What really baffles me is that EVGA still let people use notify button knowing that they will never be able to fulfill it. For last 4 months people still singing for cards when they didn’t finish 1 day yet. 4000 series cards will show up before someone signed today gets their card.

This sounds pretty entitled. Go do the Newegg lottery then. At least you don't have to worry about the "first come, first serve" rule.

Apparently 3080 FTW3 Ultra notifies today.... but I haven't seen any movement on the crowd sourced google sheets :(

It was a straggler drop.  I've found a grand total of 2 reports of the 3080 FTW3 Ultra today.

Any idea of the timestamps on these notifies?

I just got notified and ordered a 3070 (08G-P5-3755-KR 10/29/2020 8:29:33 PM PT).  Can't PM anybody to update the sheet since I haven't made enough posts.

Congratz on your new card

EVGA has tried it both ways.  They've gotten complaints for having the auto-notify button lit even though it will take months to satisfy the already-existing queue.  And they have tried turning on the auto-notify button for certain skus (the waterlogged hybrids and the KPE) only when they anticipate having inventory within a few weeks to satisfy those that would register through the button.  In either case, they received complaints from consumers.  Either folks wanted to click-through, knowing that it would be months...but not wanting to worry about getting on a list anymore, OR they only wanted to sign up if there was a realistic chance of getting a card in the very near term....
 
I don't blame them for keeping the button lit...seems like a reasonable choice when some portion of the community is going to be pissed either way....

This. Having the queue and auto notify available is just better than not. Yes it gives some people a false sense of hope but it serves more people in a good way. Just being able to know there will be a card coming to you at some point is better than not. You can still go looking elsewhere in the mean time if you want. But knowing you don't have to is good too. I get it that it sucks if you feel like you signed up for something that never happens but it will eventually happen and better to have it than not. As time has gone on it's just gotten worse as more people sign up but GPU availability is still low.

“Entitled”? I’m just “baffled”. Not the same.

Hoping for a big Friday

Great News! Bitcoin value took a hit. Maybe the gamers will now have a better chance at the hardware.

Hello Dudes and Dudettes,
 
I received my notification
08G-P5-3751-KR   10/29/20  9:13:55 AM EST

Whoops, got tripped up on the EST time...grrrr it moved mere seconds, not hours, Darnit!

Ethereum is down around 25% since its highest level on Tuesday... keep crashing....keep crashing...

I mean with enough cryptocoin doesn't matter how much it fluctuates lol and we all know how good 30 series are at making it

The 30s are (luckily) really power thirsty, so unless you have access to free energy there is a point where you will never make the crazed scalped prices back in a reasonable time frame. Another 30% decrease and I'm guessing cards wont go directly to miners.... not that that happens... Right?

Edit: SIX?  REALLY?!? :(

Looks like they had 8 for the self-reported list...which probably means around 15 units....

My brain does not comprehend how it's possible that a month of production resulted in 8-15 units, even if they're holding that many back for RMAs... 30 in a month?  There's no way Kingpin yield is THAT low, that'd be ridiculous... not to mention the first two drops were over 100 cards. Each.

Dude, if we did work like these clowns then none of us would have a job. It's pathetic at best. They are clearly purposefully trickling out stock to make people want it more.

it would need to drop under 300 usd an eth coin to be not worth buying these 3080's and 3060ti cards

if yesterday nobody wanted to buy them, and today nobody wanted to buy them, perhaps tomorrow will have 3 days worth of stock in it, and we'll see 3897s raining down for hours.

My apologies for this. I get tired of hearing people complaining about how the Notify queue is terrible. There is some hope with it. I'd rather have this queue the way it is rather than EVGA doing intermittent Notify queues when they have availability. Then you're coming back every so often to try to queue up before thousands of other people each time. There's plenty of that on other sites right now.

Agreed with the queue at least there's something to look towards the other end is

- new egg's overpriced forced bundles and attempts to stopping bots akin to using a kleenex to stop a dam break then this bot lottery cause you know, no one would make multiple accounts
- Best buy and schrodinger's card, the card is both in and not in your cart as it's both in and out of stock for an order that both online only and can't be picked up within 250 miles
- Amazon is....
- microcenter which is a crap shoot I mean according to the last facebook ad EVERYTHING is in stock, [X to doubt] I have a buddy who went to one by him after seeing it instock online only to get there and they had none.  He went karen mode so hard one materialized, apparently some microcenters are letting employees hold cards.
- B&H which I appreciate they remind me that the card I have notifies for is still not in stock.

This is the closest thing to a sure thing you can get, it's not perfect but with the alternatives...

Out of curiosity, has the XC3 3080's moved at all this year? (3885, 3883, 3881)?
