Hey everybody, first post here been a lurker since the 3060 launch. Question for you all,
 
What do we think the likelihood of EVGA actually getting through this queue before the 40 series cards are announced and begin production?
 
Based on Nvidia's release history August or September 2022 would be a realistic drop date for them and looking at the pace at which the 30 series cards are dropping EVGA wont have fulfilled 30 series demand until well into 2024.
 
thoughts? 

 
I've pondered the same thing. I couldn't find an Xbox or PS5 anywhere last fall so I decided to go back to PC gaming and upgrade my 11 year old rig. I had a GTX 550Ti and i5-2500K. Around the end of November my clueless self came on to the EVGA website expecting to buy a 3070 card. I joined the queue for 2 different 3070 SKUS and for the 3060 Tis, but settled for a 1660 that was still in stock at the time. I did sign up for the step up program, but I'm not excepting it to be fulfilled any time soon. The 3060s seem to have good momentum so there's hope...
 
Do you live near a micro center?

It used to be a joke, but more and more I see this as a reality. Especially if they follow past releases and the x080 is dropped off when the x080TI shows up meaning that those that have not obtained a 3080 by the release of the 3080 TI probably will never get one.

I was the first to say that here months ago shortly after they started the queues, go look at my post history, and most of the people laughed at me and this notion, saying it was ridiculous.
 
The 40xx will come out before they can even get halfway through the current queues. Can't understand why people can't see that since the past couple of months.
 
The situation we are in right now will last for years to come, that I'm sure of it, ESPECIALLY because of the scalping that is now basically free-for-all: they know they can get away with ANYTHING now, especially when it comes to PC parts and consoles. So yeah brace yourself, that's going to last for a veryyyyyyyyyyyyy long time to come.
 
Good luck building a PC for the next 2 years minimum or getting a new console.

Can we pool our knowledge and just make our own cards...?

While I am sure that it would not be to hard (relatively speaking) to build PCBs, Heatsinks, and other hardware to build a "card" however the actual GPU chip, and the DDR6(x) memory is a whole different story.

I think they will start ramping production in the next 4-6 weeks

People have been repeating that for months since October 2020......................

It's time Cadbury steps in and make their own graphic cards.

Only kinda kidding, but what if...... what if Atari were to resurface making affordable, quality graphics cards and consoles?

yeah but now we have the CNY out of the way , covid closures are lifting, production is getting a little better, samsung should be coming online for expansion, so yeah thinking it will get better but don't think they will meet current demand or wait list expectations ...better not fixed

On the spreadsheet it says I was skipped for the 3897 at 9/20/2020 11:20:53 PM PT and it went all the way down to 9/26. Gotta be a mistake right? I didn't get an email at all. We are going crazy waiting aren't we?!

The spreedsheet is not accurate.  Check your My Notifies in your EVGA account.

I think they will start ramping production in the next 4-6 weeks, but i agree with the "s" updates coming in sept... but team green is greedy and may postpone that launch till 2022, with the Ti cards "filling the gap" .. why would they launch a completely new revision , if they can't meet current demand? its not like were all gonna run to amd... been there and done that their launch was worse and still have horrendous stock issues... you'd have better luck finding a 5 legged unicorn at the end of a rainbow with a leprechaun riding it around a pot of gold but I digress ... dont think we will see all wait listed members get cards by the  April price increase but think we will see some significant movement. my issue is i have 4 towers at work that are inoperative  and need a basic dedicated  gpu thinking 1650 but no way I'm paying  $399-$499 for a 1650. and for my two personal rigs one running a 970 the other a 1660ti ill just have to wait it out... keep the faith hopefully we will see a boat load of cards come in =)

What kind of work are you doing with the towers? Could you use moderatly priced Quadros instead of GeForce? You can actually go to such places like NewEgg and buy.... TODAY a Quadro and compared to scalper pricing on GeForces, they are "reasonable" priced.

I was gonna say the same thing. If it's just basic office work Quadro P400s are like $130 on amazon right now.

we actually do some light gaming at the office as team building , just a nice way to blow off steam, have some fun and as a work distraction =)

The spreadsheets are garbage. The fact it's community driven is exactly why. Not to offend people but most of the community unfortunately can't follow basic instruction and its prone to "mistakes" all the time.

You check BOTH the NA and the EU spreadsheet?

Not worth checking EU or NA spreadsheet.  It's not accurate.  Always check My Notifies in your EVGA account.

Yes I know, but that doesn't mean I wasn't looking and dreaming of the day hahaha! Here's to hoping before the end of April isn't unrealistic for my time!

RTX 40 series might have the same issue. It's probably just best to forget about upgrading your graphics card altogether until the day you can go on any hardware store and buy what you want for normal prices. It might sound like waiting for Godot, but if everyone did the same prices would inevitably drop due to demand decreasing.
 
It seems graphics card sellers have done a fantastic job with marketing, turning us all into upgrade zombies. It's just like some people are with the phone industry, always buying the new one every year. Miners are often blamed, but really the fact some people are willing to spend thousands on graphics cards from scalpers shows it's also this irrational urge to buy new components all the time. Up until this year I wasn't even aware that some bought new CPU's every release, I mean at least to me it's something that seems completely absurd.
 
A graphics card can be relevant for at least 4 to 5 years. It can go longer if we're willing to turn down the graphics settings a little. We're not in the 2000's anymore when technology was progressing so fast that a 2 year old graphics card became irrelevant.

Enewts sheet still says 9/20 .....
