Wow, 3987 shot forward two days... On 10/18 now. I might actually end up getting that SKU if it keeps going at that rate 😅

I truly regret not signing up for that SKU. I could have WAY back, and I actually signed up for the more expensive models of 3080, and even two 3090 models, as I thought the more expensive cards would ship faster. We were right about that, but I could've just as easily picked the 3987 as the other two 3090s I picked, and then I would be dangerously close to draining the bank account to buy one. 
 
Honestly, it's probably a GOOD thing I didn't pick that SKU. A 3080 is a lot more in the budget than a 3090.

I'm so happy! My GTX 1060 just died.
Enewt, thank you for the effort you have put into this community.
 
FYI, I used your code during the payment process. Thanks again.

Is EVGA the only company that offers a queues system or do other companies have something similar?

EVGA is the ONLY AIB that has a queue system. For everyone else, it's up to luck and/or bots. Newegg is doing a "shuffle" lottery every day but that is going.... exactly how you would expect it to go.

If you receive an "invite to purchase" email and you miss the window, do the following:
 
     (1) reply to the email (it should have come from ) and indicate your desire to purchase the card.
     (2) call EVGA customer service during their working hours (9 am to 6 pm 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.  
 
I would jump on this now.  Best of luck!

This worked!  I emailed and called, and they said basically don't worry we got you.  They issued a new purchase email, and I just placed an order for a brand new 24G-P5-3988-KR with enewt's code.  Thanks so much for your help.

AWESOME!  So glad it worked out!  I didn't do much here...this is all thanks to EVGA customer service! They really are superlative.  Enjoy your new gaming goodness! (And thanks for using my Associate’s Code; it is appreciated.)

So I missed my window to buy and I emailed . Is that okay. Or what else should I do now. I wasn't expecting the 3657 queue to jump so fast.

So long as you responded to the email with intent to purchase then they will resend it in the morning, at which point you will be able to buy it.

So it's guaranteed if I emailed? Because I really wasn't expecting the queue to increase by 10 minutes since it was always 1 minute per day. And then I read the email just now and I so sad to read that I was hours late. Really need an upgrade.

So I already emailed and it was outside of work hours. Should I send another email tomorrow? I don't want to flood their emails. Also, I got this email yesterday at 11 am. So, 3/9/2021. Is that too late?

It should be fine. Rather than email tomorrow, I would call them during their business hours. They should be able to track down your registration and get you sorted. Best of luck.

...hint: you have to beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks and then fold them in at the end...oh, and heated real maple syrup is a requirement...not a nice-to-have).
 
I am back exercising...as of tomorrow...stationary bike and soccer runabouts with my offspring (singular). I hope you are getting out and about...it is never too late and everything helps.

I hear you on the eating your feelings. I decided to master eggs benedict, made it every other day using 5 eggs (3 yolks for the holandise 2 poached for the center piece) for 6 months. Slowed to weekends only in February. But since then I have been running and waiting for a 3090. I was blessed with a 3060 yesterday, but friend needs it WAY more with his 780ti, so I am getting a $7 profit from the round up to $400 after evga shipping costs. Btw the total is $392.26 for a 3657 with out signature confirmation.

And Enewt, please strap the alternator to the bike to offset the power of all these rtx 3000s added to the grid recently.

I know I was oversharing.  This is largely a gaming forum, although for me it is more on the scientific side / graphic artist side.  One is professional, the other is a hobby.  I kind of hope to flip that in the future.
 
I had a really bad night a couple of days ago, talking to one of my brothers.  3 of my brothers were also veterans, so it kind of stung more because being a veteran means something to me.  Combat and non-combat veterans all came into the service not knowing when their number would be called.  A few vets reached out to me, and I really appreciate that.  Some non-vets did too.  I'm glad you liked my quote enewt.
 
I thank everyone who had kind words.  I thank everyone for not griefing me, even though it was fair game to do so.  This is a great forum.  I know I'm new to here, but it has been a nice reprieve from covid.  I guess we're getting to the tail end of that, but it's still scary.  Makes other things come up in your mind because it feels like being deployed again.  Not safe.  Going to the elevator to get outside is daunting some days.  It's why I never badmouth evga.  Their workers are in a factory to make us happy.  I imagine that can be a little scary, but it pays the bills.  I'm less humble with nVidia.

Glad you're feeling better! I think a few people found my tone harsh, but in the end, I do think that any sharing is better than not. Hope your time in the queue comes up soon!
