It would, however, be nice to get some official word from EVGA that the queues *are moving* - at least for the EU market (some 250-300m people!) - which is on "eu.evga.com" as opposed to "evga.com"
Right now we can see from the empirical evidence that we have, that the queues are moving for the US market. People are getting emails, fulfilling their orders and signing off - hopefully happy with their products?
 
For the EU market, to the best of my knowledge not one person (not one?!) seems to have gotten the same. Myself included and I'm down for the 3090 FTW Ultra since 9/24. 
 
I don't think it unreasonable to get some kind of reassurance to "hang in there, we'll get to you!". I don't mind the wait, but...... you know..... :-) 
 
My preference is  to order via evga's own website, ideally utilizing someones associate code here, to give something back to the community.

is EVGA ever planning to make/ship any lower end 3080 XC3 skus? I've been on the notification list for a 3080 XC3 Black and XC3 Gaming since the morning day one (9/17 ~ 7am). 
 
I understand that they prioritized the high price skus at first, but to not have any movement on these skus for over 3 months is a bit much.

Nobody in this thread will have any concrete, verifiable information about upcoming drops or inventory levels.  But, my opinion is that we are unlikely to see a huge deviation from the historical practice we've witnessed over the last three plus months.  Ultras will get priority over Gaming Blacks and Gaming skus seems to be AWOL (except in the 3060 family).

there's a big difference between "priority" and "ignore".
 
they haven't shipped any 3080 Black/Gaming models to the queue. If we see progress on it at least that would be one thing, but there's nothing.
 
and I'm aware that most forum members wont have inside info. the post is more just venting, and giving the "[employee]_EVGA" lurkers another post to ignore like they always do.

Enewt what's your associate code for when they do drop? (Tried sending you a PM but it said I wasn't authorized or something)

Overall, and I've had a look at some manufactures out there and EVGA seems to be about the best in supporting this queuing system, but some extra visibility would be great here. I'm not talking much either. I'd love to know numbers, but don't expect that - and understand why they won't want to share but improving visibility here may even bolster/improve their market dominance (even further) - win win.

If the last 3080 Black notification was for 9/17 and my notification was input on 9/22, does that mean I'm pretty close to getting the email to purchase or still possibly a month out-ish? Thanks for any insight. I'm trying so hard not to give in and purchase a *way above MSRP* 3080.

But I remain thankful that EVGA is taking the added burden of running the queue system in the first place...lots (read: "all") of their competitors are not.  And, yes, there is always room for improvement.  But I can also work on improving my own patience too, I guess.

True, but my concern is more around seeing if there was a way to figure out if the EU queue is moving *at all*. I seem to remember the queuing system back in 2018 when the 2000 series card came out, so it should have been around the block, but it wouldn't be the first time that a bug has crept into some piece of functionality. Again, this goes back to visibility and transparency. It's great (read "smashing actually") that the community has reversed engineered the queues by collectively amassing the information that we all individually had, but wondering what could be done better. 
 
No, I don't have the answers either - but remain hopeful and optimistic that my turn will come soon.

I joined the notify queue September 22nd.   Thinking I would have to wait a couple weeks to get a new 3080 card.   It’s now Jan 4th 2021.  Still no email...  :(  I don’t think I’ve ever been so let down before.

which 3080?

10G-P5-3897-KR.    The FTW Ultra Gaming card.

I have little hope left to be honest.

New Models are released, new queue is started, old ones are not filled rinse and repeat.

That is the pattern EVGA is following, at some point they have to actually tell us if the old models are dead.

Then maybe they will offer the new models to the folks waiting since 9/16.

It would be nice to be wrong.




 

ya know, eVGA doesn't make the GPU chips...it goes with what NV ships to it.
 
It's not a pattern that eVGA is following, it's a path that's been laid out for it.
 
Stop blaming eVGA.

Do you know where the queue is at?  the spreadsheet posts are usually not very accurate.

Chip availability has nothing to do with Evga allocating very little to the queue. The queue has been a ****show and it all could have been avoided easily. 

You have no way of knowing how little is being allocated to the queue, unless you have some internal numbers you're not sharing with anyone.

Sorry was distracted by like the 10th Evga drop of 3090 FTW cards in the last 2 weeks on amazon just now, just like the daily drop on Newegg and worldwide while the queue gets like next to nothing.

Was there a roadmap for today?
