I wish they still sold them and still put the ports on stuff

TBF this thread is to discuss the queue system, which unfortunately this ridiculous line of conversations does.
 
It evolved in to people keeping an eye on their queue position etc, but that was not the original purpose of the thread.

Me too because I have one & it's basically useless. lol Cool memories though, I should contact Vince & see if he wants it :-P It's in really good condition because I didn't use it that much after it was all said & done, the i5 760 (if memory serves) I had for the P55 Classified wouldn't clock very high.

With everything going into BIOS and Windows based OC tools. I guess anything hardware based was going to die someday o_o
 
I wonder if KingPIn has access to special external tools to boost his clock higher.

I just smarted up and blocked him. No need to have the same idiocy repeating almost daily ad nauseam

Exactly. Let it go. They make Justin happy and a couple others by combining the queue and by doing so they make the majority angry. Would that make sense? No.

this!

I don't agree with merging the queues because if that happens many people in the queue's won't see a card for probably 6 months plus if the current trend continues.

And that is a fair concern, but it also reflects the reality of nVidia's stock situation and why more people should be against the proposed 3080Ti/3070Ti cards rumored for early next year, as these cards use existing chips that could be allocated to 3090/3080 (GA102) or 3060Ti/3070 (GA104) cards that are still in high demand.  Merging of the queues would result in a temporary stall for October sign-ups, but once the remaining launch sign-ups are cleared, the queue should move far quicker for everyone with reduced SKUs being made.
 
Your concern is valid, but now the question is, what would you propose EVGA do regarding those SKUs still stuck on launch day from September?  If they prioritize making those cards, it means winding down production on yours, which pushes your delivery back anyway.
 
There is no good solution that'll satisfy everybody, unfortunately, but maintaining the status quo doesn't seem like it would be acceptable either.  The benefit of these forums and threads is we can propose alternatives and compromises that EVGA might prefer and make everyone happier, even if we can't satisfy everyone.

If you already ordered the liquid block, I would honestly say stick with what you have coming - because there are no blocks for the Kingpin yet, and they'll be very niche if they come out at all, since it is a very-limited run card.
 
Not that I WANT you not to get the Kingpin cuz that'll move the queue forward another spot & get me one step closer to GPU Armageddon Doomsday...
 
*Eureka moment* are the NVLink bridge connectors in the same spot on the Hybrid & Kingpin cards?.... no I can't do that, and I especially can't spend $80 on a NVLink bridge for a few days of testing. lol

ok, I am puzzled by something here. This focus on drop time. Wouldn't that only be relevant if ALL the times were filled up?  I'm guessing all it really shows is that you are nearing your time but it really depends on the number of people ahead of you and we have no way of knowing that. The post above is "35 minutes away" - that could mean as little as 1 person ahead in line or 2,100 people if they signed up at the rate of 1/sec.
 
I expect this whole exercise is meant to give us something to do while we wait - not a complaint - just an observation.

Correct.
 
3888 has been stuck at 12/10 9:08:45-52 for a good day or 2... first known person to get on the notify list was 9:08:15ish and get a notify to buy that same day.  I'm not holding my breath since i'm 9:09:35.  Who knows how many people are between my time and 9:08:52.  But my time will come and i'm willing to wait that long.
