The first 3 hours is usually when we get people coming in saying they got a email. after that its people who just got back from work and just just his email.

Imagine getting high and drunk. pass out get the email. wake up 10 hrs later. GG

Just pulled the trigger on a Kingpin, thanks again enewt for everything you're doing.
 
If anyone is interested, I  just listed the 24G-P5-3978-KR I purchased last Friday (back on page 488 of this thread) on eBay:

OOOO! I wonder how many 3898 dropped. 9:07 yesterday. Hopefully third batch around January.

There could be another batch of those next week before eVGA closes up on the 23rd.
 
 

Yo, I'm like 9:12 AM for 3898. Am I likely to get one in this batch or the next batch??

Where's the 3080 ftw3 hybrid at 09:??:??

It would not be possible to swap your queue position with another card. People who signed up before you for that card would get screwed. Next time you will know to just sign up for every SKU right when they become available.

Stop spamming this misleading nonsense.  Why should someone who signed up in October get priority over someone who has queued since launch, just because they shotgunned every SKU out there while the other person pragmatically queued only for what they needed?  For that matter, why should we reward the later sign-up with a card earlier when it's EVGA's fault they even opened sign-ups for cards they knew they wouldn't make until next year?
 
Enough with the FYGM attitude.  You signed up later, you should get your card later, full stop.

Yeah I don't understand why these people want queue swapping so bad. Sign up for every one, you know this is going to be a difficult item to get. Look at every other major tech release and tell me you thought oh I'll sign up for 1 thing at 1 place and I'll be good.

They are the ones that see the other line moving faster at the bank and so they jump over and say "well this was my spot in that line. So I deserve a spot here in this line."

Because we signed up for the card that fit our needs, not shotgunned every SKU out of sheer greed.  Maybe because the card we signed up for was the only one that fit our case, or because we don't have the thermals to support a stock overclock.  Maybe we didn't need the metal backplate because we're doing our own liquid OC loop, or maybe we don't have three slots open for a FTW3 card.  Maybe we wanted the FTW3 design, but with lower clocks for better thermals.  There's a myriad of reasons people sign up for one specific queue over others, but that shouldn't even matter.
 
Our beef isn't that other queues are moving faster, it's that ours aren't moving at all relative to the others.  3883 still isn't moving, and 3881 and 3895, let's face it, likely won't clear 9/16 before the end of December (though I hold out hope otherwise).  EVGA let us sign up for SKUs they knew they wouldn't make in serious volume this year, said nothing about it, and left us to figure it out over three months of waiting in total silence.  That's why we want a queue merge or queue swap: they misled us into products they weren't going to make, and the fair thing to do would be to apologize, and give us the option of paying the premium for an Ultra card in the XC3 or FTW3 lineup that they are making.
 
Seriously, this FYGM entitlement drives me nuts.  It's not welcome or helpful.

People should realize that they would be taking someone else's place in line. Not cool

 
No, we wouldn't.  We already have a spot in line, it's just not being manufactured in any significant volume based on currently available data.  It would just be moving a line they weren't addressing anyway into an existing queue for a product they are making.  Your spot wouldn't change, it's just that those who were already ahead of you in another line would actually get a chance at completing their purchase.  Heck, the line we're moved into would end up moving faster since they wouldn't have to split available chips between as many SKUs.

What are you talking about bro? This is the most non-sense post in this thread. Maybe try upping your reading comprehension skill
 
 
Every queue is a separate line

Take a deep breath.. or maybe a few. Complaining and being upset isn't going to get you a card any faster than being patient and going on with your life.
 

Long time listener, first time caller.
 
The refresh 5 different websites game is so defeating. Drove by local Microcenter for work an hour before open- 15 dudes lines up. Went back around noon they did have a Asus Tuf 3070 I passed on, perhaps foolishly. I’ve only bought EVGA cards for the last 10 years so I’ll continue holding out for a 60 or 70 ultra or ftw3. My best poised one to see a card anytime soon based on the queue:

IKR. This entire thing is so intense.
 
My wife's talking about a f****ng Peloton. I need this card that she already approved on before she changes her mind and put her annual reward first before mine.

I really havent seen drama like this before. lol :)

Signed up for the card that fit your needs and now you want a different card because you don't wanna keep waiting? I think you're the entitled ones here. 

At the time of launch, EVGA offered a total of five 3080 SKUs for sale.  They allowed sign-ups on all SKUs, and made no mention that some SKUs would see production before others, or that future SKUs would take precedence over pre-existing ones (like the Hybrids).  At the time, many of us signed-up for the card that best fit our specific circumstances, whatever they may be. 

 
In reality, EVGA stopped production on three of those queues immediately following launch day, and really only continued making the higher end Ultra cards in any significant volume.  That's fine, because when a company has limited supply, of course they're going to direct it towards the highest margin products.  Where they screwed up is in not communicating this to those who signed-up for SKUs they were not going to make in any serious volume or capacity until 2021.  They misled us into thinking our spots in the queue would be fulfilled at a similar rate to the others, when in reality major drops of 3881 didn't occur until late November, and 3895 only started dropping in December; 3883 still hasn't made a move past 9/16 pre-release.
 
This is where our grievance is.  It's not that we don't have a card, it's that we feel tricked into signing up for cards EVGA knew they wouldn't meet the demand of, let alone make until much later in the year, if at all.  Given EVGA's screwup, a fair compromise would be to offer the option of paying a premium, if we choose to, to get a card they are making sooner, now that we know what the manufacturing situation actually is.  If they'd been forthright with that information at or before launch, I suspect the sign-ups would've been vastly tilted in favor of cards actually being made as customers weighed a potential compromise of obtaining a card sooner and making the required adjustments after arrival versus getting the ideal card they originally wanted at a later date.
 

Brewer312
Quit ****ing and wait.

If you don't like what I have to say, then I believe the forum has a block user feature you can use.  Otherwise, I believe I'm making valid points about EVGA's mishandling of the situation and am still trying to get an official statement from them about those affected queues.

So let me get this straight - because you signed up for whatever on launch day back in sept, and I waited until the hybrids became available to queue, you should be able to buy a hybird before me because I did exactly what you are advocating and only signed up for what I wanted?

Wait. If I'm the next person to be helped by the cashier but the cashier happened to be Chad, my bully in highschool.. I'm entitled to go to the next cashier and demand to be helped right away instead of going all the way back in to the back. Is this what's being argued here? We Karen now guys?
