i guess evga clearly doesn't care about the msrp cards , since all i see are the ftw cards being the ones in the wild. 

Is EVGA closed tomorrow for MLK Jr. Day?

yes, you can sign up for more than one product (model). Each product seems to have its own queue and length. When its time you will receive an email for each product you signed up for. You cannot obviously sign up for same product twice.

I'm one day off so maybe this week?
🤔😇

Jesus...what is that?

Samsung Odyssey G9 gaming monitor
 
Been trying to score one myself, but have not had any luck other than scalper pricing.  There were plenty around before Christmas, but supply had dried up.  But I guess we are used to that around here, lol.

Yeah no **** 😒😑🙄
🤣😂😝

Badger monitor looks really good. I wish I had the money for that lol.

Also accurate, but I have mixed feelings. Having worked 7 years in retail, you have to find the best balance you can between giving your customers the best service, the best prices, and still make enough money to keep your job and keep your business open. As far as companies go, I would trust EVGA to walk that line with a fair amount of respect and regard for their customers more so than most. Some companies go too far with good pricing and good service. Don't believe me? Ask about BFG. Nvidia's unreliable GTX 295 (among other things) was partly to blame for BFG going under, but their great customer service and lifetime warranty were also costing them dearly. Notice next to no one offers lifetime warranties on such products anymore? Nvidia was also not giving BFG (or others) hardly ANY room for margin on their cards. (sound familiar?) So in this scenario we are in, EVGA is going to prioritize their more profitable SKUs. While it sucks for us, and we can be salty about it, the blame lies far more with Nvidia than it does with EVGA. Notice that EVGA is not the only company selling more expensive cards than MSRP-ish ones. Both of the discontinued notices I received from B&H that I shared here were for cheaper models, closer to MSRP - which I why I signed up for them! Both now discontinued, not that they ever existed in any serious numbers to begin with. Neither was EVGA. 
 
We can be frustrated with EVGA, and that is understandable, but the bulk of our ire should be directed toward crypto miner worshipping NVIDIA. They are literally SHAFTING everyone that's not a miner in order to cut out as many middlemen as possible on their path to profits. It's a free market. I get it. The issue I see with that is that they are sacrificing brand loyalty and long term stability in order to cash in on a quick buck. 
 
Of all the graphics card releases, THIS ONE is the one they LEAST needed to do that for. With how COVID changed the world, and the generational leap in performance Ampere provided, they could have sold the shiz out of them, making Best Buy, EVGA, other partner companies, and themselves loads of money, but that wasn't enough of them. The mining craze caught everybody off guard, and only a few were ready and able to cash in on the last one. They were READY for this one. AMD is fighting with pure paper right now, and Nvidia knows it. Hence the disappearing 3080ti and scant base model manufacturing. 
 
The only thing I'm really frustrated with towards EVGA specifically, is that I read more success stories and happy endings on Reddit and other forums about people just going to stores to buy cards than what we are getting with our enormous queue. Many of these success stores are people walking into a micro center or a best buy and walking out with an EVGA branded 3000 series card in their hands. I wish they would prioritize this queue more. I am not sure if they are meeting contractual minimums, or just going for more quick bucks a la Nvidia by doing so. Would be GREAT if somebody official would chime in and give us a little bit of reasoning behind the way things are going.
 
And I don't mean the canned responses about supply, demand, and COVID, etc.

I'm basically living this year in full YOLO mode, hence why I got the monitor, and the 3090 to begin with. lol
 

Time to triple them monitors then amigo :D

I know ultrawide would be fun for gaming, but it's hard for me to justify it. A nice 4k monitor can be found for great prices these days. There is a lot of selection. I wasn't even personally planning on going 4k with mine, but Sam's Club had their store display on clearance at a price I couldn't refuse: $132 for a 27" LG IPS monitor with Freesync. It has been an awesome display with excellent color and sharpness for my photo and video editing projects. For better or worse, I do less gaming on my system than all the other stuff I do. Sometimes I'll go for weeks without any gaming! Just not always a priority. I have a center 4k display (the LG) and two Samsung 22.5" screens on the sides. Eventually I'd like to have a 32" 4k display, but I want it to be OLED ideally, or QLED if still not feasible. I'd like something with better black levels. I tried out a 50" Vizio with Quantum dot tech. Boy, were those black levels great! Noticeably better than my 4k LG monitor. However, I just plain couldn't do 50" on my desk! I really hope we get some smaller screens with OLED. Samsung does make smaller QLED TVs, but unlike the Vizio, they don't (yet) have HDMI 2.1 for running faster refresh rates that the 3000 series cards are capable of. Once I finally get the 32" 4k monitor figured out some day, I'll rotate my side displays to portrait. One of my friends did that with his setup, and it looked amazing. It gives you loads of screen and desktop real estate while taking up less desk space than three horizontal monitors like I have now. 
 
Definitely happy for Dabadger84's new screen! I'm just not a curved screen kind of guy. I do like having triple monitors though. ;)

I don't think any regular person has the desk space for that.

To be honest, to me, 4K is the one that's hard to justify on a regular-sized PC monitor.  I don't see the point in having that many pixels on a 27" or even 32" screen.  For me, the Ultrawide before it, and now the Super Ultrawide, is as much about multi-tasking as it is immersive gaming.  
Keep in mind when/if you go for OLED that at the current technology level, it has burn in issues like the old Plasma TVs used to.  Unsure of when they'll solve that and when said solution would make it's way to PC display technologies.  
I used to run multi-monitor back in the days of having 2-3-or-4 GTX 580s in SLi, twas fun while it lasted for games like Battlefield 3... flying a chopper or fighter jet with "Surround" was amazing at the time.  The big monitor in the middle with 2 rotated smaller ones on the side is something I almost did but never got around to, I set my sights on ultrawide when it came out, and rolled around to one when the Alienware AW3418DW came out, glad I took the leap.
 
I agree with the sentiment that once you go Ultrawide you'll never go back, both for gaming & for multi-tasking, it's amazing to have it all on one screen... and I'll add to that, once you go curved gaming you'll not want to play on a flat panel again... I've heard a few people say they don't like curved displays, I can't really comment on curved 16 by 9 stuff since I've never even seen one in person, but the Alienware 34" was 1900R I believe, and this one is 1000R... and I personally prefer the tighter curve, I think it's actually easier on the eyes, once your brain adjusts to it, and immersive is putting it lightly.  It's almost like playing in VR without the VR headset, having such a wide display with such a curve on it.
 
 
Alright guys, IT'S MONDAY... YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...
 
May the drops be with us, my account is still ready to receive that sweet Kingpin order, here's hoping we get more than 6 fruggin' cards dropped this week for that SKU.

Im confused, your time stamp is like a month behind me for this card 11/29/20. How did you get sent a notification?

I would assume that they are meeting contract obligations and keeping long term merchants happy when they're sending cards to the major retailers.  They're going to make more money per card selling them to us directly at retail pricing than they get per card wholesale to NewEgg, Micro Center, Best Buy, etc.  So, short term, it would maximize profits to put every card into queue sales but, long term, that's probably not a winning strategy since each of us will buy one card once every few years and the retailers are buying thousands annually.  Each card not sold directly to us at retail has a reason behind why they're foregoing the additional short term profit.

Its a new week.... hoping the hybrid crew gets their drops this week!
