Hi ItsJustVegas -- there is a form now where you can submit your own 3080 and 3090 "auto-notify" date/time stamps to the spreadsheet. It is the link in the bottom of my signature. Based on the date/time stamps you've posted, you are most likely to receive the 3080 FTW3 Ultra invite email first (but with a 10/17 date/time stamp, you are likely well more than a month away from receiving the invite). Sorry I don't have better news. shawnmac27 Can I please get an add to the spreadsheet.

Hi shawnmac27. The spreadsheet was only established for 3080s and 3090s. I am not aware of a spreadsheet for 3070s. And, as I have previously posted in this thread, I don't think a 3070 spreadsheet will have the same utility for us. In my opinion, given the world had advanced knowledge of the queues for the 3070, I don't think a spreadsheet will have as much utility. Everybody should be frontloaded and within the 05:55 am to 06:55 am window on 10/29. There may be drops where the queue doesn't even move a full second. I think we will be able to track it from just posts in the thread as to when people receive their emails. TLDR; I don't think a spreadsheet is worth it for the 3070s given the nature of the launch and frontloading of "auto-notify" registrations.
shawmac27, based on your date/time stamps for the 3070, I would think that you are most likely to receive the 3070 FTW3 Ultra invite first. Because we don't have any non launch day 3070 drops yet, I really cannot give you any prediction as to how quickly that email will come. Good luck to you both.

While I appreciate EVGA giving people the opportunity to be on a waiting list for a video cards, I'm very happy the AMD cards are soon to be released. I've owned EVGA video cards going way back (6-7 video cards registered here on EVGA site) and have always been very happy with them. You would think EVGA would want to satisfy more people on their own web site and make these cards available faster than the other retailers. On this web site they sale the cards at full MSRP but they sell cards to other vendors at much reduced prices. If a new AMD card becomes available soon I may jump ship. The speed that they are sending out notices for purchasing opportunities here is just at a snails pace and really not improving. My earliest signup was at 9/19 at 9:00 PM and my guess is it will still be several months before I have an opportunity to buy here. Nvidia has completely failed at yet another launch!

Yes Nvidia Failed. EVGA didn't. They went above and beyond for their customers.

enewt Thank you for the PM I can't quite message back yet on this account. Where did you see the 120 spots? I checked the google drive and I appear to be about 30 spots away for a 10:04 queue time on the ftw3 ultra.

Really hope the line for 3070 folks moves significantly for those who signed up within a couple of minutes of 6 am. If not, the queue is mostly useless.

There are perpetual 5% off codes and can be often stacked with cc benefits like the chase PayPal cashback so not that much higher. You will find a code in my signature 😉

The GPU discount through EVGA associates codes' is 5%. They work for 3090, 3080 and 3070 GPUs. Other EVGA components, etc. sold through the EVGA receive discounts between 5 and 10% (e.g., cases, cooling solutions and PSUs receive 10% discounts).

I understand your frustration but a manufacturer's relationship with retailers is more complex than you think it is. I'm sure EVGA would LOVE to sell all of their products on their site, but they have obligations to retailers that they have to fulfill if they wanna maintain their relationship. This is an unusual situation with this botched release where supply can't keep demand, so while its easy for them to sell all of these RTX cards without a middle man, that is not normally the case. EVGA would not survive long term without their retail partners and they are not just gonna change their business strategy based on what happened with these cards on the first months of being releasd.

I think they should send me a 3080 right now so can prove you wrong! I’ll apologize to you if I’m wrong. 😂😂

Yeah and the downside to that is, those etailers are selling them to scalpers who buy them up right away.

Am I correct to assume that the sheet is a combined list for both NA and EU? Or?

Unfortunately, the spreadsheet is just the US, Canada and, I believe, Puerto Rico as that is the current restriction on the queue. My understanding is that they are working on a queue process for EU (and potentially elsewhere) but I haven't heard anything about it recently.

mudbone91 I ordered my 3090 FTW3 Ultra card on 10/27 and received it on 10/29. I did not get it installed until the night of 10/30 because I had to cut on my old case (Antec Atlas 550 Mid-Tower Case) with a Dremel tool to get the card to fit I was able to play Warzone a couple times last night with all settings maxed out at 2560 X 1440 resolution on a Samsung Odyssey G7 32" monitor. Very nice! I am old mind you (62) so my vision isn't what it was when I was younger but finally I was able to spot people from distances and when up close there was no blurring. OK I do not know all the technical terms but it looked great. I came in second on my first game with the new card. I was using a GTX 980 SC before this card and the difference is huge. Here are some of my thoughts and complaints: 1.) During the registration I was presented with two options (5 years $30 and 10 years for $60) to purchase an extended warranty. I selected to make a purchase and it kicked me out of the page. I do want to make that purchase and need to find that page again. 2.) The documentation on this card is almost non-existent. If there is a manual somewhere can someone please point me to it. 3.) The only thing that comes with the card is a metal bracket that you can use to mount the other end of the card to your case. It says it can be used "if the case supports it". My box is old but I fashioned a bracket for it out of the drive bay metal that I had to cut on The card is pretty heavy and I did not want it to break the PCIe slot on the motherboard. 4.) I have an HX750i power supply. EVGA recommends a 750 PSU minimum on their website but when I installed the Precision X1 software it notified me that it was insufficient and pointed me to their 850 PSU's to purchase. I knew I would not be able to overclock it but I did expect it to work if I didn't. The two games I played seemed fine but I will eventually get another PSU if I see its an issue. I did use three separate 8 pin cables coming from the PSU to the card. Modular PSU's are the only way to go. 5.) This is my biggest complaint and I am not too happy about it. When I registered the card and uploaded my invoice on 10/30 I immediately went to a link I had saved in my browser to get the Watch Dogs: Legion code and the page showed that I had purchased a qualifying card but reported that the promotion was closed! I wrote an email about it to EVGA and the webmaster wrote me back and said they were sorry but we have limited codes! I paid $1864.09 for this card and can't get the software that was advertised with the card? I am going to write Sales and Customer Service but EVGA needs to make this good. Even if I have to take the newer call of duty promotion. I did not have a choice as to when I could purchase this card. I looked at that spreadsheet and noticed no one else has received their notification for a 3090 FTW3 Ultra card since the day I ordered it so I know I am lucky to even get one in my hands. With that said I still think the promotion should be honored.
I got an email from the webmaster at EVGA while I was typing the above message and I am including it below. Hopefully I will get a game after all this is over Good Evening, Thank you for reaching out to EVGA customer support. Unfortunately we are out of the Watch Dogs: Legions codes, we ran out of codes on 10/29 and per NVIDIA's promotional terms, the promotion is while supplies last. The Call of Duty promotion is for purchases made on 10/30 or after, unfortunately we do not get a say on distribution of the codes. We are reviewing this with NVIDIA, please check back with us after 11/3 as we should have word on if there is anything that can be done. You can find the promotional terms for each of these promotions here https://www.evga.com/arti...get-watch-dogs-legion/ and here https://www.evga.com/arti...1453/get-call-of-duty/ Thank you, EVGA

That they ran out of codes is a joke - they've sold almost no cards.

MrMichaelJames
s8er01z EVGA...is there any harm in telling us what position we are in line and what number you are on? When I pull a number at the DMV I can at least look up and see what number they are on versus what number I have in my hand. I know this has some potential downside but I think everyone is well aware that there is some kind of supply issue at this point and it's not your fault. Thanks!
They won't ever do that. It would reveal too much about their customer count, how many they sell through and too much about the production capacity.
I definitely agree they can't reveal how many customers are in the queue or how many cards they are shipping daily. I do think they could reveal what the latest notify time they have emailed out per SKU... that would eliminate most of the need for the spreadsheet TBH.

Hi ItsJustVegas -- there is a form now where you can submit your own 3080 and 3090 "auto-notify" date/time stamps to the spreadsheet. It is the link in the bottom of my signature. Based on the date/time stamps you've posted, you are most likely to receive the 3080 FTW3 Ultra invite email first (but with a 10/17 date/time stamp, you are likely well more than a month away from receiving the invite). Sorry I don't have better news.
shawnmac27 Can I please get an add to the spreadsheet.

Hi shawnmac27. The spreadsheet was only established for 3080s and 3090s. I am not aware of a spreadsheet for 3070s. And, as I have previously posted in this thread, I don't think a 3070 spreadsheet will have the same utility for us.
In my opinion, given the world had advanced knowledge of the queues for the 3070, I don't think a spreadsheet will have as much utility. Everybody should be frontloaded and within the 05:55 am to 06:55 am window on 10/29. There may be drops where the queue doesn't even move a full second. I think we will be able to track it from just posts in the thread as to when people receive their emails. TLDR; I don't think a spreadsheet is worth it for the 3070s given the nature of the launch and frontloading of "auto-notify" registrations.
shawmac27, based on your date/time stamps for the 3070, I would think that you are most likely to receive the 3070 FTW3 Ultra invite first. Because we don't have any non launch day 3070 drops yet, I really cannot give you any prediction as to how quickly that email will come. Good luck to you both.
Ok, done.

What is the logic or explanation for entire SKU's not even shipping the first card to the notify list?

The self-reported signups indicate that the expensive SKUs are at least as popular in the notification queues as the cheap ones and it's a virtual certainty that the pricier cards give EVGA a better profit margin. That's obviously a bit speculative but that conclusion jibes well with what we know of previous launches. Various industry sources have claimed in the past that when a new generation launches it's typically the "sexiest" high end cards that are most in demand because early adopters who follow release dates are typically willing to pay a premium for the blingiest options while the best value cards only eventually become more popular by having a "long tail" and appealing to more budgets. Granted, given the current circumstances it could all easily be viewed as a self-fulfilling prophecy--I'm an early adopter and while I'd take whatever 3080 happens to be available it appears that "what is available" is going to be the FTW3 Ultra.

BURN_BaD An alternate tracker from Reddit. Its been online for a while now, and it includes tracking for the 3070 if anyone's interested. https://docs.google.com/s...La3t0KEHSjknP/pubhtml#
Hi BURN_BaD. I’ve been following that alternative spreadsheet for a few days now. I was hopeful that it could be a better tool for us. Sadly, in my opinion, it is not worth following. Specifically with respect to the 3090s and 3080s, I have compared the self-reported “invite to purchase” emails for each card’s queue on that spreadsheet against the spreadsheet we have been using for the last several weeks. The spreadsheet that we’ve been working from has (a) substantially more entries and (b) more recent self-reported emails. (After a full comparison of all 3090 and 3080 tabs, our existing spreadsheet had the most recent “invite to purchase” email entries for every card.) I will continue to work from the original spreadsheet. With respect to maintaining a 3070 spreadsheet, I continue to maintain that it is unnecessary. From one of my posts on 10/29: enewt In my opinion, given the world had advanced knowledge of the queues for the 3070, I don't think a spreadsheet will have as much utility. Everybody should be frontloaded and within the 05:55 am to 06:55 am window on 10/29. There may be drops where the queue doesn't even move a full second. I think we will be able to track it from just posts in the thread as to when people receive their emails. TLDR; I don't think a spreadsheet is worth it for the 3070s given the nature of the launch and frontloading of "auto-notify" registrations.
Specifically with respect to the 3070 tabs from this “alternative” spreadsheet, the data is a mess. When compared to data sampling we’ve worked with in the original spreadsheet, this 3070 data is, in my opinion, unreliable – so much so that I cannot recommend we work from it (admittedly, I may be biased about bothering with any 3070 spreadsheet – see my quoted comment above). Why do I say the 3070 tabs in the “alternative” spreadsheet are unreliable? The 3070 self-reports and the spreadsheet structure by its authors both have material problems – here are three of the bigger defects I’ve identified: - The spreadsheet didn’t have a “launch day” sku queue so it is highly likely that some folks who signed up for the “launch day” sku self-reported into the standard 3070 XC3 Gaming Black queue. We won’t know whether those data points are actually in EVGA’s official list for the XC3 Gaming Black card going forward or not (i.e., they were in the (now-presumably) defunct “launch day” sku queue). The result is that it could appear that EVGA is dropping a lot more cards than in actual reality they are because with the erroneous data included in the “standard” Gaming Black queue we would see the line progress through/past erroneous self-reported data entries that are not actually in EVGA’s official queue (as they were made for the “launch day” queue). - The 3070 spreadsheet has a tab for a 3070 FTW3 Gaming SKU that as best as I can tell from the EVGA website does not exist. I asked the author of the spreadsheet about it and he said that Newegg has listed a 3070 FTW3 Gaming sku so “maybe it is coming.” Maybe it is, but that doesn’t explain why at least 65 people have self-reported that they have signed up for its queue on the EVGA site…when EVGA doesn’t have it listed. I am at a loss to explain this one. - Self-reporting seems confused. For example, one person reported receiving an “invite to purchase” email at 8:26 am on the 3070 FTW3 Ultra queue, but I don’t think a single “invite to purchase” went out for that card on the launch day. The prior 199 data entries before 8:26 am in that queue have not reported receiving an “invite to purchase” email. The data is erroneous. TLDR; - With respect to 3090s and 3080s, I think the “alternative” spreadsheet has less data and less timely data than what we’ve already been using. - With respect to the 3070 tabs, (i) the sheet’s authors failed to account for the “launch day” sku which materially compromises the XC3 Gaming Black data, (ii) they’ve included a sku that does not exist on the EVGA site, and (iii) the self-reporting is demonstrably false and unreliable. - What we’ve been working from is, in my opinion, materially more reliable and accurate as a tool than this “alternative” spreadsheet for 3090 and 3080 queue timing. For all of the above and more, I don’t trust this “alternative” spreadsheet and I do not intend to rely on it going forward. YMMV.

Just shocked I got in @ 6:00 AM and 52 seconds and no email yet. Be interesting if I get none next week either. Really shows how futile the 3080 queue is. I had Sept 23rd / 24th for that and it's still on the 17th, like a month later...lol.
