I hope not. That’s not really fair for the rest of us that are waiting for FTW3, and submitted a notification request early.

There will be shipments of XC3s next week according to Jacob.

The entire queue system is literally not fair.
The only people happy about it are people among the first to sign up on the 17th.
Everyone else is just stuck waiting until December - January for our purchase emails.
The queue system should have only began AFTER Jacob made the announcement about it. Ridiculous to go all the way back weeks prior to that when no one had the slightest clue that it would be your place in line for a card. Lots of people didn't/don't bother with auto notify because it either fails to send at all or sends way too slow.

More fair than losing to bots and scalpers. You notice how many real gamers have been posting EVGA cards lately? It's all because of the queue system.

Absolutely not, and quite frankly you're the reason why (no offense). Two weeks ago you were complaining that Elite members had their own sales. So what did you do? You took your week old account and spammed your way to the post limit. I'm sure you'd be perfectly fine with "Elite" only cards now, right? Do you feel like an Elite member of the community? (again, no offense and nobody blames you)
 
Point being: announcing how they were going to distribute would be the absolute worst thing they could do. At least with this methodology they guarantee it could not be taken advantage of. And if you ask me, it's a nice little nod to those of us who have been here a long time since we've been analyzing and using the notify system for a decade to get our drops.

I signed up for notify on the FTW3 Ultra 9/19 evening and I super happy about the queue.

Most everyone is happy and thankful for the queue except for the ones who were to lazy to take the few seconds to sign up, and now they want those who did to step aside and let them cut.

Literally no one said squat about letting anyone cut.

LOL right.... 'literally' - maybe not in those exact words, but being obtuse about it isn't going to convince anyone.

Uhhh...ok.

Dude he's right, you should just stop your complaining. It is what it is, so just be thankful that we have a system in place that removes the scripts and bots. If you don't like it move on.

He's right that I said I want to cut someone's place in line? Looking back over my posts and can't seem to see where I said that.

Ok folks. Can we move on now? You all have offered various opinions and it is appreciated. Time to move on and get back to the wonderful programs offered by EVGA so the majority of folks can get GPU's without being robbed on fleabay and or by bots.

Is there any way that we can see what place in line we are?

I’ve read every post on this topic and I think EVGA has done an admirable job in trying to get these graphics cards into the hands of consumers who are actually going to use them. The only thing about the system that concerns me is that someone could potentially buy one of each sku if they happened to sign up for notifications for all the different cards. There should be some way to limit purchases to one 30 series card per account/email. I realize that MOST of the folks on here are just looking to get one card for their own use, but given the opportunity to get more than one without having to do anything but respond to an email invite could be a bit too tempting for some. I would have no problem with the queue system automatically canceling all my other notifications for 30 series cards on my account once I receive an invitation and place my order. This would also release those cards immediately for others instead of having an eight hour wait before they are released. Personally, once I get the card I want, I’m going to ignore any future notifications to purchase (I am currently signed up for three different sku’s, all on the first two days after release). I’m just not so confident that others won’t be tempted to get multiple cards (potentially for resale) if the opportunity to get more than one just dropped in their laps. Just throwing in my two cents worth...

1. Sales are sales. Think of how many times a "Widget" has been released and resold for twice the retail value. Nearly every hot product, like ever.
2. Those that would do this, need $8200 for the 3090's and $3825 for the 3080's. So roughly $12,025 in retail cost (Not overinflated value). The "Overinflated" value of those diminish pretty fast when the next variants are announced. Notice I said announce, not released. So it would be a pretty big gamble. 
3. And even if they purchased them and then turned around and sold them. Because they are EVGA purchased GPU's, the warranty remains.
4. Folks deeper into the calendar may be able to buy one of these GPU's at the retail price from an honest person, sooner than waiting for their email to arrive. And so on.
