Well it’s been 5 weeks now and the 3080 ti ftw que for me is still 50 seconds out. It’s looking like I won’t be able to use my elite membership coupon(ends beginning august) Really bummed about that. Not only did I have to fight the site being down but those “elite members” that got in before and have received their cards also got a discount. Hurts bad, will it ever get better…

    I had to fight the site too. I haven't had one single gpu notice and I signed up for most of the 30 series. Just like the rest of us, you are going to have to wait.

    Some queues are almost 10 months out.  Patience is key. Hopefully it will all work out.

    Yeah but good news the prices are dropping as scalpers are not being as successful these days. Was snooping around ebay and looks like a close run on getting cards sold off now, no way would I buy a used card that has been running for 9 months straight mining, many of those on ebay don't trust any of them. But prices are dropping which is a good thing. Scalpers will soon be busy trying to recoup their investment hopefully. With ECoin dropping not as profitable maybe and China dropping the hammer on it so they can create their own crypto.

    Ton of used cards. Ops. Hopefully early next year you can actually research and get the card you need and want without all this stupid.

    It’s not the wait I’m bummed about it’s the fact I’ll have to pay full price and waste my 30% off coupon. While the people whom were I guess lucky enough to not have server problems and had coupons get it cheaper. Essentially they got the cake and get to eat it too.

    Keep your patience mate! Things starting to look better everyday! If you've been able to wait this long, I bet you can wait a little longer! I know its frustrating, but on the bright side things look better everyday all over the world. I doubt it's gonna take long before theres card in stock everywhere.

    i had to wait 2 hours and 18 minutes before the stupid evga site would finally cooperate to allow me to queue up when the 3080 Ti launched that morning, after trying very consistently (not constantly). that was very disappointing and i wonder if becoming Elite was even worth it

    There is really not many of those people. The 3080 ti list has moved a lot in the last month, probably more than I've seen on any other lists.

    More and more people cave in and buy gpus from other sources. I doubt the queue will have much relevance at this point. I also believe that prices will never return to more anytime soon, if at all. Probably your best bet if you are not in a hurry, is to wait in queue. I think I will, and only added myself in queue recently.

    10 months from now, the 40 series will be around the corner

    > no coupon to begin with
    > 16 minutes further down the queue
     
    Since you won't get to use your promo discount, you'll surely want a bit more time to save up for the card. Hence, as a gesture of kindness, I'm willing to trade spots with you. That'll give you a few additional months, so the lack of discount won't be as noticeable if you keep setting some money aside.
     
    People sometimes ask me how I can be so nice. I'm not sure exactly. Helping just feels good, especially when it benefits me more than anyone else.

    So I will never get mine. The site was broken in the morning. I couldn't enter until like 1:30pm. 
     
    It just makes no sense that this was open to "Elite Members" only and it got totally swamped like this.

    I'm a system builder at a local pc shop ... I've bought 5 - 3070 ti cards , 4- 3080 ti cards off amazon in the last 4 months. Follow a twitter stock bot ... It's much easier than waiting in queue .stock of evga cards is also more abundant on amazon than evga.com.
