You may have the best chance w Zotac Store Drops - yesterday they dropped 50 Trinity 80's.  They usually drop everyday

Don't really want a Zotac, but I'm so far down the list for a 3080 here in the queue that I wouldn't mind buying one to use while I wait. They are priced much better than MSI, also. Do you know about what time they do their drops? Thanks for the tip, regardless.

Basically what these contracts are saying is that BestBuy (newegg, microcenter also) customers are more important than EVGA customers.
 

I had to laugh at this one a little, hehehe. EVGA customers also shop at Best Buy, Newegg, and Microcenter, fyi. In fact, you can't even shop at microcenter as a bot. You literally have to show up, wait in line, and do all the legwork physically to buy the product, which makes you a pretty loyal customer, really. 

I'm not agreeing with the angle ken is going for here, because it's a fruitless path to take.  For example, if your product is in Walmart, Walmart is going to dictate a lot of terms to you.  If you don't like it, they'll delist you and give that shelf space to someone else.  That's just the business, and I'd imagine there are similar mechanisms when selling to Newegg, BestBuy, Micro Center, and a few other retailers where AIBs are sold.
 
That said, from a hierarchy point of view, if EVGA ships cards to say BestBuy, BestBuy is the customer in that transaction.  People who then buy cards from BestBuy are customers of BestBuy, but consumers of EVGA products.  If someone buys from EVGA direct, then that person is a customer of EVGA, and a consumer of EVGA products.  I understand why that doesn't immediately resonate with a typical shopper, but that is how it is on a transactional level.  Again, not agreeing with the angle, but it is technically correct in terms of who the real customer is.

Ugh hopefully more 3897's come out... I had gotten the email on the 3987 (3090) but got stuck working a double that day and didn't get home within the 8 hour window so lost my chance... my poor 980ti is artifacting on me, going to have to swap out to an old GTX280 that I've got in a drawer... 
 
10G-P5-3897-KR 10/25/2020 11:11:21 AM PT  No
24G-P5-3987-KR 9/24/2020   6:14:27   PM PT  Yes

 
Ok, it is a little late, but let's give it a go.  If you can still find your 3987 "invite to purchase" email AND want to buy that card, do the following:
 
     (1) reply to the email (it should have come from ) and indicate your desire to purchase the card (with maybe an explanation as to why you are pursuing this in March 2021 (missed the 8 hour window, grew despondent and swore off of computers for two plus months (kidding about this piece)).
     (2) call EVGA customer service during their working hours (9 to 6 am Weekdays (excluding EVGA holidays)): 1.888.881.EVGA (3842)
     (3) they should be able to locate your reply, confirm that the queue has reached your registration and reissue you a new email with a new link to purchase your card.  It might take a day or so for them to confirm on-hand inventory and issue the replacement email.  
 
Please be vigilant about checking your in-box, whitelist  with your preferred email client, and do not panic about the 8 hour window.  EVGA will get you sorted.  
 
If they say "too late", come back and post in this thread again or PM me.  We will do our best to get you your card!!!
 
Best of luck!

Thanks enewt, I'll give it a try, that was back on November 2nd and it came from support@ so I won't hold out too much hope, since you mentioned it I should have actually tried that earlier, just was worn out with the busy holiday season, covid and missing the window, came close to swearing never to touch a computer again :) 
 
Will keep you posted. Thanks again. 

I am caught on a work call that will likely stretch for hours, but here is an update with the reports I have been able to source on what appears to be a straggler day pretty much across the board.
 
Please note that despite just a few units dropping to the 3987 (3090 FTW3 Ultra), its movement through the timeline is pretty dramatic. I would assume that as each card gets into the middle of October, it too should have a pretty high velocity through the timeline (it is just getting there that is taking our souls to new levels of despair).  But hope springs eternal and there has certainly been the rare occasion when EVGA makes a sizable drop to the queues on a Friday...rare, but it has happened.  
 
Regardless, EVGA opens tomorrow at 9 am PT and we will be here, on the wall, waiting...and watching.
 
Have a good night.

The 5600x and 5800x have been in stock at several retailers and staying in stock for awhile.

This is awesome to hear.  I'm planning on a 5800x build in another few weeks or so.  Probably going to be in a Corsair 5000D Airflow.  Hoping to make it thru the queue for a EVGA 3898 waterlogged card and then I'm looking for one of the new Sabrent Rocket 4+ SSDs with 32GB of 3600 RAM.  I think this on a ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PLUS motherboard would be a fantastic foundation for a new gaming and multipurpose system.

Just wanted to let you know, heard back from them super fast, as expected they said it's been too long and to re-enter the queue. Since I did re-enter the queue back in November for that 3090 again and the 3080... I'll just wait. I do wish they had 10-16 hour windows instead of 8. 
 
Here is hoping production speeds up.

It's definitely further along than that. There was a drop yesterday and no one here mentioned getting a notification.

Maybe. I'm at 9:02:27 and still no email

Chairman_maoIt's definitely further along than that. There was a drop yesterday and no one here mentioned getting a notification.

How do you know that there was a drop yesterday in this case? There two possibility: no one mentioned or there wasn't drop

EVGA_JacobF, is it possible to tell us at least last "DateEntered" in line that was notified? This information mean almost nothing: without no knowledge how many people in line and how many cards in each drop it almost useless. Beside that this information already maintains by community. Not so accurate as it can be, but anyway...

After the 3987 being stagnant for a couple of weeks, this week’s drops put me from 4 days out to 9.5 hours out in the cue, so now I’m wondering if Friday’s gonna be the day.

Good Friday everyone!  May today be the day for you.

Good morning and happy Friday! I know Fridays are often straggler days, but hopefully some of us will be ending our watches today.

Just got my 3070 gigabyte RMA in from cyberpower. Finally able to rock a 3070 until I can get a 3080 from evga. 

Man what's happening with the 3080 FTW3 Ultra? We had some nice momentum for the past 2 weeks and it was going fast, but now this whole week we've been getting scraps and the queue barely moved... :(
