Wow the notification time period went instantly (kingpin). It maybe was up for a minute at most

Surprised I am not, scalpers know full well they'll make $3k+ on these, and there were also a LOT of legitimate members that wanted one.

You mean $1k profit?  They aren't going to sell these things for $5k, are they?

I think I scored a 3090FE via Bestbuy.  Got a Paypal confirmation, and also see that Bestbuy is preparing for pickup on Nov 27th.  hmmm....

Congrats to those that got their cards ^_^ 

thanks buddy.  I'll wait just little bit until I'm 100% certain it's inbound, and then I'll cancel all of my mail notifications.

Please remember: We are the queue; "this is the way."

Well atleast I got my PS5. It makes waiting for a 3080 a little bit easier.

I've been saying exactly this for over a month, no way this supply issue will be sorted before March 2021 at least, glad we're getting confirmation. lol

So do you guys think everyone who was actually able to enter the notify this morning for the kingpin will be in the first round of cards on the 15th?

I do believe they're doing them same way they're doing the Hybrid cards I.E. everyone that got in queue this morning will get a card shipped on release day.

Eeeeeh I doubt it.  Maybe $4k. lol

I just counted 34 3090's on Amazon starting just under $2k.
 
Times are changing. If nothing else, the market for over-priced cards is shrinking. A couple weeks ago any 30-series card wouldn't last for more than a few seconds. Now they are sticking around.

yeah the price for 3080s seems to have drifted down to 1100ish.  soon it wont be worth it at all

Where are you seeing them for 1100? I just scrubbed amazon almost all of them are 1300+. On ebay they seem to be selling for ~1200 for EVGA,

Oh that's cool. Means I'll be in on that.

This feels like a "straggler morning".  Hopefully we get something bigger this afternoon. 
 
Let's go get those cards!

 
Any update on this list guys?

*  One source reported a date/time stamp of 10/06/2020 at 10:15 am.  If true, that would comprise a big jump that we would normally see with a “sizable” drop.  Given that today’s drops appeared to be straggler cards from prior days’ drops, this data point is likely an erroneous outlier.  Hopefully we will know Monday morning when we are scheduled to receive a massive drop across all card models (a guy on a cold, cold wall yearning for his watch to come to an end can dream...right?).  I would obviously love to be wrong on this being an errant data point.
 
Today was notable for finally breaking into the 3070 XC3 Ultra drops!  While we celebrate this achievement, we note that it comes at a shared expense, most notably the dragging of dragomirc by the EVGA Drop Master.  @dragomirc, we salute your sacrifice.  [Seriously, I really hope Monday brings you some good news on this front.]
 
Have a great weekend.  Get outside.  Reintroduce yourself to your family.  Beg forgiveness from your pets.  Call your parents.  Be safe and stay upright. 
 
We go again on Monday!

I can't believe I finally gave in and got a Twitter account. Why? Because there is no other way to get the most current info about card drops. I'm going back and forth right now about whether or not I should buy an air cooled 3080 even though it's not the card I really want. I'm less than 2.5 hours away in the queue for a 3080 FTW Ultra. That means I am most likely 1-2 drops away from getting an email. Probably the latter unless there is a HUGE drop around Thanksgiving week. I'm thinking early December, but this is where things get dicey. The queue for the 3899 (the card I really want) is supposed to open up in December. If I can get on that queue before I get my 3897 email all will be right in the world. If the hybrid queues open up later in December I will be, well, you know, it begins with an "f" and ends with a "d".
 
If anyone hears anything about hybrids and what the queue process will be like, please PM me. I don't want an air cooled card, but I also don't want to let it go if all I end up doing is chasing rainbows made of 3080 HC's that never materialize. I don't like these open-and-shut queues where you have to be ready to tap keys on the keyboard between 6:00:00 and 6:00:47 AM or you're a$$ out. I don't care if I have to wait until March to get a 3080 HC. I just want to get on a queue so I know that one will come to me eventually. Also, it seems dumb that they would make such a limited number of them that only about 10% of people who want one can ever get one. You would think they would at least satisfy the initial demand. I have heard rumors that the hybrids will be sold in very limited quantities. Why? Again, seems dumb when the goal is to make money.
