12/18/2020 is when I joined the queue and I was NEVER given a chance to get my card. Now it's closed and there is nothing I can do to get the card at the promised reduced price at launch. No I didn't miss a email saying I could get it. All I want is what I was they said was reserved for me. 10G-P5-3885-KR at the latched price back in 2020...

Doesn't change the fact that it's been 2 years and they couldn't get one to me. That doesn't make sense. Even at a low production, it should have been made available by now to a person who got a request for 1.

Good analogy. It just sucks that in 2 years, nothing...

Ok then if they are just apparently available to get then just let the people who have been in on the list the longest get there stuff? They shouldn't have to fight more to be first in line to get one on the website.

I really don't get posts like this. Nothing was reserved or promised to you, nor did they guarantee you a lower price past a certain date. If you were in the queue since 12/18/2020 you were in a queue for KR skew card which Nvidia stopped sending to their AiBs for over a year. You also missed an email from EVGA offering to move you to the KL skew or opt to stay in your virtually dead KR line. You chose to wait in the dead product line, if you had even a moderate inkling of what was happening with the mining craze you should have known better than to stay in the KR queue and move over to a KL line. 
 
Bottom line is the queue was never a "reservation" system, nothing was ever set aside or promised to you. You were simply in a line to be notified "IF" an item you wanted became available. That's it nothing more. You were never promised that item. 

i feel your pain, but actually price for cards are amazingly low, so go get a 3080 FTW3 12 GB  for almost same price 999,99$  12G-P5-4879-KL 
 
You can also bundle it with an amazing keyboard Z20 and a P6 Supernova 850watts psu + promotional t-shirt for only 1127,99$  
 
Time to spent a few buck... and enjoy!  Life is splendid!

wondering which GPU the OP wanted
 
Each SKU had different restocking frequencies ... some not much at all & there was an advertised deadline for the "original price" only if your queue came up within the specified time .... then those pesky tariffs added up to 25% to the price

You were over 3 months late in joining the queue of an one of the cheapest SKUs of the most sought after GPU on the market. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to get one but the queue allowed for many to get cards without fighting bots/scalpers and spending endless hours and days attempting to monitor multiple retailers and checkout with the speed necessary to land one. With the queue I landed myself a 3090 kingpin and a 3090 ti kingpin, while also getting my best friend a 3080 10gb FTW3 Hybrid, my brother a 3080 Ti FTW3, and a work colleague a 3060 FTW3 during a time when getting most of those would've been nearly impossible.

I guess I was one of the unlucky ones.  I waited for the 3090Ti Hydro Copper card, but recently received an email from EVGA that I was booted from the queue for the card and had to wait and see if it ever showed up as in stock.  I decided to buy the 3080Ti FTW Hydro since it is in stock.  I guess they don't built many Hydro Tis cards.  I'm happy to get one at this point and can continue my now old build.  It's been some years waiting though because I was not settling on just any card.  I wanted a Ti Hydro.

I've been in the queue for a 3080Ti FTW3 Hybrid for a year but never received an alert to buy one.
 
Given some of the replies here and on other posts, it feels pot luck who got what really. 

I dunno. I got a couple cards.

i was able to get nearly every level of card. several XC blacks and several HC. had the option on some hybrids as well, but passed on them. it really wasnt too difficult.

I am just wondering did other companies who didn't do a queue somehow do a better job? If EVGA didn't have a queue and just had the cards randomly show up on the website until sold out with a price that would go up based on the retail market made you happy? I personally am glad the queue system existed since it got cards into the hands of gamers even if not everyone got one.
 
I understand the anger over waiting in the queue so long but really if the queue didn't exist the only option would be to pay the current price.

It was joke if you didnt get a card on time. Not for many (or some) who got the cards they wanted. I can tell you, this was one of the fairest options when stocks were so limited. Atleast many people got a card based on FCFS. Absolutely sorry for all those who stayed on the queue but never saw the light. It was imo. better than the F5 battle which lasted 2 seconds normally. I will add, I did get my card on the queue and I was really thankful

No one in the queue got on email to purchase the 3090 Ti HC card. According to EVGA, it was put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances:

Thanks.  I never knew that.  At this time in the game shouldn't they say it will not be developed instead of it was put on hold? 
 
I'm really glad I purchased the 3080Ti Hyro Copper now before they sold out after the $430 price drop.
