It's been a long while since I've posted. Anyway, just got back to rebuilding/upgrading my computer after roughly 5 years of absence. I was a little surprised that there is a huge wait list for the video cards, but it make sense because of the supply shortages.
 
Got lucky in my search and found a Evga 3090 FTW3 Ultra at a local Central Computers store. At first, I called 2 stores to verify stock before going. The first store that I called had 3 in stock, but required me to purchase at least 2 or 3 more other computer components, such as mb, cpu, and something else in order to sell it. As I've already purchased the mb and cpu from somewhere else, I don't see a point going there. Then I called the other store and the rep told me that they had only one in stock at the store and ready for purchase, without the need to buy any additional stuff. That's the place that I went to get the card. So far, I'm happy with my upgrades :)

Congrats & enjoy the card!

I hate to be a seagull, but I'm gonna be a bit of a seagull.  (swooping in unwanted, and pooping all over things)
 
There's some nasty log math needed here, and while there may be enough public data to figure it out, I really don't know where one would begin.
 
The massive number of front-loaded notifies resulting in seconds of movement, and now we are in a point where we see hours, because the overall volume is diminished.  There's another upcoming (expected) glut of notifies from 10/5 (as enewt has reminded us regularly) so we could drop back into the seconds again.
 
Calculating a daily average (as you have done) can go a long way to normalize for the purposes of getting an average, but that is a flat rate that I don't think will scale, due to the lack of uniformity in the notification registration times.
 
Then, on top of all of this, it must be considered that production may be slowly ramping up, scalping purchases should be slowing as most of the high wealth low patience customers have probably already been served.
 
Irregular notification counts to churn through, diminishing demand, increasing production rates.  I applaud anyone trying to take on such a nasty bit of calculus absent input variables for total number of requested cards/outstanding demand, and a solid estimate on flow rates of incoming stock.
 
IMO, Enewt is providing the most absolute bestest possible method of tracking this (until Jacob sneaks him a dump of the queue DB with the model number and request date fields)

  My queue time was around 9:15AM, so I just barely squeezed in to the "second" part of the second-first batch,

Well glad yours is on it's way, that's awesome.   I got onto the recent Auto-notify at 9:20am even though I started refreshing at 8:58am lol.    It literally was a dead page from 8:58 to exactly 9:20am when the page FINALLY appeared and I hit that notify button as fast I can humanly could.
 
It boggles my mind that many got in at 9:08am etc
 
Ah well, the camping is over. It's nice to know I'm on the list and it doesn't need my watchful presence anymore.

I looked to see if EVGA had such a list but never found it, does a list exist or do we need to just buy a card/register it and try to apply for step up?
Thanks

yea, the hardware unboxed fiasco reconfirmed to me nvidias crappy business and marketing philosophies.  As someone that works with influencers in a different industry, it truly is a poor response from nvidia. Maybe between unboxed and now jay likely to be blacklisted, perhaps someone would speak up.
 
agree with what you said, but I really hope nvidia doesn’t expand the ti line anytime soon, especially when so many people likely won’t be able to get any cards until months into the new year, if at all

Hopefully this is something that was being directed by the particular jerko Jay called out by name during his video, the guy that's their product director or whatever, and he eventually loses his job... if it's the company's viewpoint as a whole, that is really bad.
Like Jay said, I would compare this to the ridiculous practices the likes of Apple has - I consider Apple to be one of the most evil companies on the planet for many, many legitimate reasons - so that's not a good comparison to be put in.
 
I'm just glad that eVGA is being as helpful & transparent as they can be, without ruffling feathers on the NVidia end of things, to get us cards in every way they can & take care of real customers first.

If I purchased my 3070 on Friday does it come with a free game promo?

Hello, I'm a bit new to this. I put in for a 3881 on 9/17/2020 at 6:18:22 PM PT.
Based on my understanding, I am 15 hours, 14 minutes and 22 seconds away from the queue.
 
Anyone have a rough estimate or loose guidance on when I may see a notification? (Days/weeks/months?)
Thanks a bunch, and best of luck to all.

and you’re actually 27 hours from the latest queue position . They dont make Black cards as much as ultra and ftw3 ultra so it’ll take a while. I suggest you sit back relax and come back in a month or so
