Pulled my name from queue last night, I was lucky to purchase a 3090 on 2/5/21 from micro center, not so lucky to have to spend double on a card way above what I need, was hoping to land a 3080, and would have sold the 3090 to a forum member for cost of card, but seeing what’s going on I couldn’t hold off anymore ,3 months of looking at new build, opened it last night to fire it up, had to check for any DOA items , card in sitting outside case in temporary holder, being waterblocks seem to be just as Scarce as chips lmao.
Good luck to all , hope things drop sooner than later for all.

So... there's this idea that popped in my head tonight.
So, let's say there's five 3897 that arrived to be distributed to the queue. The first 4 would go to the first 4 next people in queue like normal. However, the last one would go in a shuffle with the remaining people of the queue. The advantage of this is to keep the morale high for those that joined very late like myself. HOWEVER, if there are 3 or less cards, there won't be a shuffle and the queue order takes priority, to be fair. The only issue I see is really how to handle to notification between somebody that just happen its turn and somebody that won the raffle.
 
Rate my idea?

0* because imagine you are the fifth in queue and you just lost your card for someone on queue number 3 milion and the next drop is in a 2 month.

No, it doesn't matter. Think about it. If there were 4 cards only, the 5th one directly after in the queue is going to get the shaft anyway. So, if there are 5, the 6th one directly in the queue will get the shaft too.


However, with the raffle, the 5th one still have a chance to get a card despite the low probability.

Another card free day.
 
Just 1 MSRP priced card from the queue would have been nice.
 
I have some luck on the shuffle with newegg but I did have to over pay a bit on them.

Has anyone that Queue'd up in December received a card yet? I queue'd on December 15th with a confirmation e-mail etc... Still waiting patiently :P

It depends on the card for which you queued up.  The 3060Tis, Hybrids and Kingpin queues have all serviced registrants with December timestamps.  The card queues that started in September, October and November, they are mostly still in their launch month (except the 3090 Ultras have moved from September to October).  So, again, it depends on which card you queued up for.  Here is the latest summary for North America: .
 
I hope that helps. Best of luck!

"Due to ongoing events, EVGA has made price adjustments on the GeForce RTX 30 Series products. This change was necessary due to several factors and will be effective January 11, 2021. EVGA has worked to reduce and minimize these costs as much as possible. For those who are currently in the EVGA.com Notify Queue system or Step-Up Queue, EVGA will honor the original MSRP pricing through April 16th, 2021 if your purchase position is processed before this date."

are you sure on april 16, 2021 or not ???

Since EVGA doesn't tend to send out notifications on Saturdays, we also see a lower number of folks reporting back here with their "yes" notifications on Saturdays as well. I have not seen Newegg do a Saturday shuffle yet. Did they do one today, and I missed it??
 
Also, what card did you get from the shuffle?

 
I got an evga 3090 3987-kr. they charged about 2076 counting tax an up charge of 150 usd. I am build a rig for my friends wife she was going to get a 3080  so she is getting a 3090.  I am waiting for 11th gen intel i7 to come out and the newer mobos. I  have all the other parts. In order to lower price for the build I am mining the card and have earned back a few hundred dollars.
If all parts arrive by April  I will be able to 400-500 mining the card and then she would get  a slightly used 3090 with a 5 year warranty as I purchased one from evga. Since she can not get the 11th gen yet it is working out. So far I have built a few 3000 series rigs. I will continue to do this during the year.

If you're looking for a high-end processor, have you considered AMD if waiting for intel is holding you back? They have taken the lead in offering the best processors in the market.

Honestly, all the time I've spent refreshing pages and hoping to get a good deal with one of these cards is truly not worth the effort. Here's a story for y'all:

Around September, I had preordered a 3080 from a local store here in Greece. (plaisio.gr) I paid 30% of the card's projected price and was told that I would get my card a few days after its launch.
With the launch being what it is, I called them and asked, "Hey. Are you guys sure you're going to be able to deliver? Should I look elsewhere?", to which they replied "Everything's fine sir, we have enough stock to cover our preorders, you can expect your delivery within the next 10 days.
So that was a bold faced lie and should come to no surprise today, but for myself at that time, it  was somewhat frustrating. So I called them again 2 weeks after the missed deadline. They said 'the shortage is much worse than we anticipated but we will get you your card by black friday'. I said 'you better, or I'm going to pursue legal action'. 
Black friday came and went, there were several phonecalls, i even sent my lawyer after them (who will win the case by the way, but that sort of legal action takes years to resolve in Greece) but I still got nowhere closer to getting a card. So around november, I started scouring the net. I signed up on this queue super late because of this, and even then was dumb enough to only queue for the 3080s since that was the only card I was really interested in. 
Since then i've signed up for various notifications, I set up friends and family addresses on various european cities that can get FE cards shipped to should they drop in those area, and I've watched as the prices go up up up while availability seemingly gets even lower. Stores in Greece now sell 3070 cards at 1300eur, 3090 cards at 3000eur, and they still sell out within seconds.

So I've had enough. I'm tapping out. I'll keep using my 970 until this blows over. Somehow gamers have been turned into addicts, willing to pay exorbitant prices for cards, even if that card isn't the one they originally wanted, and then put that card into mining to make some money back. It's nuts.

I'll just patiently wait for a card that's available, that I can pick up without hassle. I just can't feel angry or sad anymore every time I 'miss a drop' or some nonsense, lol.
I really hope y'all get what you want. Good luck!
