Thanks for the code too.... Hopefully it will come tomorrow since I paid for overnight shipping. Looks like the timeline has moved pretty good today. Last I checked we were just after noon on the 18th. I was after 9pm on the pacific coast.

Remember me?  Probably not.  Why would you?
 
I'm the guy who sent his 3080 FTW Ultra (3897) to his nephew (after my queue number was called a week or two ago) because we built him a computer (over the phone) all day on Christmas without a video card and I couldn't bear for him to be without a video card for weeks/months while the supply issues resolved.
 
Ha! . . . guess what. . . the one thing I thought that might help me out in getting my own (again) was that my nephew had told me that he too was in the EVGA queues so I could get his card when his turn eventually came.  A few days later though, with no news, I showed him how to check his queue status and asked him to check where he was.  It turns out. . . the only one he signed up for is the 3888 Hybrid model (I have no idea why, and sadly, it's not one I'd really want).  And he's four days back in the queue to boot.
 
So. . . my question:  How illegal would it be for me to break into my brother's house and steal back my video card?

P.S.  At least that's one we can scratch off the hybrid queue!

Illegal, possibly.  Immoral...not in my book.  
 
Thanks for the post; it made me laugh out loud and I woke up the cat.

Out of curiosity, have you entertained him getting the hybrid and you getting the original card? Just an idea to throw out there. I'm also assuming his card comes up before prices increase.

Well, I know that 3665 has advanced less than 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Yeah, it moved 13 minutes. Sadly 3665 is very limited

I'm at like 4:20 PM PST

I think you're stuck waiting. I must say, you're a better uncle than I am, LOL!

WaymongerOut of curiosity, have you entertained him getting the hybrid and you getting the original card? Just an idea to throw out there. I'm also assuming his card comes up before prices increase.

Honestly. . . I don't think he wanted the hybrid either.  I think he was just confused and/or being a standard (early) teenager when he went to go put in his notification.  When I told him it was the hybrid model he was as suprised as I was.
 
But, it's probably moot.  With four days to cover in his hybrid queue, I'll likely have sourced one I want by then.
 
My only real hope in the evga queues is the 3885 where I'm a couple hours back (this is under my own name, not my nephew).  But, with how they've been moving lately, that now looks like a matter of weeks rather than the days I'd hoped/expected when I sent the 3897 away.
 
Oh well. . . I'll just weep quietly.  ;)

Yikes.  The hybrids seem to be taking their own sweet time.  I hope it works out sooner rather than later.

Ah sorry... that's unlucky. Here's to hoping you luck out and the 3885 comes in quicker than anticipated.

I can't believe I picked what is probably the worst time in the history of PC building to build a new PC.

i know what you mean this is the biggest nvidia failure to date if you couldn't meet demand dont release products 

It is same for AMD as well. Take a look at their current CPUs and video cards.

No disrespect, but this statement makes little sense to me. Granted, this is a debacle, and if there is something to really complain about, it is the retailer's mitigation against scalpers but at the end of the day, thousands of cards have been sold and purchased.
 
To say that if they could not meet the demand that they should have not sold anything at all is silly at best. So, instead of selling some, sell none? This situation is frustrating but let's not forget that nVidia is in the business of making money. If you are a business owner selling a new product are you telling me that unless you could fulfill every order that you would not sell anything at all?

I know that's right.

Someone in a discord chat posted this:
 
asus representative "prices for motherboards are going up in price right now, and another GPU price increase down the line, also the Chinese new year has been bad for production and to not expect any major GPU drops over the entire of February going into march"

... which will no doubt bring another super spreader event in China, leading to even more delays. More and more, I am facing the fact, my good old 1080 will need to keep going for another year. I don't see any hope of getting a card through normal channels in any reasonable foreseeable future.
