Just got my notification for RTX 3070 XC3 BLACK GAMING, 08G-P5-3751-KR!
Signed up: 10/29/22020 at 6:09:27 AM PST.
Received notification: 11/16/2020 at 1:36 PM PST.
Ordered: 11/16/2020 at 1:43 PM PST. (sorry i forgot check for & apply associate codes! was way too excited)
 
Removed notifications from the other 3070 cards (both signed up for at 6:10 AM PST) and the 3080 cards(10/6/2020 07:30 PM PST).
 
Best of luck everyone!

Congratulations; your wait is over!!!  I don't blame you for forgetting to use somebody's code...that email has bound to be exciting (I am convinced I am going to somehow sleep through and then discover it at 7:55 into my 8:00 window to purchase).  
 
Thank you both for reporting back to the thread. Enjoy your cards!!!

Wide open.  
 
Assuming :59 is about the end of this drop, you are likely within the next two drops (likely on the bubble between the two).  I think the congestion is actually going to get worse in the 6:01 to 6:10 time frame as frustrated F5ers leave the Best Buy and Newegg sites and check in at EVGA to make their auto-notify registration). 
 
In short, I think the queue is going to slow for the 3070s before it eventually speeds up.  Good luck (I hope the next drop is at least 38 seconds long)!

@EVGA_JacobF just tweeted in response to a question about an ETA for a 3070 XC3 Ultra drop, "Looks like next week on this model right now." 
 
Sorry I don't have better news.   
 
Edit: "But will have more" 3080 XC3 Blacks [this week].

Indeed, I think that's exactly what happened... 

Whatever is I can see the light at the and of the waiting tunnel.
What is most important, scalpers won't see a penny from me.

Just curious how the "estimate" column on the sheet is calculated? Not complaining at all, just curious.  The one I was looking at estimated I'd have an invite on 11/09 but we're about a week past that now.  Was it some extrapolation based on initial movement? In which case this would highlight that shipments slowed down?

It's estimated 

Duh.  But it is still CALCULATED from something.  No one went down the spreadsheet and manually made a guess in thousands of rows individually.

That queue is approximately 25 14 hours away from your date/time stamp.  I would think your name would come up within the next two drops.  Best of luck!
 
Edit: An errant self-report of "pm" vs "am" means that we need to pull back the head of the queue almost 12 hours.  I am sorry for any confusion and will send you a separate PM as well.

The spreadsheet completes a calculation based on past drops for that queue.  It is unreliable (and, in fact, I have never looked at that column as containing relevant data) and based on the limited subset of self-reported registrations on the spreadsheet; way too many variables.  See my note above for my best guestimate as to when you will get your email.  Good luck!!!

Any tips for snagging a card elsewhere? I've registered accounts at a few places, set up payment methods. I have windows open at the search results that I can refresh. A couple times I've come up on Newegg randomly when they had one available alone or as part of a combo, but both times they got snagged before I could finish checking out. Once on Best Buy I saw one available as an "open box item," but while I was deciding whether I wanted to take a risk on something someone returned, it was gone. It's become clear that email notifications are useless. Are there any good times of the day or week to check retailers? Like a more manageable window to sit and hit F5 over and over in besides all day?

If I had any GOOD advice to give, I wouldn't need to be watching on the wall for the queues to eventually get to my name.  Best of luck!

Oof, I'm still 5 days out (11/4) on the 3070 (XC3/black) and my hopes are waning to get a new gpu before '21 starts. I assume that queue is really front-loaded, hopefully it speeds up once the 10/29 orders are through.

It is, but not so front loaded that most of the registrations came in during the first 9 minutes.  Unfortunately, at an 11/4 registration for that card, you are almost definitely in the 2021 time frame.  I am sorry I do not have better news.  I would use this queue as a back-up but continue trying to source a card through other channels.  Best of luck!

I have a question that has probably already been answered a few times,  I'm sorry for not finding it.  I'm trying to decide what to do.  
I'm on the list for the following
3080 ftw  9/23 10:17am
3080 ftw ultra  9/23  10:17am
3070 ftw ultra email received today
As you can see I got the 3070 today but the card I really want is the 3080 based on my times and where I am at in the queue do you think it is worth it to order the 3070 then step up to the 3080 or sell my 3070 and use my 3080 queue position?  the current cards are my SLIed 970s.  
 
thank you for the help.

Cool. This is the latest time stamp I have seen for a 3080 FTW Ultra. The leftovers from the big drop last Thursday advanced the queue another full hour. I'm about 3.5 hours out now. I wouldn't call that close, but I am encouraged based on what has happened over the past few days. People are getting cards other ways and that will make the queue move faster as time goes on. It was crawling until we got into November, but now we are starting to see container ship sized drops vs. air drops. It will only get better from here.

Do EVGA call you to verify your phone number or anything? I dont have my phone on me at work.

I have not heard of that happening.  If you placed an order, you should get an email from them shortly thereafter confirming the order. 

Thanks newt

What I would like to know is when is the queue going to begin for the 3080 hydro copper? I would much rather have that than loud fans.

So, unfortunately, the "auto-notify" buttons for waterlogged cards briefly appeared Friday morning (PT time).  Then they disappeared.  I have come to learn that EVGA is doing the queues for the waterlogged cards a little differently: once EVGA had secured a number of "auto-notify" registrants equal/approximate (???...not sure which) to the number of water logged cards available in the first tranche, they shut off the auto-notify button.  From tweets and other indications, it sounds like they will turn back on the auto-notify button for those waterlogged cards when they have identified the size of the second tranche of those models (again for a brief period of time until registrations slots are filled). 
 
In short, there won't be an extended queue for those cards but rather bursts of auto-notify windows for each tranche.  That is as best as I can explain it in short hand.  I hope that is helpful.

Hey @enewt, thanks for the help yesterday. I looked a bit but am having issues getting the shared doc to open
 
Are you able to share where we are on the queue for these two cards?
