Please, please, please lock the next shipment of FTW3 3080s for Elite Members. I know that we can't stop all bots and scalpers, but doing this would guarantee at least most of these cards get into the hands of actual long-time EVGA customers.
I work from home and I have literally been refreshing multiple URLs all day every day for the past week without any luck. I don't use bots and I don't feel like I should to purchase this card. Giving your long-time customers a better chance would go a long way to make up for the fiasco this past week.

Agreed. handle the same as the 3090s with two stock piles, one for Elite and one for the non-Elite. And if the Elite doesn't sell out in an hour or so, add it to the non-elite pile.

I've always got EVGA cards and registered them. I'm not Elite Member. I have my 580 and my 980 registered but they don't count.

it makes perfect sense to do this, very few would go to bots and you are able to limit them to 1 easier.

I wish I was. I've always brought and registered my products but they are old. A GTX 580 and 980. But EVGA don't like old anymore. I still got my Limited Lifetime Warranty on the 580 though! lol

This would be highly appreciated. If you guys could do it for the 3090s, you can at least do it for the next batch of 80s. Wasted hours yesterday F5'ing, only to get to add to cart, and never being able to checkout due to errors, yet it seemed like most of the bots/scalpers got them considering listings went up on eBay instantly.

It would be good for elite members but I think that it would be better if 50% was given to elite members while the rest are for general public.
Of course I don’t know what EVGA plans.

agree, tried to use the elite link but it kept crashing over and over. how about a phone # and phone call order for this? Seems tech cannot keep bots from destroying the website to the point we cant get it even if we are elite members. Never worked so hard in my life to "give" a company money.

apologies for the illiteracy, but when you say lock, what do you mean by locking it?

Well I guess I better go reply to every thread so I can hit the mandatory 100 post to get elite status. Such a bull crap way to purchase a product.

I picked up a 3090 FTW3 Ultra today and so I don't need a 3080, but I support this idea. Way too much stock has been going to bots. This seems like the only possible solution to get some cards to real people.
