twitch skill games are...beyond me. I truly hope not...but only time will tell. I remain as eager as ever for the EVGA queue to fulfill my KPE fantasies.  
 
It is Philosophy Phriday (thanks nomoss)...go get your card!
 
Best of luck today!
 
As of 9:40 am PT Phriday, January 14, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents that a queue drop has reportedly occurred since the morning of January 13; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement from that SKU's prior report*):

* In the absence of information from EVGA about the respective tiers (EVGA score cohorts), the EVGA Queue Summary will report the latest timestamp report received (I'll assume that it comes from a registrant with a superlative EVGA Score (i.e., the highest tier) who has no prior history of buying a 30 series card from the EVGA Queue); Queue 3.0 rows in the summary will not include an "elapsed time" italicized parenthetical. 
 
May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.

Should we just let go of 3080 10gb notifies since I assume they will not make any more of these chips?

I wouldn't recommend it at this time, but that's just my two cents lol.
 
Edit: The reason I say this is that you cannot re-enter the que for that sku once you remove it. So, until it's officially discontinued, I'd keep it. Maybe not, I seem to be more wrong that right lately so it's ultimately your call...

They could move us to 3080 12gb, i mean it would be fair. The problem is, the price for 12gb is so inflated it's almost in the rx 6900xt range and not really a good buy.

Another good point, could do it like they did with the LHR model change. Give you the option to stay in the remaining que or transfer. But, other than winning a newegg shuffle there aren't many other options for purchasing a new card (that I know of), so food for thought!

the thing is if you have 2 cards in ur queue(s) and one of them is the 3885 (3080 10gb), which is not moving at all after almost a year and a half. If you plan on trying for the 3050 later this month, your gonna have to get rid of one of the two cards you have in your queue. seems like the 3080 10 gb is the one to drop, what do u think?

Depends on which two you have, your times, and what you really want.  There are some queues that will not budge and others that still have a chance.  EVGA has posted that the 3080-10 will live on for the foreseeable future... that isn't to say, forever.
 
Suggest to anyone that you should post up what you have and get some community feedback.

obviously I have the 3885 3080 10gb  and i got in on the 3080 12gb. If i want a chance for the 3050, one of these have to go. and from what i understand the times dont really mean alot in queue 3.0

In that case, keep the 12GB for sure, except the decision will cost you quite a bit more money than the 10GB... as you know.  Time only matters if there is a tie.  Have you purchased from the evga queue yet?  If no, then you will get pushed forward and have a decent chance.

I've purchased numerous cards from evga over the last few years, and power supplies and CLC's. So, i dont think i'll get pushed ahead at all.

Considering the niche that is KP I believe I will have a solid chance even with previous 30 series purchase from OG Queue 🤔

do u have an idea of how many people have reported back that they got the notify for the 3080 12gb

Congratulations!  Thanks for reporting back.  Enjoy your new waterlogged gaming goodness!

I have to say I'm impressed with EVGA. I have now received a notification for every card I queued for and this 4hr jump on the hybrid card on it's launch day really surprised me. Either everyone removed them from their 2 or they had a massive drop today. Either way I think I'm going to pass on it as I'm set with the card I've got and maybe pick up a hybrid kit when I move to a new case that can fit 2 AIOs. I would like to stuff all my components into a O11 air mini, but currently they won't all fit.
