So, I cancelled my notifications and re-signed up (wasn't aware of the queue system at the time) AFTER changing my email address. Do I still have my original place in the queue under these circumstances or did I screw myself over? lol
I doubt anyone here knows for sure but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask before emailing evga.

If you cancelled your auto-notify registrations, I think they are gone.... That said, you can call EVGA customer care, but I think they are unlikely to reinstate your registrations. But, hope springs eternal....

My parents are out of town and the battery on their thermostat died causing pipes and things to freeze here in MN. So I can understand some of the pain experienced by folks in TX.
On a side note, EVGA support came through and order placed. Should have my 3070 here soon.
Congratulations on your new 3070! Thanks for reporting back to the thread. Very sorry to learn about the frozen pipes; I am not familiar with that headache, but it sounds tremendously frustrating. I hope they can get it sorted quickly. Your watch is quickly coming to a successful conclusion; thanks again for being part of this thread community.

Thanks!! I do love the system that EVGA implemented for ordering 30 series cards. Makes it a LOT easy and almost 100% stress free compared to others. Thankfully I had signed up before a price increase was announced, so that worked out great as well.

In Texas, it's so cold in people's apartments and houses that the water in their toilets have been freezing.
Can you imagine having to sit on that in the morning?
Glad I can stand!
Hearing about other people's misery makes waiting for an RTX-3080 less distressing.
Appreciate the sympathy! I left Idaho expecting TX to be warm, but now, it feels a lot like Idaho, except folk here aren't really used to this kind of weather, or prepared for it. The infrastructure isn't either. I've been lucky enough to have heat, but we burst pipes earlier today, so we've been without water, and likely won't have any water until tomorrow. Looks like the internet is at least still working!!

We have made some changes to the checkout process for EVGA.com 30 Series orders. Now we are using a queue based notification system.
To sign up, use the notification button on the product you would like to be notified for. For everyone who already used the notify button previously, you are already entered. Once product is available (and it is your turn to purchase), you will receive a secure email that will allow you to purchase the product that you received a notification for. Please note that you have 8 hours to place your order, if your order is not complete within 8 hours, the product will be released back into queue system.
I can't believe how many of you ALL need to SERIOUSLY go see an optician IMMEDIATELY or go back to school to learn how to read. He said 8 hours in his text, which I used the "quote button" to copy & paste here. SO please correct all your posts to reflect 100% of what he actually said & NOT what you think he said.

Go back to the first page & read some of the members posts after Jacob's. They started saying & quoting him as having said 5 hours vice the actual 8 he posted.
I can't believe how many of them posted 5 hours which proves beyond any doubt my post about them going to an optician or back to school to learn how to read. :)

It was initially a 5 hour window, before it was changed to 8, BTW. So earlier post would have mentioned 5 instead of 8

This is new to us Texans. So far my house has been lucky but my brother lost water and electricity, and my parents lost their electricity. I'm wondering if this weather is effecting EVGA since there was no word on drops today (or at least I didn't see any message from Jacob about drops). .... No matter where you guys live, stay warm and stay safe. It's icy roads here.

Got the EK unit in (and it is an absolute unit, hefty hefty), debating if I want to bother with assembly tonight or just wait until tomorrow. Wanna do it right now do it fast so not in a big hurry to get'er done.
Main thing I gotta keep in mind is doing the tubes a bit too long is actually better :-D
I'm glad I missed the craziness of the thread again, I like my posts not being permanently hidden from being #Modded lol

Well, they said the water would be back on, but it's still not. They can't get it to stop leaking. Ugh... at least I still have electricity, for which I am very grateful.

People take basic crap like that for granted especially in bigger cities, power being reliable (which in reality, it is not, all it times is some moron drunk driving in to a pole out here & we out unless it's day time & our solar is rockin'), and having clean water (which with how much water cleanliness regulations have been rolled back all over the place since before Flint happened, is being assumed as much as it is taken for granted) are sadly not at all guaranteed in what is supposedly one of the richest countries in the world.
But, I'm not gonna get in to politics too much - what's going on in Texas is sad & ridiculous, at least 2 entire families (or almost the entire family) have died because of the outages, one from carbon monoxide poisoning trying to heat their house with their car, and another using a fireplace to heat their house when the power was out resulting in a fire at night. Feel for those people's family members.

In northern MN we had 12 straight days under -10f for a high. We had 7 days under -30 for a low, including a couple of -40. Even though we are "ready" for these temps, peoples pipes froze and people lost power. What's really weird is that it was 8 above today and actually felt colder than it did at -20.
I lived in the south as a kid and understand that southern states aren't ready, but bad ice storms are like a thursday in April for us.
Keep active, stay warm and avoid alcohol is the best advice I can give.

here's my pet peeve... I went to ebay to look at EVGA 3070 model 3755 cards. Found a seller that had sold 17 cards and still had one in stock. He sold each card for $1899. Here we are waiting forever to get a card at a price that most of us can barely afford, and here is this dude ripping people off because he can. I just hope NVIDIA and EVGA can get to the production point where everyone can get what they want.

I know this is off topic, but just to provide an answer to those who are curious about Texas and this weather. We're used to 100+ degree weather, not zero degree weather. The problem is that Texas is not suited to handle the power draw that it's experiencing. When it gets cold here, it usually last two days. This is very freakish weather for us. The governor said that the power company will be investigated. The power company said on the news that it was ready for the weather, in which it wasn't. The issue with the water varies. Fort Worth issues were from the water plants shutting down from the outage. Boiling is a precaution just in case there's issues with the water. Other places it was because of everyone's faucet was dripping or busted pipes. In Dallas, the city turned off most their lights downtown. But we still had to have roll over outages in order to keep from the who system from shutting down. too many people using up electricity with central heating. But also there were power lines that had frozen and broke. So it's a multi thing that is happening and not just one. I've lived in Texas my whole life ... 54 years ... and we never had weather like this for so many days (two weeks). Two days, maybe three, but not two weeks. I'm thankful for Minnesota people from coming down here with their snow plows and helping out. We have zero snow plows here. So thanks to all who live in Minnesota

Mars ended up having the most enjoyable viewing experience today. I hope y'all got a chance to see the landing. Human ingenuity at its finest and most pure. Hopefully our future generations will surpass even our wildest expectations.
In other news, I received reports of drops for three queues today, including the first reports for the 3753...so we got that going for us...which is nice. (Apologies to Caddyshack.)
As of 6:05 pm PT Thursday evening, February 18, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from the morning of Thursday, February 18; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement from the prior report):

May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
Good luck tomorrow! Stay safe!
Hey, so I "only" have 60 hours left in the queue for the 3897! I should have one sometime in the next eight quarters, assuming nVidia doesn't discontinue the 30 series first! Also, happy to say I got in on the boarding pass program so my name, and my son's name, are onboard the Perseverance rover, as we speak. :D

I think my friend that's in Texas got a wake up call when he mentioned them having to boil water & my response was "We have to use bottled water for everything being cooked and any water we give to our dogs, all the time."
People take basic crap like that for granted especially in bigger cities, power being reliable (which in reality, it is not, all it times is some moron drunk driving in to a pole out here & we out unless it's day time & our solar is rockin'), and having clean water (which with how much water cleanliness regulations have been rolled back all over the place since before Flint happened, is being assumed as much as it is taken for granted) are sadly not at all guaranteed in what is supposedly one of the richest countries in the world.
But, I'm not gonna get in to politics too much - what's going on in Texas is sad & ridiculous, at least 2 entire families (or almost the entire family) have died because of the outages, one from carbon monoxide poisoning trying to heat their house with their car, and another using a fireplace to heat their house when the power was out resulting in a fire at night. Feel for those people's family members.
I know this is off topic, but just to provide an answer to those who are curious about Texas and this weather. We're used to 100+ degree weather, not zero degree weather.
The problem is that Texas is not suited to handle the power draw that it's experiencing. When it gets cold here, it usually last two days. This is very freakish weather for us. The governor said that the power company will be investigated. The power company said on the news that it was ready for the weather, in which it wasn't. The issue with the water varies. Fort Worth issues were from the water plants shutting down from the outage. Boiling is a precaution just in case there's issues with the water. Other places it was because of everyone's faucet was dripping or busted pipes.
In Dallas, the city turned off most their lights downtown. But we still had to have roll over outages in order to keep from the who system from shutting down. too many people using up electricity with central heating. But also there were power lines that had frozen and broke. So it's a multi thing that is happening and not just one. I've lived in Texas my whole life ... 54 years ... and we never had weather like this for so many days (two weeks). Two days, maybe three, but not two weeks.
I'm thankful for Minnesota people from coming down here with their snow plows and helping out. We have zero snow plows here. So thanks to all who live in Minnesota
Went to college in West Texas about 30 years ago and stayed in Texas for 20 years. Worst I remember was back in '90 when we got sleet in Abilene. I remember when it would get down to 30 F (in Houston) and I would feel like I was in Antarctica! Been back in the mid-west for about 11 years now and it took about this long to get used to the cooler weather again. This has been a pretty brutal storm system, even for areas that are used to it.

FYI, the NASA channel is showing the landing on Mars right now...slightly more interesting than the r/wallstreetbets hearing.
Just tuned in to hear/see the announcement that it landed safely....woohoo!
I wonder what the xfer rate is like for data lol
The Mars lander was made about 5 miles from my home at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, California.
If you hear some reporter saying he or she is at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, treat whatever they are saying with a grain of salt. If they don't even know where they are, they probably have much of the rest of the story wrong too. (JPL has a Pasadena mailing address because the La Canada Flintridge post office is too small to handle the volume of mail JPL gets, but the facility IS in La Canada Flintridge, just across the City limits from Pasadena.)
A few years ago, when I was taking a Photoshop class at Glendale Community College, I got to retouch some photos from the earlier Mars landers for a video JPL was creating showing the landers. Because of the transmission distance, there were a lot of blank pixels that needed to be filled in using the colors from adjacent pixels. It was tedious work, which was why they used a lot of student labor, but seeing the finished video was one of the best events in my life. The GPUs we were using back then were nowhere near the power of today's GPUs, but one doesn't need much power to color in missing pixels. Maybe today with AI and modern GPUs, much of the work could have been automated.
Very interesting. I grew up in Sunland/Tujunga in the 70's not too far west of there.
